1. And now Sully does commercials for St. Jude's Hospital, saying he thinks sick kids are real heroes.
Thank you, Sully, for not only your cool head in time of crisis, but your humility about what you did and your willingness to use your newfound celebrity to help others.

2. I loves me some Sully!
I am terrified of flying, but from now on (if I ever fly again) I will imagine Captain Sully at the controls, and it will help calm me down.

3. Did anyone see the special on TLC about the flight? I think it was on last weekend.
He really seems like a nice, calm guy. His family seemed very moved and surprised by how many people took to the story of what happened.

6. When you look up hero in the dictionary it should show a picture of him
and use this incident as an example of why he is a real true to life hero.

7. Our head of Human Resources
was on that plane. I sent him an email this morning (not that he needed reminding) that Sully decided to give a planeful of people a unique view of the city skyline. Sully will always be a hero in NY.
