Just a cultural observation...

After Capt Sully Sullenberg and crew successfully saved the lives of their passengers in the Hudson River, they were hailed as national heroes with press conferences, ticker tape parades and TV appearances.

Our two CX pilots and their crew have also done an amazing job here but remain delightfully anonymous. The company doesn't talk about them, no fuss was made in the HK media and the passengers all seem satisfied from their close call because they got refunds and free tickets.

Interesting world we live in as pilots. Not actually sure which version is better...
