Chesley B. Sullenberger: An American Hero
You have all heard of thee “Miracle on the Hudson” coined by David Paterson, the mayor of New York, and the story should be inspirational to the entire world. This is a personal finance blog, so I won’t go into every angle and story that you could extract from this amazing story, but I just had to pay tribute to a true American hero that did not fold under pressure and put his 40 years of flying experience and air safety experience into practice.
Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, a U.S. Air Force graduate and former fighter pilot, made the first ditch landing of a wide-bodied aircraft with a 100% survival of all passengers.
Sullenberger is a patriot and an American hero. Obama’s first order of business should be an executive order to give Sullenberger the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Hats off to the rescuers of New York City and the ferry and tug boat captains to respond as quickly as they did.
But wait, isn't Sullenberger HATED by the former America West Pilots? Who DON't they hate? Who DON'T they sue????? Who is totally out of touch with the rest of American Society??? The pilots under the flag of the corrupt LEONIDAS!
