  • This speech is legendary after seeing it in Capitalism a Love Story, I watched that movie so many times yet never bothered to look up the clip in full.

  • 1 person didn't land a fully loaded airliner into a river surrounded by a densely populated area....just sayin'.

  • Chesley B Sullenberger III is not only an excellent pilot, but he also has extraordinary abilities as a public speaker. Honestly: how many professional speakers can even be compared with Sullenberger, when it comes to rhetorical skills?

  • Too bad i can only give this a thumbs up once.

  • @davidgeorge31

    Pray for me. I gotta live in the same country as these idiots.

  • @davidgeorge31

    It's all to funny, they take out loans they know they will never repay. Then when the house of cards falls, they need to blame others. Cause America is never wrong. Like the 60 year old bus driver on CNN who got an $800,000 mortgage. It takes an American to think that woman would ever pay that loan off.

    The worst part, financial derivatives caused the crash. They have no regulation at all. Still to this day. Yet, half of America thinks that no regulation is the best regulation.

    Nitrostang50 sounds like a right winger who has never stepped foot off American soil. Then again, it isn't hard to best an American. Half of us Americans are not very intelligent. If you have a college education, your called, "liberal elitist". I would be willing to bet that he doesn't even know that the Christian party all over the world are socialist. But here in America, the Christians are the ones who wish to oppress and only the strong survive.
