An Emotional Reunion

[@hwoods01]

Its called a miracle because the right person was in the right place at the right time.. thats extremely rare.

[@anonaconn]

it was the miracle that caused the plane to fail too. What a stupid thing to say.

[@hwoods01]

@@anonaconn Nope; geese.

[@anonaconn]

hwoods01 and why were the geese there, a miracle?

[@XXxXxXRevanXxXxXX]

God has a way of presenting extraordinary challenge with extraordinary people to beat it. Some things are meant to happen, other things are not.

[@ninjamilk5812]

And because there were no waves on the river on the right time

[@thatbloomer5642]

The world is a hard place to live in. But, every once in a while, we're lucky enough to have somebody like Sully around.

[@TO9729]

What an incredible and a humble individual Captain Sullenburger is. I love the fact that he looked at this event as doing his job. Much respect and love from Canada.

[@AlexZ-lc6nl]

This dude is what America is all about. Honestly.

[@58biggles]

What America used to be about

[@jennifermeehan7290]

His reaction to his wife reading that letter fromt heman talking about his 84 year old father had me in tears!! xx

[@texasraised3265]

Jennifer Meehan crybaby

[@66hoodwitch]

Me too

[@commonsense31]

He couldn’t have done anything better! He did everything 100% correct,

[@lorettamurphy7119]

SULLENBERGER...Love you and Thank you so much😍😍😍😍

[@lovepeace4635]

155 families saved by this hero. God Bless him and bless all the survivors and families. Captain Sullenberger did a great job.

[@romulanwarbird6600]

These folks are so lucky. Come close to dying only to live their best life ever because of the near death experience. I bet most of the s;urvivors are making the most of their second chance.

[@kimjackson3391]

What a legend ❤️ who else has tears in their eyes now.?? ❤️ Love from England 🇬🇧 xxx

[@ppipowerclass]

This guy is so humble, collected, intelligent, professional. The world needs more men like him.. And he IS the definition of a REAL man.

[@radhikaminhas5754]

Your entire demeanour as well as your calm presence of mind saved 155 lives. Salute to you Captain. May your tribe increase.

[@angelafalsetta4309]

I have never been prouder than anyone in my life than I was...am... and always will be... of Captain Sullenberger!! No one else comes close! And I wasn't on the plane! This Blessed and Exceptional...Outstanding MAN! Full of Pure Love!

[@mikeh.753]

I can't say I've ever seen a more humble man than this pilot. He is a true hero and he shares it with all the other people involved in this horrific tale that ended so we'll. Good job Sully.

[@poohspaws8976]

Years later: forever respected!!! This man is outwardly the most calm and collected person, the only kind you would want in this type of an emergency. For this incredibly skilled person and absolute hero to have any kind of doubt or any kind of guilt for not doing something better is breaking my heart. He did everything any person would want him to do: stay calm, laser-focused, collected and get the job done to land that sucker and not have any casualties. His mind should forever be at peace with this heroic action. I am glad that he understand why people are calling him a hero. The fact that he is humble about that well-deserved title, makes him even more deserving of it. Captain: I salute you.

[@celinewagner1849]

When ever I fly I always tell the pilots thank you for getting me home safely I hope it means something to them God bless

[@TherymasterWidnes]

Humble as hell. Top bloke

[@UwU-lo4dv]

I'm not crying, you're crying!

[@charleencarl639]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@barshalidey7326]

😭😭😭 yeah

[@gregoriusrex1855]

😭😭

[@AbbaJoy1]

I saw the movie yesterday. One thing (of many) that impressed me was how quickly responders showed up, Coast Guard, NYPD in helicopters, Red Cross with blankets. Then when he was told he was the only one who could have saved them, he immediately disagreed, saying the flight crew and rescuers were necessary, and the lives wouldn't have been saved without them.

[@nancyjanzen5676]

Remember those same boat crews evacuated more people from Manhatten then at Dunkirk in about 90 minutes on 9/11

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Proof that real heroes dont throw a ball or hit at one or play an instrument or vocalize or star in movies. A true hero like Capt. Sully, is one who makes critical decisions to save the lives of many and then carries those decisions out to perfection when the odds do not look favorable. Although he may not like the label "Hero", he is definitely the epitome of a real one. Bless you Sir and your courageous crew.

[@kristinecanonizado217]

i cant stop myselfr from crying.its heart touching..

[@Wampor]

me too, the better side of the world

[@nighthaste4311]

All of us I think

[@ChadHo-m2j]

Hero is an understatement when it comes to Cpt Sully.

[@dghhambo]

All most 10 years later and i still get chills when i watch this incredible story.

[@VegasBob4prez]

This man and his crew are just wonderful human beings. Bless them all and FINALLY some good news in this weary world...

[@anneheuser]

this man is who you call a hero, very emotional reunion, it makes a change to see someone trying to save lives rather than killing them

[@bonaom]

He and co pilot have done everthing right in most fatal circumstances. That is a miracle. He should be proud of himself always!

[@dionlindsay2]

I must have watched this a dozen times. And I still tear up. Now that I can stand a bit farther back, I realise how wonderfully this film was put together. Those 60 minutes people were on top of their exceptional game!

[@pokesomi]

I still hits me hard that the entire flight was saved. Thank you Capt., First Officer. You have earned your retirement. Thank you.

[@SoMajorx]

I couldn’t imagine!!! Captain Sullenberger you are truly a hero!

[@Teh_Random_Canadian]

He is such a humble well spoken individual. True hero even though he would never call himself one.

[@ellygirl84]

Who is cutting all those onions in my eyes?!? It takes such an awesome human being to accomplish such an act of courage and executing his job so professionnally and still being this humble about what he was able to accomplish at that very critical moment! Such an humble man with the purest soul ever! A true legend and a role model for everyone! Much love from Canada!

[@johnleeson6946]

The last comment by Sully was so poignant. What I took from that was him implying that the training those pilots went through was so intense that any other captain of a jet would have done the same thing in that situation. I was on a submarine in the '80s and we knew we had a trained crew that everybody knew their jobs and those of others. When I hit the rack, I slept well knowing that those on-watch would do their duty. Sully was one of those guys who the passengers knew he would do what he could to save them. Bravo Zulu!

[@dionlindsay2]

Amazing last few words "people want to feel hopeful again...and if I can help in that way I will". This in a matter of fact way from a man who already did so much. It's amazing. Of course a lot of it comes from the man he is, but maybe some too from the sense that when he landed the plane he started something that has a lot of momentum and that it's less stress for him to go with it than it would be to say back stage "listen guys, let us off the hook on this one". A really brave and committed man.

[@randomplantsandstuff]

Such a down to earth person (no pun intended). They were so lucky to have him as a captain. And not only him but the whole crew (cabin crew included) and also the ATC who reacted so professionally and saved so many lives. This could have easily have turned out much worse. In fact it still is mind-boggling to me that nobody died in this tragedy.

[@jenflights]

Thank you US Airways for this beautiful gathering to celebrate life. The moment @ 1:21 on this reunion video is absolutely precious. A three year old boy of a passenger says thank you. These are the moments in aviation that we all are proud of and we all will remember. Air travel today is difficult for everyone, including airline employees, passengers & everyone in the professional aviation support industry. I am so thankful for this celebration, for Sully, Jeff, and the excellent crew. " J "

[@AppaloosaDreams]

Just saw the movie, "Sully" last night; it was awesome! All involved that day demonstrated great humility, skill and courage. Their feat that day was a gift and inspiration for all the rest of us.

[@MisterBinx]

I always watch this video from time to time. It's just so cool. This guy is a real life hero. Not some bs from a comic book. He really saved so many lives. So many families affected by what he and his crew did.

[@flightlab6229]

A lot of respect for his excellency Capt. Sully and his team. He deserve respect. He's the hero of civil aviation. And people will remember his contribution till the last day of doomsday. Every pilot of the world should be like Capt. Sully. He's not only the hero of United States but the hero of every human around the globe who loves humanity. A lot of respect for Capt and his team and every one on board that flight Huge respect from his fan from Pakistan

[@Mike12522]

If this doesn't swell you up with emotions, nothing will. America NEEDS events like this, to make us realize life is worth living, and people can be good.

[@dionlindsay2]

I think Sully is a double hero. Not only did he land the plane and make sure everyone was safe, he continued to allow people to use him as a figurehead for the good feelings the USA needed. It's the way he says after all he's done "And if I can help in that way I will". Blimey. Not just brave but strong in his mind and in his emotions, and in control.

[@avalaxton634]

Whenever I fly again I want this man as my pilot!!

[@Locker146]

+Gracie newsome Well, he has since retired.

[@AH-be6bu]

Sully's co-pilot, Jeff Skiles, is still in active service though, so you could get him!

[@nadienecouragewithin1617]

Gracie newsome me too me too

[@sheilamarielpn]

Wow! He's so humble. What a miracle! Kudo to Captain Sully and the entire flight crew

[@renegade1644]

I was a cop for 23 years, and I dealt with some of the strongest, most courageous. and selfless people on earth. I went through hell, arm and arm with them, but it does not compare to the strength and courage displayed during this terrifying, life altering nightmare. I consider myself a pretty good person, but I couldn't hold a candle to the crew and passengers of Cactus 1549 on that freezing cold horrific day. I choke back tears, every time I watch these videos. on a lighter note, did anyone tell Sully that he was not ALLOWED TO PARK THERE LOL!!! And don't even try to convince me that this was a plane CRASH, IT WAS A PICTURE PERFECT LANDING!!!! just so happened that it was a very WET RUNWAY LOL!!Sully=155 Satan=0!!!! GREAT job done by EVERYONE.

[@theippster8891]

renegade1644 Being a police officer is dangerous heroic work. People don't call the police b/c they are having a great day they call b/c they are in some sort of danger and you guys are the first ones in time and time again. That's brave af. Thank you for your service.

[@bubbajohn8131]

I was a full time fireman for 31 years....well said renegade1644.

[@theippster8891]

Bubba John Honestly, I think this applies to all first responders. These jobs are all physically, mentally and emotionally intense, so thank you too John!

[@bubbajohn8131]

Thanks The ippster. That’s kind of you. John from the 🇬🇧

[@MrAMYJACK]

Here in Australia we have a term " Cops Are Tops " that I believe in 100% my Stepson is a Cop and I know what he has seen and had to witness, so 1644 You light your own candle in fact 2 and I will feel it.

[@philipgraziano5577]

I am a retired Amtrak engineer, not comparing that to an airline pilot, but what he did, saving all 155 passengers was heroic! Thank you, Sully❤

[@ryanael]

I must say this man is extremely articulate ! I am so amazed and humbled by his ability to speak.

[@sj460162]

I never get bored with watching videos of these amazing professionals.

[@panchovilla3762]

So calm and collected, I wish all airline pilots are like that. God bless you Sully..

[@rachelsaleem13]

Heroes like him belongs to the whole world. I’m crying watching this. Salute Captain

[@blackghost10sg]

sully is a natural leader. make people the feeling that he can control anything, i mean anything. great man

[@bladimerrodriguez8425]

I saw this on Tiktok, but this miracle and professional skills. Salute to the crew, staff and most especially to the pilot.

[@nikiahu4740]

Wow! Go Captain Sully what a humble man 👍🥰 & beautiful family.

[@petermitchelmore2592]

It's not just what he did that day, it is also the remarkable modesty that is highly impressive.

[@georgemaherjr2290]

Ok, this made me cry. He’s a hero. The entire crew is. Even the passengers are. They ALL survived it. ❤️🙌

[@MsGlamorgirl]

Everyone aboard that flight has the right to be thankful to God for allowing them to have a brave, smart and dedicated Pilot. I'm sure Captain Sullenbergers' faith in God will continue to guide him throughout any situation that may come in his life. God Bless you Captain and if I get nerve enough to ride an airplane, I would want to be on your flight!

[@gorillachilla]

Wish all Americans was honest and truthful like this hero

[@flashpatil]

This world exist because of brave people like you. it is too much appreciated. all the world including me thanks for saving lives!!

[@UseADamnCoaster]

I don't believe in miracles. This was just a highly skilled individual utilizing that skill to save lives in a desperate situation. Whether or not you believe this was a "miracle", this guy is a hero.

[@robertvantine2810]

When I was at my last job, I kinda wished Capt Sullenberger had come in, so I could have bought his meal for him. I would have gladly done so. The right place at the right time.

[@juliagrund2852]

A true hero and so humble! What an amazing man

[@Irishgirl7]

Isn’t he a lovely kind humble man. And of course a skilled pilot.

[@lauranewman7734]

Humanity at its finest !! God bless !🙏❤️🙏

[@taysirk]

Captain, you deserve all the respect in the world. God bless You!

[@Avcneto]

I cried watching this video. I watched from Brasil the amazing landing in the Hudson River. Sorry Captain if my english is not good. But my feelings, are true, to my dear hero, Captain Sullenberger.

[@111111111Tiger]

Sully - A great example of a human being that others can learn from... Do the best you can do and remember it is always good enough. He was good enough and struggles to be at peace with it.

[@PremJay]

He is a wonderful man. Someone to look up to and learn from. I like him very much.

[@B.Wayne1939]

What a Humble Man 🇺🇸🫡🇦🇺 Thank you Captain Sullenburger

[@awahid100]

Definitely the right man for the job! What an awesome and humble gentleman. A salute to you and your crew Captain. Loved the film but found myself loving these real life interviews even more.

[@pilippepine3299]

Simple men,real men,he went to work like every morning except that day he became a hero...! I deeply admire and respect simple real men..!!!!!!!

[@pds1216x]

How can anyone in their right mind dislike this video showcasing one very brave and noble man.

[@azeljoyportugues2580]

He is just really humble, this is the second video of him I am watching right now after I watched the movie Sully last night. It just made me cry again, just like the movie and his other interviews 😭😭. May God bless this man and his family. Life is beautiful if you know where to look at❤️.Be human people

[@sandybennett541]

Level headed calmness, stored up wisdom, resourceful experience are a few of the ingredients of this humble hero. God Blessed Sully that day and others in so many ways.

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Would pay extra for him on all my flights haha Flying Anxiety GONE

[@paulmoore4223]

hmm, a simply phenomenal piece of professional work on the day under the highest possible pressure. Personally, what impresses me the most is the way this gentleman has dealt with the emotional aftermath which he and his crew were not trained for. What a wonderful group of human beings, all 155 of them. Great respect. Sully, you sir, are inspirational on many levels.

[@moviepotter]

I remember watching it all on TV and it was a shock, I was waiting for the plane to come apart in the Hudson river. And he landed it so great like on a runway. The man is a hero still to this day and if I ever fly any place ever I want him as the pilot.

[@mr_786_xcx2]

This Pilot and his crew deserve all the plaudits. Without his quick thinking so many lives would have been killed. A true hero.

[@winstondrakes3843]

Captain Sullenberger, you are a Gift from God and a true American Hero. May God continue to Bless you and your family, the passengers and crew on that eventful flight and the United States of America.

[@kingarklingar]

He has the best answers. Wow.

[@TerryWilsonModels]

After being in the military and serving on a flight crew for 4 years of my service, what he says at 4:36 is a common fear that all the pilots i have flown with have. "Did I do everything?" I cannot imagine that feeling all the time... he is an incredible guy...

[@retrocny5625]

Jesus this makes me tear up a little bit. I never saw this reunion until now. This is as real as it gets. Well done, Sully. A great American.

[@santiagomacahilas2346]

That flight crew of five are truly hero's....and Sully with those skills of landing that plane and keeping itintact what a heck of job they did

[@dianeschneider7340]

I watched Sully for the second time tonight and I loved it. I have to work.tomorrow otherwise I'd watch it again lol. I had to look up this great story to get more information and I think Sully is a true hero. I loved superheroes as a kid and so when there is a true life hero it really makes me feel that there is hope in the world. Captain sully did an amazing job and.i love how he was modest and gave credit that was due to the first responders. Very touching and amazing story. I remember watching the news when this happened but now seeing the movie makes it so amazing. Thank you captain sully.

[@MrKabDrivr]

What a great, great human being! You're the epitome of hero, Captain!

One man in control, the other helping him as best as he can, the crew calmly trying to calm the passengers and the passengers praying for a miracle. Who says God don't answer prayers??
