This is a Genuine G-Shot prepared in tribute to true
American heroes: Captain "Sully" Sullenberger and the
flight crew of US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus 320 jet
aircraft with 155 souls on board, who made the remarkable
emergency water crash landing on January 15th, 2009 on the
Hudson River in New York City.
Training, experience, and discipline do indeed count. I
am about the same age as Capt. Sully, with 27 years
experience as an 911 police, fire and medical dispatcher
with the City and County of San Francisco's Department of
Emergency Management. I can also attest to the value of
team work and the need to keep a cool head as so many
lives depend upon our every action when seconds really do
count. Well done Captain Sully and your crew, we all have
reason to be proud of you as true American heroes.

NEW YORK (AP) — A cool-headed pilot maneuvered his
crippled jetliner over New York City and ditched it in the
frigid Hudson River on Thursday; all 155 on board were
pulled to safety as the plane slowly sank. It was, as New
York Governor Patterson said, "a miracle on the Hudson."
One victim suffered two broken legs, a paramedic said, but
there were no other reports of serious injuries, just lots
of wet socks, Capt. Sully walked the entire length of the
sinking aircraft twice to make sure all souls had safely
exited the plane. US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320
bound for Charlotte, N.C., struck a flock of birds after
takeoff just minutes earlier at LaGuardia Airport,
apparently disabling both engines. The pilot, identified
as Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III of Danville,
Calif., "was phenomenal," passenger Joe Hart said. "He
landed it — I tell you what, the impact wasn't a whole lot
more than a rear-end (collision). It threw you into the
seat ahead of you. "Both engines cut out and he actually
floated it into the river," he said. No doubt due to his
40 years experience as a glider pilot.
Capt. Sully thank you for a job well done! ==================
