I must say that I hope the marketing macine does not kick in too hard. :-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lorelei - <BR/><BR/>I cannot even imagine the amount of nerve and focus required. I am happhe could and did. All is well!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Halloooo Tina!<BR/><BR/>I agree, and am glad the right people where in the right place to bring their expertise to bear. Something we should tell ourselves and our children: The prusuit of excellence is its own reward. Thanks for your kind comment!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hallooo Carolyn - <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the compliment. I must say that the press pursues a level of rigor and objectivity that I sorely lack. (Not to mention jopurnalism majors and proof-readers.) But, I'm OK-wid-it. Ha!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hallooo b - <BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting! I have a feeling that the pilot would be heartened by you celebrating excellence. When we think we cannot approach it, or it's not worth it, I think stories like this re-inspire us to rise.CoyoteFehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565436605473733851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414044777643138336.post-37963810222210659862009-01-17T01:15:00.000-05:002009-01-17T01:15:00.000-05:00Rebecca-san - It's Kipling's "If you can keep your...Rebecca-san - <BR/><BR/>It's Kipling's "If you can keep your head when all about you<BR/>are losing theirs and blaming it on you," phenomenon. I read today that this was the first commercial flight water landing (50 years of history) without a fatality. Certainly every pilot would like to go their whole life avoiding such a thing, and forced to face it, would step up, giving it everything they had. What is wonderful is that all the focus, training and preparation that was apparently the mark of the man, allowed him to triumph. And, the whole keeping focus, checking twice to make sure everyone got off the plane before he did is just so such a quiet testimony to him. I wish all good things and kindness for him and his.CoyoteFehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08565436605473733851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6414044777643138336.post-5932817656408294102009-01-16T20:35:00.000-05:002009-01-16T20:35:00.000-05:00A hero!

I don't think I've ever, in my lifetime, have heard a story like this. He is indeed the hero of the day, the hero of the month, the year, the decade, shall I go on? It's just amazing. With clarity of mind and experience and unfailing responsibility for each and every one of his passengers he brought them all to safety. The man deserves medals and more. And, thank God, we have pilots like him flying the skies! God Bless him. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, go Sully! You are my hero!rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.com
