Deserves it way more than crybaby Rapinoe.

One thing everybody can agree on.

I disagree on the simple opinion that every veteran commercial pilot would be thinking if they were caught in this situation and lived to tell the tale: they were doing what had to be done at the moment and don't want to be recognized for doing extra in their job.

This wasn't a miracle - this was a moment in time that had the pilot fall back on their training, required patience, and a calm mindset to get the job done. The miracles that deserved to truly be recognized can be found in the four Gospels of the Holy Bible. If anyone were to watch and listen to the interviews of this pilot after the incident he never thanked GOD for helping him crash land safely, which is a big indicator of his lack of faith, if he has any, and the fact that he accepted tv interviews after the successful crash landing, shows the world that he has an egotistical personality - true heroes keep their achievements hidden from the public, such as the USA's Greatest Generation's fighter pilots of World War II. Whenever they were interviewed, they never bragged about themselves, and always said that the true heroes of the second world war are those who gave their lives to defend the freedoms of the United States of America. Those who volunteer fight to protect the United States of America from outside invaders, knowing that they are leaving their families, friends, hobbies, and everything else familiar to them, without ever having any fear that they may one day have to die for all Americans - both those who love and hate the United States of America - with the hopes that someday the country they are fighting for will continue to survive for centuries after they die. The only ones that deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in my opinion, are those who are in the military of the United States of America, because they are the only real heroes, not some pilot who saved a bunch of passengers from a bird strike while doing his job.

same, I thought I was in my 20s when it happened but still just a kid lol

My daughter was a baby, months away from her 1st birthday. This took place on my birthday and it continues to Renew my Faith in Humanity. 💜

See !! 15y We are getting old !! I remember that too !! Time flies..😊😊❤

My very thought. Time really does fly. I was barely 20 when this happened. I am turning 35 this year

I was fifteen years younger 😂

The bird strike was 100 seconds after take-off. The whole flight from take-off to landing on the water was just under 4 minutes.

& so were the Ferry Crews! Their Skill prevented a Mass Casualty Event after Sully & Styles got the passengers down, and the Cabin Crew got the passengers out....

Yep and he is experienced as was his crew

@@purpleness64 - That is was he kept saying. Sulky is a whole adventure, including all of the staff aboard. They, by instinct, care for the passenger first with such sang-froid.

Wait…it’s really either, or. Either humans were heroes, or your imaginary friend helped. Also, if it was God…how often does he not prevent crashes?

God 🤣🤣 he didn't save the geese 🤣

They simply did their job and they did it very good.

Actually he was in the fiction section, always has been

@@moonshoes11 Someone like you comes along and blames God. I have dealt with YOUR type for near to 60 years. "Little children are hungry how does God allow that" likely is another retort you would have in a different context. Let me tell you friend the will of man, the failure of mans contraptions and circumstances create Hudson events. Wrong Place Wrong Time good working airplane, shred a whole flock of birds dead engines. It happened. But a good God who can move on people and intervene as we cannot explain along with a whole bunch of good human beings that display the innate goodness and Love of God sprang into action to save all those lives. You need to humble yourself, get off that "high horse" of self righteousness and ask God who HE is and will HE respond to you. Be ready cause if you ever do humble yourself that way an answer will come and you will know it. No danger though you are so jaded your pride will NOT let you. May God have mercy n your soul.

Pilots... there were two

@@erauprcwa of course 🙏

You seem to only count the hits, and never the misses.

@@christopherjames6602 Why accept what was written down a couple thousand years ago as fact? I’m quite sure…you don’t even know who wrote the gospels. And…the gospels have not one single first hand claim of anyone claiming to have witnessed a resurrected Jesus. Not one.

Thank you for your service

Me too. I was a kid when it happened and the more I learn about the details, the more I admire Sully and Stiles for the heroism.

He has given credit to his entire crew.

@@GH-oi2jf I know he has, I meant the media. I have nothing but respect for sully
