…Sullenberger as a hero, but he was simply a pilot doing his job, like all the others.

Yeah, but he made a split second decision that he couldn’t make Teterboro and to ditch in the Hudson.

And I don’t know how many commercial pilots would have or could have been that heads up in the same situation.

The media, of course, hammers and exaggerates and distorts many stories they get ahold of these days, ad nauseam.
