In People Magazine there is a very inspirational and motivating article about a man, Capt. Chelsley "Sully" Sullenberger III. He was the captain of US Airways Flight 1549 that phenomenally landed on the Hudson River. All 155 passengers and crew got out of the plane alive. There was a passenger Steve O'Brien who recalls seeing Sullenberger calm and in control in a raft and knew that he was a rescuer. When things went bad he knew what to do and handled the situation very well because he had hope and knew that mainly without his help and the crews that they could have lost passengers. But Sullenberger kept strong and fought his best to keep each and every person alive. All the passengers were relying on him to survive and needed his passion, hope, and strength to get through this horrific accident. Sullenberger was a hero to these people, he saved their lives and became a huge icon and many people respected him for what he did. He was invited to the Super Bowl in Tampa, and he also was invited to visit Washington for the Inauguration, where he met Barack Obama. Although there were a few people upset about the whole situation Sullenbereger kept his head strong and knew that he did the best he could do, but he still does look back at the situation to see if there was something he could have done better.
On the positive side this accident had changed many peoples lives and passengers had incredible things to say about this day and how Sullenberger changed their lives. Captain Sullenberger is still overwhelmed by the situation but still wants to be a pilot. Being a pilot was his dream since he was five years old. Saving 155 peoples lives is a big deal, with all the hope and devotion Sullenberger had, he has become one respected inspirational man.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20258824,00.html
