I might have to do this myself.
I’m sure he will be on other venues, should you not want to suffer Matty (I won’t).
[I want to know why Robin what’s her name has high powered binoculars in her apartment? (she ‘reported’ in and made a point of it: (para)”... very good one’s too!...”).]
I wish the pilot had to integrity to not become part of the media circus.
“Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III said that in the few minutes he had to decide where to set down the powerless plane Thursday afternoon, he felt it was “too low, too slow” and near too many buildings to go anywhere else,”
I think the natural reaction of most people would be to try and get it back to the runway. This pilot understood that a decision like that might not only kill everyone on the plane but a lot of people on the ground. The water landing was the decision of a pilot with great skills, incredible courage, and in MHO great moral character.
Just once I’d like to see a person in Captain Sully’s position (politely) just say no to these interviews.
He seems to be such a cool dude I had hopes he’d be the guy.
A lot of those are gone, and very few are presented in public by a disdainful media that only wants scandal and blood.
Captain Sullenberger, made a decision based on years of flying, not only powered aircraft, but unpowered gliders as well. That kind of experience lends itself to being able to make snap judgements in milliseconds.
All the Monday morning quarterbacking going on here takes away from the facts.
He didn't have power. (Birds through BOTH engines)
He didn't have altitude.
He did have a 'soft' spot to land with little or no traffic to interfere.
He had a Flight Crew that DIDN'T panic.
Hero's all. We need to see them.
