re: Luck is a four letter word

I think the reference to luck and the Hudson River accident was that there was no loss of life, not the amazing airmanship shown by the crew.

Any landing that doesn't quite fall into a "standard" category has the potential to cause a death just by the varying ages and abilities of the passengers on board.
