Has the pilot done an interview yet?


Gag order on the entire crew imposed by the FAA.
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

was wondering why we haven't heard from him yet
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

1st interview is supposed to be on Good Morning America (or one of those shows) Monday morning.

I knew the landing and the entire situation was amazing but this definitely puts you there. Good on Cpt Sully.

That's a cool vid. Explains it as only seeing a thing happen can. [thumbsup]

Yup. It's amazing to listen to his voice and what he's choosing to focus on as the situation goes downhill -- once it's no longer an option to divert to another airport, he stops talking to the tower and works with his first officer on putting the plane in the water.

And I stifled a nervous laugh when the subtitles that showed the in-cabin audio, seconds before impact, showed him asking his first officer "Any ideas?" and the reply "Actually, no."

The pilot's first job is always "just fly the airplane" especially in an emergency. Pilot first, radio operator second. Awesome job by this guy and FO Skiles.
