As a teenager, I learned to fly and earned a private pilot's license. I've always admired those who are paid to fly for a living, and when Capt. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger landed his Airbus A320 in the Hudson River after a bird strike caused the plane to lose power in both engines, I tried to imagine how I would have responded to this emergency. I expect every pilot does this. We know how calmly Capt. Sullenberger responded, thereby saving his life as well as the lives of all of the passengers and flight personnel on board. Here is an amazing video recreation of the brief flight of US Airways Flight 1549.
