A decade ago, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger saved 155 lives by landing US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River after a bird strike disabled both engines. The cockpit audio remains chilling, capturing Sully’s calm resolve as he declared, “We’re gonna be in the Hudson.”

The heroic landing showcased extraordinary skill and composure, turning a near-tragedy into a miraculous survival story. Today, Sully, now 67, is celebrated as a global icon, staying connected with the passengers he saved and reflecting on the teamwork that ensured every life was spared.

We’ll never forget the courage and precision that defined this incredible moment in aviation history.
