Sullenberg who landed that plane in the middle of the Hudson River and saved everybody´s life against all odds. Who is this man? White haired, peaceful and quiet appearance. Former Air Force fighter pilot. Owns security agency in CA and has studied exptensively the psychology of crews. He had just a few minutes after a flock of birds got into both engines moments after take off and paralized them. So there you are. No time to go back and land at the airport, no engines. What do you do? You land smoothly on the Hudson river. Of course, what else? Then you take time to go twice over the cabin while freezing water is all over the plane to make sure everybody got out safely. As tradition has it, captain is the last one to abandon ship.<BR/><BR/>What made this possible? Many years of training, of course. But not too many would have pulled this out, no matter how much training. It also required total concetration in the moment; in other words mindfulness.<BR/><BR/>Here is to mindful Captain Sullengerber. I salute you today as my hero.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03301044332106404902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-7703151293922186812009-01-15T23:04:00.000-05:002009-01-15T23:04:00.000-05:00Since I've been reading your blog I've not always ...Since I've been reading your blog I've not always agreed, but this one is bullseye on mark. Evan when I disagree, I enjoy your style. Glad I found you.
