I thought that this was a very interesting program to watch.
Of course, we all know what happened whether from the cockpit voice recorded or various "experts" but it was nice to hear from Captain Sully first-hand.
He is a very composed man it seems.
Katy Couric (who I really cannot stand), asked him if he prayed during the time that was left as he glided towards the water.
"No", Sully replied. "There were people at the back of the plane who were doing that for me!"
Great response.
Again, she asked him another "tabloidy-shock-horror-type" question...
"Did you think to yourself how are we going to get ourselves out of this?"
"No," Sully replied firmly. "My initial reaction was one of disbelief. How can this be happening?"
What a wonderful answer.
The most comic insight of the night was when Sully turned to his Co-pilot Jeff Skiles after landing on the water and said, "That wasn't as bad as I thought!"
The most moving part of the program was when the crew of 1549 met up with the 155 passengers and family in CLT.
"Thank you for saving my life... "
"Thank you so much from bringing my husband home to me..."
"Thank you for not making me a widow ...for allowing my 3 year old son to have a father."
"Thank you for keeping our family altogether."
A gem - every one.
