In the four years since Captain 'Sully' Sullenberger safely crash-landed his jetliner on the Hudson River in New York City, ten babies have been born to the passengers aboard his plane.
The anniversary of the 'Miracle on the Hudson' served as a reminder that the hero pilot did more than just save 155 lives on January 15, 2009.
The captain of U.S. Airways flight 1549 today had a chance to meet some of those ten children who would not be in the world without him. Additionally, 20 passengers got to personally thank Sullenberger for his quick-thinking and bravery.

Bump!
God is good!
Where is Hollywood with this real life made for movie plot?
A true USA Hero.
Indeed.
Thanks for posting this...
I am no Sully...but I did place a baby for adoption....she found me- just 2 weeks ago...and I found out I was a grandma!!!
I didn’t choose life, God ONLY gives life...I merely chose to not take life....
but it was not until you posted this, that I realized that choosing NOT to take life was not just about her....It is about so much more than that one life....it is about all those lives that will live and all those generations that will carry on through her....
this post reminds me of the ending of Schindler’s List....how many more can we save? how many more generations and families will carry on, if we can save only one?
Oh, congratulations!
A similar thing happened to me, only he found me back in July. I have two grandkids!
'He was suffering from post-traumatic stress... for about a year and a half,' Lorrie, Sullenberger's wife of 23 years, revealed.
Is any one truly surprised about this? The man had nerves of steel, when they were needed. He's certainly entitled to finally letting it affect him; it was rather terror inducing!
