@mcclellandt I agree that it was everyone else on the plane who was lucky -- that SULLY WAS THE PILOT! I will acknowledge that he was lucky in one specific area -- that the river was right there. Had the river not been within reach, this story would have had a different ending only because he would not have had an unpopulated area in which to land the plane. But other than that, it was all the skill, experience, and confidence of this man that made the landing a success.

@dukieboy007 I'm not, we're both partially correct. I'm going to contradict myself and say that i agree with you that he was lucky of how amazing everything turned out. But you can't deny that everyone else wasnt lucky!! My first response was really more of a light-hearted statement.

Really an incredible story and one we all should not forget! If I had been a passenger on that flight I would have literally "shit" my pants while the plane descended! God Bless you Sully,Skiles,and the Flight Attendants for your professionalism,calm, demeanor! As well credit to the NYC emergency persons involved. As well good work Patrick Harden air traffic controller! You guys are all to be commended for your actions that day! Good that you testified to congress Sully and others about issues!

@mcclellandt You are sooo wrong!!! Even Sully would say that he was lucky !
-
@dukieboy007 Yes I do believe that. Everyone else on the plane is EXTREMELY lucky that HE was the one flying, going through the air force and commercial flying for 30 years and teaching emergency courses or whatever.
He had some luck just with the fact that it was not only a great landing but a flawless landing. And that not a single person was injured.

@mcclellandt Comon.... Do you really think that, for real ?
I dont want to talk bad about him, at all.
But he WAS lucky !

I'm a highschool football player, and looking at that photo of a young Sully reminded me of a friend I have in the JROTC, an organization that I have always made a point to respect.
Next time you see a kid in the JROTC and you think about making fun of him, just think about what he could be in the future...

@dukieboy007 Experienced, calm, skillfull. The only lucky part about it was that HE was the one flying the plane.
Proud to be a citizen of earth... He did it for all of us... Made us all happy.

I think it's great that Katie Couric tried SO hard to make things dramatic and Capt. Sullenberger just told it how it was, in black and white.
