almost looks like they are walking on water outside the plane. The reports that I heard were that most got on the ferry w/o even getting wet.

Let there be no doubt this pilot is a hero.

First off, he is a former US Fighter Pilot with the Air Force.
Next, he landed that plane safely with no lives lost.
Lastly, he walkedd the plane TWO times, back and forth, to make sure no one was left onboard and was the last to leave the plane.
That man is amazing!

I saw them a while ago on that VH1 show where they try to get bands together again for one show but the two brothers that found this group despise each other. Good thing.
I'm glad you shared the video

The whole thing is very scary, and hits home a bit...

I flew US Airways out of Charlotte (the destination of the crashed plane) just TODAY

Mad props due to the pilot for the safest landing possible!
