@filmsofun: Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger was an American pilot who became internationally known on January 15, 2009, when US Airways Flight 1549 struck a flock of geese shortly after takeoff, causing both engines to fail. Sullenberger and his co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles, successfully landed the Airbus A320 on New York’s Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 people on board. The remarkable incident turned Sullenberger into a symbol of calmness, skill, and courage, and the media soon called him the “Miracle on the Hudson” pilot. The story was later portrayed in the 2016 film Sully, starring Tom Hanks. Sullenberger retired from commercial flying in 2010 and later worked in aviation safety and education. #chesleysullenberger #sully #tomhanks
