Someone please buy Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger of Danville, Calif - the pilot - a fuckin' beer. That man deserves it!

He did a great job. Glad everybody survived.

[Cygnus X1]

Buy him a case!

And those tug cap's deserve a share for bringing her in, too.

I would suppose the people next to the emergency doors reacted well and quickly also. Props to them as well.
I'm one of those nutjobs that tries to stay right next to the emergency exits. I'm not nervous, I'm just ready.

This face needs to be plastered in every bar and restaurant in the US.
He should never have to pay for another drink or meal.



Well done!

Hats off to the whole crew! They did a great job.

[Soap]

Damn straight bro!! Oh, and I'm sure someone said he's gettin to old to fly...think again.

Yep, you got that right.
Incredible indeed and there's just something truly wonderful about experience, without question a hero.

[phill_up]

Do you guys think he will ever fly a commercial plane again?

[Wylde06]

I think he will.

And that man deserves something.

:idea:
maybe he deserves a visit from Jenna Jameson?

So you want to punish him?

[TreeFitty]

Hell of a good job avoiding what could easily have been a terrible loss of life.

[guitarsjb]

So you want to punish him?

yeah, damn..give the guy a break. He did good

Still safer than driving... There's like 60,000 + automobile accidents a year.. how many aircraft accidents are there..

Fatal commercial aircraft accidents are around 40 per year.
General Aviation and part 135 accidents as per the FAA 325 per year.

Damn straight bro!! Oh, and I'm sure someone said he's gettin to old to fly...think again.

Actually older pilots who have been flying for many years are on the opposite side of the curve they tend to get into more accidents because of the "I've been flying this xx many years and I know what to do".

Any Pilot who executes a emergency landing deserve free beer and meals.
Alfred C. Haynes and his crew should be on that list as well.
