God Bless

God bless Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, the pilot who saved the plane load of people, today. And God bless the rescuers who quickly came to the passengers aide.

But the unsung heroes to be blessed are the engineers at Airbus who designed the plain to withstand this crash. As an engineer, I always look at the goofy cartoon drawing in the safety card in the seat back in from of me and think, "Yeah, right. A flying tube made so light so that it can fly would never withstand the forces of a 'water landing'." But the skeptic in my was proven wrong today as a plane made a picture (cartoon) perfect water landing. Great job ME's!
