Sully


 Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Everything is unprecedented until it happens for the first time.

  Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger, III is an American retired airline captain who also works as an aviation safety consultant. He was hailed as a national hero in the United States when he successfully executed an emergency water landing of US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River off Manhattan, New York City, after the aircraft was disabled by striking a flock of Canada geese during its initial climb out of LaGuardia Airport on January 15, 2009. All of the 155 passengers and crew aboard the aircraft survived. Tom Hanks with the help of Director/Actor Clint Eastwood brought Sullenberger's story Miracle on the Hudson to the big screen. 9 out of 10, a very compelling movie about one of the unlikeliest of heroes.
