    The name of the Captain of the ferry who was the first rescuer was Vince Lombardi(!) I saw clips of the Key to the City ceremony, and an interview. Sully had liquid nitrogen, never mind ice water, running through his veins!

    I was amazed that he said he saw the boats and knew he had to put it down close to them and DID! How in the world he set that plane down without hitting one of those boats !!!! There was just so many things that could have happened that didn't... Jesus was in that cockpit, there is no doubt about that.

    I certianlly hope when he goes back home that he gets a hero's welcome! If he ever writes a book about it, I know I will get it and have to read it. I am sure that day has changed his life and the lives of everyone on board, for the rest of their lives. I am just in awe of the whole thing.

    I read online that he is having trouble sleeping.......I would imagine that he will "relive" that event for some time to come.

    What a perfect timing for us to have a hero we can look up to.
