By now, everyone has seen the news about the miraculous plane crash in the Hudson River yesterday. When I first saw it, I just couldn't believe that no one was killed. This thing had disaster written all over it, that no one was seriously hurt is a blessing that no one can deny.

I want to celebrate the hero of this amazing event: Chesley Sullenberger. But we all can call him Sully. He's been a pilot since he could drive. And his training and experience allowed him to be in control of his emotions during the entire experience. Instead of thinking of himself, even after successfully dropping the plane on its belly into the water, he checked every seat in the plane TWICE to make sure all passengers had been evacuated.
Just take a minute to think about what you would do in that situation.
From the Wall Street Journal: "For the first time in 50 years of commercial jet flight, the pilots of US Airways Flight 1549 successfully executed one of the most technically challenging maneuvers, landing a jetliner on water without fatalities."
So in honor of this supreme act of heroism, I hereby proclaim January 15 "The Day Sully Saved New York"...eat your heart out Spiderman, Batman, Rudy G. and Bloomberg. Sully's taking over.
