I just wanted to make a quick blog post to say how amazed I am at this Pilot who safely landed a plane with failed engines on the Hudson River and had ZERO FATALITIES.

I can't imagine the amount of skill, courage, and calmness under pressure necessary to facilitate this but I really think this is one of the most amazing news stories of recent times. This guy is the definition of hero and deserves like 6,000 international medals of honor as far as I'm concerned.

I can't even wrap my head around it, it's such a miracle and beautiful thing.

Sucks how 99.9% of news is so negative.

Totally agree, when I heard about this I thought it was another tragedy but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out what really happened.

Hero pilot.

ridiculous how he is basically controlling something that is gliding and he was able to maneuver it back to the hudson. thank god for zero casualties.

standard shoving ak vs kk preflop and sucking out imo

lol, jokes. i completely agree w/ it sucks 99% of news being negative shit. people like this deserve a few days of notice at least

you hear about the lady that went to one of those bank house-buying auctions (when the previous owners couldn't pay the mortgage so they sell it for cheap) bought the house in full, then gave it back to the previous owners?

man.. stories like that warm my heart. true heroes

thanks for story by the way, i like hearing bout this kind of stuff
