I'm trying to figure it all out for myself along with everyone else.<BR/><BR/>I have seen many of the interviews with the crew (Couric, Letterman, and Larry King to be specific) and obviously followed the whole story pretty closely. No doubting that it was an incredible story and great piloting but I do think it wasn't as miraculous as some made it out to be. Nobody in that cockpit's going to do anything other than try to save everyone's life and I'd venture a guess that the river would have been just about everyone's best option. Luck did play a factor - low clouds or hitting the birds 1,000 feet lower could have made this much more catastrophic. But overall, a great job by a well-trained crew that's a testament to the training and safety we have in commercial aviation and air traffic control today.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1417693701650847558.post-20287511484384187502009-02-12T11:39:00.000-05:002009-02-12T11:39:00.000-05:00Hi Steve: Thanks for your great contributions on Z...Hi Steve: Thanks for your great contributions on Zillow Blog.
