Yesterday’s US Airways plane crash on the Hudson River in New York City is truly a miracle. Pilot Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III of Daniville, CA, safely landed flight 1549. Sully’s experience and training paid off more than he thought it would ever pay off. He is now considered a national hero for landing the plan safely in the water and saving 155 lives.

 From what I heard on various news providers on Clipta News, is that a bunch of ducks flew into the path of the plane and jammed both engines at once. This is considered to be a very rare occurrence. Usually, only one engine gets damaged and the other engine still allows the plane to fly and land safely on a runway. Statistically, 1 out of 10,000 planes have accidents with flying birds getting sucked into the engines of a plane (ouch!!).

In today’s rough world with bad news constantly being regurgitated by the media, it’s refreshing to actually hear some good news. A heroic act is always news worthy. I wish more people would try to do good things to become famous, rather than the crazies out there killing people to get their name in the paper.

I am sure that some producer in Hollywood will take advantage of this incident and try to monetize on it. “Miracle on the Hudson” will probably be the best fitting title for the movie. If it ever does become a movie, I probably won’t watch it. What’s the point, I already know how it ends.
