The story of Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger,
his crew, and US Airways Flight 1549--the flight Capt. Sullenger landed on the
Hudson River in 2009, shortly after taking off from LaGuardia Airport in New York--remains
an extraordinary one.
Here is a very fine and very moving piece about Flight 1549,
from CBS's 60 Minutes, reported by Katie Couric in 2009. She interviewed the heroes of the flight--Capt. Sullenberger, and his crew. The program
also brought together Capt. Sullenberger, the crew, and some of the plane's passengers, in
Charlotte, North Carolina. The plane was headed for Charlotte, when it was
forced to land on the Hudson.
The 60 Minutes story is taken from YouTube, and is
in three parts.
