Sully is one hell of a pilot. He was the perfect man for the job. I have total admiration for him. I wish there were more pilots like him.

I have always thought the word hero is over-used. If a child is drowning and the father jumps is and risks his life to save his own child that is not heroic, that is his obligation as a father. If a total stranger jumps in and saves the kid that is a hero.

A fireman that goes into a burning building looking for people to rescue is doing his job. It is a dangerous job but that is what he was hired to do. That makes me admire the courage and training of a fireman. I still don't see that as a hero because he is doing his job.
