"This was dual engine
loss at 2800 feet followed by immediate water landing with 155
souls on board.
No one has ever trained for an incident like
that. No one." -
Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger
Why watch this?
Often heroism goes unnoticed when it's ordinary people doing
their jobs.

Dad's Preview:
Thanks to a tsunami wave of super-hero films, the definition of the word hero
is a bit skewed for folks.
This film focus is airline captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberg,
whose flight departing NYC was struck by birds mere seconds after
takeoff. He quickly made the decision to
land in the Hudson river. Nobody died, but the FAA was convinced
he could have landed at nearby Teterboro airport. This
amazing film will help you understand true heroism in the most
understated, yet powerful, manner. Once again, Tom Hanks proves
he's the man.
