Now this is what I call a hero - landed his plane on the Hudson River as if it was a runway - double checked plane twice to make sure no one was left on the plane and was the last man out- I salute you

What a hero this man is. Holding his nerve to land the thing without smashing it up and sinking is one thing; to then walk up and down the aisle twice to check all passangers and crew were off safely before being the last person to exit is balls of steel stuff.

Indeed. In three or four foot of water inside by then, it sounds like. Bet he won the Top Gun Trophy when he was a fighter pilot...

I am off on my travels in a few weeks time, I wonder if I can ring ahead and book him for pilot duties?

Agree with all the above, and not a single casualty. Amazing.
