    And I agree with you Tom. One of the first thing they tell in flight school, if you have to ditch the plane, don't do it in water.

    There is a lot skill that went behind that landing in the Hudson.

    Any landing that an airliner makes is miraculous. Im still in awe just watching them get off the ground

    This pilot should have rose petals thrown at his feet for the rest of his life. The F/O as well. What they were able to achieve I dont believe we will see again in our lifetime.

    I can't begin to tell you the emotions that come over me when I see that video. Absolutely amazing how fast those people got out and the amazing response from those ferries.

    Respect to the flight crew, it's not easy to ditch an aircraft with the engines mounted under the wings but this team got it spot on.

    I'm amazed how quickly the ferry crews came to the rescue, it's good to see in this crazy world how people still care.

    In my book the full crew (flight and Cabin) are heroes, it takes a lot to get well over 100 people out of a plane in minimal time, the ferry crews are stars as well as they came to the rescue and eliminated the final element of danger for the survivors on the wings.

    Don't know if you saw this in the news, from a hospital bed a passenger was describing the events and then pulled back covers and he was wearing the Capt's shirt. The Capt. had given this man his shirt to help keep him warm after being in the water. Flying the aircraft and ditching it without lose of life, being the last off making sure everyone else was off and then giving up his shirt to further help a passenger, HERO no doubt about it.
    Regards,
    Brian
