Chris is in New York today. He is flying home this evening, but is trying for an earlier flight. CNN is on in the background. Sitting on the computer in the next room. BREAKING NEWS they say, special music. Anchor comes on. There has been a commercial plane crash in the Hudson River by a plane departing New York City. Your heart sinks. For just a moment you wonder. Then it doesn't fit - it's USAirways, it's from LGA and it's going to Charlotte. But for a moment, just a moment you wonder.
Pilot and crew did a fantastic job. It appears to be a bird strike. They did a textbook water landing. They were the last to leave the plane. They saved everyone. No panic, just talent and calm. I hope Obama gives these pilots some type of award. They are real heroes. This is what they train for - this is what you think will never happen. They trained for years and it all came down to today in New York.
