Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger - a podcast by Bill Thompson

On a cold January morning in 2009, a US Airways flight left New York's LaGuardia Airport.

At the controls that morning was veteran Captain Chesley Sullenberger, whom everyone called "Sully."

Moments after takeoff, the plane ran into a flock of geese, disabling its engines.

Unable to reach any nearby airport, Sully and co-pilot Jeff Sykes safely guided the plane into the Hudson River, where it stayed afloat long enough to get every single persopn off the plane safe and alive.
