Amazing news story

Plane crashes in water, no one dies, passengers wait on wing until rescued.

Capt. Sullenberger has proven that it is possible - at least some of the time - for passengers to survive an emergency water landing.

Even more - apparently he maneuvered to miss hitting buildings while his plane was disabled.

No one died. 155 people basically walked off that plane.

I know that there are the usual people coming out and saying, "He did what he was trained to do so he was not a hero" but I say bosh, the man IS a hero in my book. He kept his cool. He remembered what he had learned. He avoided hurting anyone on the ground. And all his passengers and crew survived.

God bless you, Capt. Sullenberger.
