Most of that chatter was other aircraft on the same freq, would have thought he would been given a private channel, some flying though, all the crew and cabin staff deserve recognition not just sulley

I also liked the ATC correcting himself from saying the plane had lost all engines to only losing thrust from both engines :lol: that's alright then they, they can still hang there like a paper weight, just can't do what engines are good at :D

He probably had enough on without having to change frequency as well!

Liked his answer to the interviewers question: "Did you pray?"

He said "I would imagine somebody in back was taking care of that for me while I was flying the airplane." Legend.

The guy acted so calmly, he may as well have been walking his dog.

'I'm going in the Hudson' would usually result in some sort of perspiration, but this guy seems to have not even raised his blood pressure
