US Air Miracle of FLight 1549

I was landing at Newark from Los Angeles at precisely the time that US Air flight 1549 took off from Laguardia. You see, I am a million miler on one airline and platinum on another. When I got into my car, I found out that a plane had gone down into the Hudson with 150 people aboard. It was like a punch in the stomach, every frequent flier's worst nightmare, and I said a prayer. By the time I got home 45 minutes later, I knew that every single passenger and crew member made it off that plane and were safe. Unbelievable. A miracle. But even with miracles, God needs held. And in this time and place he got it.

The pilot that landed that plane and waited until every single person was rescued is named Chelsey B Sullenberger III. And he is my hero.
