Man, those people were SOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!


That pilot should be given free hookers and blow for his crash landing skills... I can't believe that no one was killed... Even the infant onboard was unhurt! Worst injuries were hypothermia and related injuries. I would have hugged and kissed the pilot after the landing.

Ah, this is the reason he's so damn bad ***:

Past * Fighter Pilot/Captain at United States Air Force



[Iceman] You can be my wingman any time[/Iceman]



Very impressive stats on this guy, I hope he gets some award for his bravery and skills under that kind of pressure. I wish all pilots were as skilled as he is. Saving a couple lives is one thing... But saving EVERYONE on a large passenger plane including an infant is another thing... Bruce Lee once said:
"The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering", and this guy will def be remembered.

one of the good things about US airline pilots.

majority come from US military. and you know WE spend $1 million+ bucks to train each one of them.
