This is one amazing story....

I cannot listen to reports of this story without tearing up. This is truly an amazing story. The skill of this pilot...wow...to think quickly and bring that plane down, avoiding the heavily populated areas, and to keep the plane steady while doing a water landing. Truly Amazing. This story could have been so tragic. It is true, you get on and off the plane, putting your trust in the skill of the pilot. Im amazed that he went up and down the plane twice before getting off himself to make sure everyone was accounted for. The passengers sound like they were amazing too. They must have thought their time was done...who survives a plane crash??? Yet amazingly...when the plane landed..they were civil. They got the handicapped lady and the infant baby and child off the plane first, then the women. They had no idea how fast that plane was going to sink. One man said it was waist deep by the time he got off. What a scare for those passengers. I did have to chuckle at the picture of the passenger standing on the wing of the plane, carrying his briefcase!! LOL! Did he not hear the stewardess say that in the event of an emergency leave all personal belongings on the plane? Anyhow, is anyone as amazed at this story as I am? That water landing could not have been easy...one slip and the wing would have hit the water first, tearing the plane to pieces. I would like this pilot on my next flight!! What a hero!!
