What gets me is that a couple of the passengers on this plane tried suing the airline. One of them citing that they "...hadn't been complete since nearly dying". As if it was the airline's fault birds flew up in the engines. How "complete' would those passengers be if that pilot hadn't the balls of solid rock and the knowhow to land in the water without the plane breaking up?

Hat's off to this pilot. Absolute hero.

In addition to saving everyone on board's life, the pilot was also completely calm in this situation. That really shows something about the guy. He showed no fear of death, and spent all his time working on a solution to save everyone on board. One minute spent panicking and this could've ended way differently. Hats off to you Mr. Sullenberger, you are a true hero.

My dad was on that flight, so we got to see he plane when it came to Charlotte a few weeks ago. There's multiple giant holes in the fuselage, its truly amazing how they all survived. Im so thankful to god and the pilot. GO SULLY

this is a TRUE hero, not someone who just signs up for the military & never sees action of saves someone. A hero is a person who saves lives, they throw around the "hero" term too much these days. This pilot is the epitomy of what a hero is & is an example of where & when the term should be used.

Now, everyone can swim

Within 3 minutes of door-open, first boat visible to pax (anti-panic). First boat grabs pax in less than 5 minutes! Second boat on-scene in 7 minutes. Five-plus boats in under 10 minutes.

TREMENDOUS RESCUE RESPONSE!!!!

@JapanForSale It is very VERY hard to be able to pull something like that off with out disintegrating the plane yes... especially with the speeds planes go, but he just goes to show that if you know how your plane works - a bit like a car driver, or a horse rider - you know how you can manipulate it to work! He got the perfect angle :)

[2CSparkie]

That is one of THE hardest thing for a plane to do without breaking up. God daymn. That pilot has balls. Amen to that dude!
