Surviving Flight 1549

Everyone knows the story: a U.S. Airways jetliner crashed into New York's Hudson River and all the passengers and crew were rescued. But, as Steve Hartman reports, there's a lot more to it than that.

No wonder this country is not only in the toilet but flushed....most of the comments on all of the coverage are negative and cynical...nasty, let's see you jerkoffs be on this plane, how would you be feeling right now...and those, "sick of this (positive, happy ending) story already...ship yourselves off to Iraq, Afganistan...now that's old news and a disaster you should fit right in, but oh, that's right all you can do is make stupid remarks, get over yourselves and do something remarkable, NOW

Casey Jones, heh heh. This story makes me cry but I can't help laugh at 'the story of Casey Jones.'

I know someone who survived the plane that crashed in Sioux City Ia, completely changed his---he was a money starved ladder climber always landing the deal---after the crash--over time---he sold literally everything he had and bought an rv and travelled the country. Always finding a story and people to help. Today, very content and happy, married and 2 kids, still giving of himself and literally has no attachment to monetary crap. He lives how we all should.

it would break the laws of physics, thats funny !

There is no proof for such things...... no proof for god and no proof for that he doenst exists.

Whatever you believe in, keep the faith !

Yeah, misdiagnosed by at least three different doctors. You need to admit that the reason you don't want to believe in God is because of your lifestyle issues. You are afraid of a judgment. Maybe one day the flying spaghetti monster that you believe in will save you.

Here's a thought...get off your high horses and switch places with the crew and passengers on that flight...still want to focus on the negative...I don't think the saying "There are no Atheists in Foxholes" would still be relevant today...we are all entitled to our beliefs and thoughts....especially when we think we are about to die! How dare you all write such horrible nasty negative things!

But maybe we should try and stick to the subject here: flight 1549. : )

tamarind. And about the breast-cancer case: Most probably it was all a lie. But other possible explanations are that she was wrongly diagnosed, that she didn't have breast cancer, that it was just a benign tumor, or that it was a type of breast cancer that passes, disappears by itself. One totally impossible explanation is that "Santa Claus", "Sky-Daddy", "God" performed a miracle on her(maybe while taking a break from his giving infant children AIDS or cancer, haha) Gods or santas don't exist!

tamarind. Thanks to modern science we know that nothing supernatural can exist..because it would break the laws of physics. So there are no gods, no souls, no after-lives, no telepathy, no psychic abilities, the list goes on and on unfortunately..since con-men and/or deluded people can make gullible or stupid people believe just about anything, it seems. Cheers!
