Such a great meeting of great people, the pilot of course, but also the ferry captains who immediately brought their boats along side, the police boats, etc. The fact that he had an absolutely smooth body of water to land on--apparently earlier it had been choppy, clear weather. The captain even went up and down the aisle TWICE to make sure everyone was off and was the last one off. What a display of calm courage, just blows a person away. An the passengers, no reports of bad behavior. All these people and factors in one place--just amazing.
The pilot ... Well I think we have Man of the Year for 2009
As was stated before,, All flight crew,,, AND passengers deserve it,, "women and children first" I never thought anyone would think like that anymore!! I guess this world still has some hope.

I have hesitated in posting here because it just literally gives me goosebumps. What are the odds here? I mean that plan could have easily been ripped to shreds. There was a higher person in charge here on this accident. What if he had not been over a body of water? What if the waterways were congested with water craft? There are alot of "what if's", but I do know one thing, God takes care of us.
