It could have been much worse and as you said, the pilot and crew did a splendid job. <BR/><BR/>I think it's extremely sad that in a situation and outcome like this people are suing. I mean $5,000 for a broken nose? Come on people. You already received $5,000 for your personal belongings which I'm sure was more Jared Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519459868892283397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295521.post-61674965526149668242009-01-28T14:00:00.000-06:002009-01-28T14:00:00.000-06:00Thanks a lot...

We look at every little event and proclaim that so-and-so is a hero. You're a hero, I'm a hero, hell everygoddambody is a hero! I'm telling ya... Ahh, it's a subject for a whole 'nother post.<BR/> <BR/>But like you say, Hal, it's not like Sully doesn't deserve the accolades.
