RE: An article about the plane that went down on the Hudson River, January 15, 2009.
I read this article referred to about Captain Sullivan, and his co-pilot safely maneuvered the place down when a flight of geese ran into one of their engines. I made a comment below and some post several others that give pause to think and pray for the gratitude we have to live one more day with our loved ones.

I remember this incident on the news last year. The photo of the all the survivors is a reminder how precious life really is. Thank goodness for the pilots who heroically and conscientiously did their job well. So many lives were changed that day with certainty. I will look for the book compiled by those who experienced this near tragedy that could have gone badly or perhaps found no one to tell about it. They must have a greater mission to fulfill or purpose. Those people on the plane would probably never seen their fellow passengers again had this not occurred. Now their story will be an inspiration to many and as miraculous as their rescue. Good work, Mr. Sullivan and co-pilot;thank you for being prepared for the worst and giving your best.

An editorial filled with thought and understanding like those of Hy McDonald of old...*S*

Wonderful article -- this is journalism at it's best! Kudos to the Deseret News Editorial staff for reminding us all of that day when Captain Scully and his crew helped all of us to feel grateful for each other.

This is another reminder of the value of experience. This is the stuff you can't learn in a book or classroom. No one can tell you. And you sure cannot buy it. It's about having done the task successfully many times. It's about constantly learning. Never being satisfied with "well he tried, didn't he." One day something goes horribly wrong. But the experienced leader is able to change certain catastrophe into another success.
The hand of God was truly there to spare the lives on those on board and on the ground.
