This is your captain speaking
Chelsey Sullenberger was the pilot of US Airways Flight 1549 that went down in the Hudson River January 15th, 2009. Everyone lived. Everyone survived with minimal injury. Sullenberger in just a few short moments proved that not only does he possibly have the biggest pair in America, but also we common people are a bunch of smartass idiots. Everyone of us who has looked at those safety cards, and said something smug and sarcastic.
By the end of the day, he had his own Wikipedia page. And you should see his fans on Facebook all 300,000 of them.
I was thinking just now if I were him what I might say over the P.A. to the passengers on my next flight. “…We’d like to welcome you today folks, looks like we have clear skies all the way to Charlotte. Oh by the way, funny story. The last time I got behind the controls here, oh man…”
Regardless of what embellishments are in the Wikipedia page, we know one thing for sure, he has the most secure job in the nation right now.
