What's this?

Funny you should say that


I have a friend who is a commercial pilot and shortly after the event I asked him about it.
And he said that we are all trained to do it and he hoped that had he been in the same situation that he would have been able to trust the training . Bottom line he said is what made Sully a hero was not any improvising but coolness and faith to execute what he had been trained.
