@ Owen. This is a beautiful comment which you just posted…. It shows that Sully is not one of a kind. As good as he has proven to be, you show by your speech that there are many like him ( and like you ) out there. This is reassuring for those who are still afraid to fly, and comforting for all of us , who work in the Aviation Industry. I did not see the movie yet, but I bet that it will be a feast…… In the meantime, I would like to put the following links, which somewhat shows in a very funny way the respect the two "actors " (Tom Hanks and Captain Sullenberger ) seem to have for each other.. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbULDhHWnno

Pilots who " have survived " an accident investigation would understand the stress the investigaots are putting on them. But who can blame NTSB for doing a job which has brought Commercial Aviation to the highest level of safety in the history of transportation. (Of course , they are not the only ones in the industry) Let's wait to see those pictures in there context .....

Maybe she was left in a corner, you know , those corners where nobody goes to. We should believe that she would have spoken up if she had seen somebody walking through the corner

You may be correct, but the airline selling the ticket is the one we talk about ... This is what the "common" citizen will remember. in this business , forgetting an 85 years old passenger is unforgivable..

$200.00 compensation for such a blunder?!? This company does not have much respect or its customers?

Being based in the Caribbean, I can tell you that equipment "suffers " differently when permanently exposed to warm, moist and windy environment. Excessive exposure to UV rays can reduce the lifetime of plastics, wiring insulation, plexyglass, electronics and so on...... This affects even the best equipment

Another theory , blaming pilots who cannot defend themselves.... We had a situation in France in the late 60s... The "probable "truth came out 40 years later... The caravelle Ajaccio Nice "lost" missile shot the plane. The military personal who knew about it had no choice than to shut up.... Many times , when there is "no explanation" in aircraft 'or ship) disappearance, the miltary f...... up"
