- There is no doubt that Sully and the rest of the crew are real heroes who saved many lives.
As a flight attendant married to a pilot I was disappointed to see Donna Welsh out of uniform. She''s crew. Thanks to a remarkable piece of airmanship her life, along with the lives of the rest of the crew and passengers were saved. I''m sure it was a traumatic experience for her down the back galley but she seemed to have totally disassociated herself from the rest of her crew. She should have been wearing her uniform with pride. It should be a symbol of honour and pride as much so as the American flag. - Reply to this comment
- How Katie Couric has climbed the news anchor ladder as fast as she has bewilders me. She kept poking at Captain Sulley as to bring out the very worst possible events of this story. She even ask if, during the few moments he had to concentrate on landing in the Hudson, "...did you pray?" Pray for what? God''s intervention? God had nothing whatsoever to do with this heroic event. Forty years of flight training and a solid professional is what saved Flight 1569. If you believe that God saved this flight from disaster, then ask yourself this: If God did intervene, then why did he not intervene on the any of the previous crashes that killed everyone onboard? Does He pick and choose which airliner He will save and which airliner he will let be destroyed? Gimme a break....

- Sully, New Yorkers are different;we are brusque and loud,we will tell you to hurry up and move along the same way we''ll tell you your fly is open or your car is on fire - quickly, without any fanfare. The same way, we''ll rescue you from a crash landing. The same way we labored at the Twin Towers. In Civility - Manners, Morals, and the Etiquette of Democracy, Carter states that civility is, "the sum of the many sacrifices we are called to make for the sake of living together." In a city of 8.2 million, many sacrifices are made. You''ve seen and heard the rescue people talking about The Miracle on the Hudson. You''ve seen their mouths move, heard the censorship BLEEP, yet read their lips, and knew. The "New York Minute," exists because New Yorkers make sacrifices every day. They go to work in tall, tight buildings, go home to families, friends, neighbors, and neighborhoods to eat, watch TV, get some sleep, then set out for the living together again the next day. They crowd the streets, buses, and subways, yet stop to help someone with a package, never missing a footfall or syllable. Sometimes we''ll say please, thank you, and you''re welcome, but only if it''s heartfelt. We can''t spend that "New York Minute," on the mundane, preparing to make sacrifices for the sake of living together.
We won''t whisper to you in passing. You, the crew, the passengers, and all the rescuers have somehow begun to set right 9/11. This can help us, and you too, to heal now. Thank you, kateswindow.com - Reply to this comment
