Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger Recalls Moment Engines Died during "Miracle on the Hudson"

Pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the man you would most want in the cockpit anytime you board a commercial airliner, gave his first interview since he crashed landed a US Airways jet in the Hudson River in New York City.
Sullenberger told Katie Couric on CBS’s "60 Minutes" on Sunday that he spent his entire career training for the day he safely landed Flight 1549 in the Hudson River. “It was the worst sickening pit of your stomach, falling through the floor feeling I’ve ever felt in my life,” Sullenberger said. “I knew immediately it was very bad.”

The episode became known as the "Miracle on the Hudson," and lifted the spirits of the nation, which has been buffeted by the almost non-stop news of greed, cowardice, corruption, incompetence and breach of trust on Wall Street. If Sullenberger had been like Wall Street’s top executives, he would have bailed out and left the passengers to their own fate. Thankfully, he had a bit more charachter than those asshats.

Here's the actual audio from the cockpit recorder and air traffic control.

So if you can stand the sickening drivel of the vapid Katie Couric, here's the interview...

Shakespeare was right...lets kill all the lawyers!

Douchebag of the Year
Let's say you are in a plane that is about to crash over New York City, but by the grace of God, your pilot manages to do something that hasn't been done on a commercial airliner before....... he manages to land the plane on water and everybody is safe.
What's your response? You wanna kiss the pilot and crew who pulled this off? Maybe reevaluate your life and think about what's really important?
I thought so......but not if you're an asswipe like Joe Hart......it's time for a lawsuit. The Joe Hart's of this world (Joe's a salesman for ING by the way) are exactly whats wrong with America. Before you read the next paragraph keep in mind that US Air has given each passenger $5000 for their "trouble".

Joe Hart, a salesman from Charlotte who suffered a bloody nose and bruises, says he “would like to be made whole for the incident.” It’s too soon after the accident to determine what emotional distress he has suffered, he says. “I want to see how things play out with US Airways,” he says. “I’m hopeful US Airways understands the significance of the incident.”

He hopes they understand the significance? I don't know what is more disgusting...the fact that only a large payday is going to make this douchebag whole again, or the fact that I'm sure the ambulance chasing lawyers are after each and every one of these passengers to do the same thing. I mean we should really be suing the geese here, right?.......seems to me they were at fault. And they were "Canadian Geese" so isn't that out of juristiction or something....sue Canada!

Dipshit....... you just survived a plane crash....... into the Hudson River...... In January. And you did so, because some guy you've never met ( Sully the pilot), and a crew, who probably gets paid a lot less than you do, decided to take responsibility for your life. If you don’t like the way they did it, why don’t you go take a long, cold swim and decide how you like the alternative. Christ... you hate to wish death on anybody, but we need this asswipes like this out of the gene pool.
