Captain ‘Sully’ on river landing, airline piloting
Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger shot to fame after safely landing a US Airways plane in the Hudson River last January. He’s written a new book about the experience, “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters,” and talks to us about what went through his head in the seconds before the emergency landing and why he’s using his new platform to advocate for other airline pilots.
