I remember the Miracle on the Hudson. We watched it on the news, as the people were rescued from standing on the wings of the plane. It was AMAZING to think that the captain knew exactly what to do, and within like 6 minutes of the birds hitting was able to safely land the plane and get the men and women off the airplane and that they were all rescued and survived.
Captain Sully is a remarkable man. He came from a humble background in Texas and had a love of flying his whole life. He got his pilot's license at the age of 16 and has been flying ever since. He spent years and years studying other people's experiences, including extensive learning about plane crashes and what went wrong. It is because of this that he knew what to do when his engines went out, and what not to do.
I'm not going to lie, reading this made me nervous to fly across the country with Cora again. You have your life in the pilot's hands. He said that he has been flying for nearly half of aviation's history. It is really amazing, and I hope he continues to succeed.
