17. EXAMPLE New York plane crash pilot Chesley Sullenberger hailed as hero January 16, 2009 THE pilot of the US Airways jet that crashed into icy waters off New York has been hailed as a hero after coolly overseeing the miraculous escape of 155 passengers and crew. The pilot was praised by survivors and officials for smoothly landing the jet belly-first onto the Hudson River, allowing passengers to make a successful evacuation from the stricken craft. The captain was former military fighter pilot Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, with the New York Daily News swiftly branding him “The Hero of the Hudson”. “ It would appear that the pilot did a masterful job of landing the plane in the river, and then making sure that everybody got out,” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters. “I had a long conversation with the pilot. He walked the plane twice after everybody else was off. And tried to verify that there was nobody else onboard. And assures us there were not. “The first and most important thing is, this pilot did a wonderful job, and it would appear that all roughly 155, including crew and one infant, got out safely.”
