Thurs 5:00pm: Watching our coverage right now of the US Airways accident in New York.... I just heard Sen. Chuck Schumer of NY say that the pilot should be given the Congressional Medal of Honor. We can all second that emotion. What an amazing act of heroism for all of the passengers aboard that flight, and for the residents of New York City.
To see the empty shell of that plane floating down the Hudson River - intact - is a chilling, thrilling sight.
Let's take a moment to appreciate a tragedy averted, families relieved, and a capable, competent professional at work. Thank God....and Bravo.
