Miracle On The Hudson


The Really: Fox's Neil Cavuto says Canadian geese have an attitude.

Pilot of US Airways plane forced to ditch in Hudson after striking a flock of Canadian geese will be hailed as a hero for his water landing on the cold, very cold Hudson River today.

US Airways news conference: Everyone is off the plane and accounted for. "Please don't speculate," the spokesman said.

If you would like to know how really, really special this water landing was, please read the best writer on pilots and airlines working today: Patrick Smith of Salon. Yes, he is a commercial airline pilot who flies regularly.

By now everybody knows his name: Chesley (Sully) Sullenberger III. One-time USAF Fighter Pilot and Captain of US Airways 1549.
