I disagree but I haven't read from his book. Multitasking definition may vary. When you see a person writing with one hand and using the other to also write... a rare thing but possible. Is that multitasking? In his situation though, that sure wasn't ideal. You need to focus on the essencials in any emergency situation. Actually your pre-set to act that way.

Every day, people like this man, who you will likely never see, never meet, never speak to, are protecting your life.

These people are taken for granted, and mostly invisible to the rest of us, until that fateful day when we need them the most. These people deserve your respect and appreciation, even when they are not doing something remarkable. Sully was "just another pilot" before this event occurred, and had it not occurred, none of us would know who he is or anything about his past, or how dedicated he was/is to his craft. We tend to focus on the bad people far too often and not look for the good ones. A lot of pilots drink and fly. A lot of cops do bad things on the job. Lord knows boat captains have cost lives by being negligent. But they are the exception, not the rule. Any of you who do something every day to keep others safe and take your job so seriously that you could do it blindfolded, I want you to know that not everyone takes you for granted.

However, there are many more like him all around us, it might be your grandparents, your car mechanic, someone you happen to strike an interesting conversation with at the bus stop. They have no platform, perhaps not even social media, their lives don't revolve around filming themselves dancing and getting likes. They live a life of dedication and duty with lessons worth listening to. The lesson here is, not everyone who has a platform deserves it or has something to say.

[@jippidyjappers]

Who can dislike this? A Canada goose?

There should be a statue of this guy on the Hudson shoreline.

This guy is a legend. That accident should have caused damage, but he saved the day. True hero in real life.

[@garpikemike1]

True. Ppl will be speaking for generations about the idiot who was ordering coffee instead of watching out for the huge visible flocks of Geese known to migrate that time.of yr until reaching a safe altitude.

[@kbonh22]

Not only Americans but the human race should be proud to have this man.

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

I was working that day in a company not far from the Hudson river where this happened and suddenly the radio station I was listening broke in to the news announcing that an airplane had crashed into the Hudson river, my first thought was oh my God I wonder if anyone survived! this amazing pilot literally saved all of those passengers lives as well as many others by ditching that airplane on the river!

[@SteeringWheelOperator]

What an absolutely captivating human being. I feel like I need to take a day off and just listen to anything and everything else Capt. Sully has ever said about anything.

[@jathompson37]

“Courage is contagious” 😭

[@gretahorton1045]

What a pilot of extreme concentration! He literally saved everyone’s life! No panic . Just action. Sullenberg saved all their lives! ❤🎉

[@manny9754]

Sully is a Hero he saved all those people only an experienced pilot could pull off that landing. Shame on the people who questioned his decision that day and tried to prove him wrong with a simulation. It doesn't even compare. God bless you Sully

[@ghs7714]

Also jeff played a big part. Give him some credit too

[@melodyeisenberg2789]

When you listen to "Sully" speak you realize it was more than just the experience they had clocked. Those two pilots knew the value in each other. The captain always in teacher mentor mode and respecting his co pilot because he had mentored him. Teach well, you may be saving your own life by doing so.

[@lynnmesser5353]

I love how it comforted him that the whole crew were doing as they were trained. They were all heroes.

[@zenunderground]

"When we think we are multi-tasking, what we are in fact doing is switching rapidly between tasks, not doing either of them well.." This just destroyed my daily routine.

[@ZergrushEddie]

Impressive engineering on the plane. Not because it survived the water landing but because it even managed to get airborne while carrying the captains’ massive balls

What an articulate speaker and obviously articulate thinker too. This is why this situation ended the way it did. An amazing man.

[@Wallygjs]

Forget Marvel superheroes, you are looking at a genuine 100% real one right here. I am sure he would disagree because he "was just doing his job" but we all know that level of professionalism and calmness is extremely rare. I am from the UK but I would say this guy is a US National Treasure.

[@lydiaanderson582]

@Hello Grahman how are you doing?

[@AFuller2020]

Ok, so he did his job, if it didn't work the story would have been told differently.

[@ThePrimeMinisterOfTheBlock]

[@burnzy3210]

he strikes me as an incredibly intelligent man, on a completely higher level than most people, this is what education, dedication and thus professionalism can unlock

[@HoustonSkywatch]

Perhaps; he comes across as intelligent though I don't find it all that heroic, sorry. Also, too bad they put Hanks to play him. Looks quite a bit like him only this man seems like as he said, a well read gentleman, not Hollywood scum.

[@haveaday1812]

I found myself in a life and death situation years ago while surfing on a totally normal day when a car came crashing off a cliff. It’s truly incredible how random life can be, and what it can throw at you. That day was serene and prefect, and out of nowhere I had to save someone’s life. Total carnage. One of the things I learned in the military was that when the shit hits the fan the adrenaline is pumping, and you’re in a life or death decision moment, you fall back onto your most basic level of repeated training. And that day I was almost on autopilot (no pun intended). I had been out of the Army for a decade, but all the first aid training I had leaned and used in combat came flooding back. I’m thankful I was there and was able to have that training burned into my memory. The guy is still alive today. And I’m so thankful And feel so blessed to have been able to help. I can empathize completely with the lessons Captain Sully talks about. A true Hero!

[@johnblazydichrolamllc3232]

It is comforting to know that you'll act correctly under pressure vs confused panic. Good for you doing the right things under pressure. A bad fire broke out in my shop, and to put it out required three full fire extinguishers, and the smoke was too thick to visibly aim the last one, so I instinctively dropped to ground to get a lungful of clean air, hold my breath, then shoot the last flames out. Learned that in elementary school, and it all came back

[@vedhanth7289]

@Hello Philip how are you doing?

[@corazinanunisa7049]

As a human being, you NEVER EVER wanna hear the Captain say "This is the Captain, Brace for Impact"! However as a Flight attendant, the training we receive prepares us to ACTUALLY wanna hear the Captain say "This is the Captain, Brace for Impact"! Way to Go Captain Sully!!!! 🙏🏻

[@iamme453]

At first my mind said "huh?" Then it hit me. If you hear that you know your pilot is in as much control of the situation as humanly possible and not succumbing to fear. Kudos to all serve the airline industry, yourself included.

He was a glider too and were they lucky have pilot with them skills.....They must be the coolest people on earth do that job

[@hollykiebler9502]

I can only akin this to George Washington, John Adams and the very few and rare exceptions in our history. Men like Captain "Sully" possess everything they need to succeed. Their confidence, calm, mental acuity, bravery, awareness, empathy, I could go on and on. This was a miracle indeed but it was only a miracle due to THIS man and his team. Period. Full stop. This doesn't happen by accident - this wasn't luck or some divine intervention - this was experience and the willingness to know and use every fiber of one's own being to ONLY succeed. That's the way I feel. You, Captain Sully are a true hero in every sense of the word.

[@mortengottschalck]

Being a pilot and having an experience like this must be a gift, at the end of the day. Even if it wasn't fun at all while it lasted, you are tested to the utmost of your abilities and found worthy. The amount of pride you must feel in yours skills and actions must be tremendous. Being the right person in the right time and place, getting to solve a task like this, must be a huge reward. People were injured, that's unavoidable, but noone lost their life and that is, frankly, incredible. Salute to these people.

[@MrHousetronic]

Calm, educated, intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable, skilled. Could only be a HERO.

[@shotgundiplomat2406]

Not only is he a great pilot with loads of experience, but he is also incredibly intelligent and well spoken. The level of professionalism and discipline he displays is just who he is to his core, it's not a put-on thing at all. He's so measured and concise, and hearing about his emotions on that day almost made me cry. He also refuses to take all the credit, he spent a lot of time speaking of his flight crew and his co-pilot because he knew it was a team effort. Truly a humble and remarkable man.

[@stevepearce94]
