Sully: This Is Your Captain Speaking

Sully Sullenberger -- the grand master of flying planes with and without engines -- made his triumphant return completely above the Hudson this morning in NYC.

Sully
According to the New York Daily News, his flight took off at 7:55 a.m. from Charlotte, N.C. to New York City.

Everyone arrived safe and sound, as always.

Who says flying is for the birds?

3. IMO, this is the guy who deserves lots of attention, unlike the losers of the world John Edwards, Rielle Hunter, Kris Brown, Kanye etc. etc. Sully is a HERO and we need to focus more on great folks like him!

6. YEEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! I bet he broke a bit of a sweat in that cockpit though! Ditto Marni, yet we get 20 articles a day on Khlomar! And where are 'Pat' & 'Scott'(see previous Sully article)? I'm sure those two know-ti-all's have something to say

8. Actually TMZ and Candy are incorrect. He is currently in the air flying US Air 1050 Charlotte-LaGuardia before returning later today.

If TMZ thinks they landed already then they know something nobody else does.

13. ok. i get it. this guy saved some people once. good job captain. but there are police officers and fire fighters that do that EVERY FRICKIN DAY. where is there glory? there is their props? keep making a big deal out of the ONE thing this guy did instead of honoring those that do it all the time and expect no glory. this guy thinks he is a celeb now. what happens if the next fight he flies crashes? what then?
