  • very humble man.... the world needs more people like this.

  • In a world where so many untalented, selfish, self-centered people somehow become "famous", it is refreshing to see someone get attention who truly, truly deserves it. Bravo Captain Sully for using your skill and experience to do something that was truly noteworthy!

  • We need more rivers dammit!!

  • captain sullenberger is a class act no doubt and a hero but he also acknowledges that the rest of the flight crew was every bit as needed as himself. this is the mark of a true hero he does not take credit that is undue and looks at it as he was doing his job. his experience and training landed the plane safely but the flight crews expertise made sure everyone got off the plane safely. all of them are heroes it's just capt sullenberger is first amongst them...

  • @knight0582 Your fucking stupid.

  • this is what you call a true hero..i am from england and when i first saw this i thought americans must be so proud of this guy.

  • lol those poor birds just get shred up in the engines , we are not suppoded to be up there , we dont have wings , same like u swim in the ocean and complain at be eaten by a shark ! but hes gr8 anyway if ill ever overcome my flightfear i want him to be my pilot !!! :P

  • "Miracle". What an insult to those professionals who have worked and innovated so hard to create affordable, fast, and safe air travel. Like thanking "God" after oncologist professionals save your life from cancer.

  • "I couldn't have done this without my gigantic balls"

  • These are better questions than Katie Couric's, at least.

  • All I'm saying is that it wasn't so much as the pilots skill that landed the plane on the river as much as the mechanics of the air craft. There were just other factors.

  • captain sullenberg is my hero ^__^
