Fresh Dose Of Hotness Award: Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger II - Page 2
Even New York's mayor had praise.
"It would appear that the pilot did a masterful job of landing the plane in the river and then making sure that everybody got out," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference Thursday.
"I had a long conversation with the pilot. He walked the plane twice after everybody else was off and tried to verify that there was nobody else on board — and assures us there was not."
Sullenberger's wife, Lorrie, told the New York Post on Thursday that her husband is the "consummate pilot."
"He is about performing that airplane to the exact precision to which it is made," she told the paper.
"I've said for a long time that he's a pilot's pilot. He loves the art of the airplane," she said standing with the couple's two daughters outside their Danville, California, home on Friday.
His wife forgot to mention her husband kicks serious ass, surely an oversight on her part. Passengers on board have described the landing as amazingly smooth, like "hitting a wake in a boat" and said everyone was calm and the deboarding into the frigid water was orderly and basically with incident.
How hot is Captain "Sully" for staying with his ship and making sure EVERYONE was off before leaving the sinking vessel? Yeah, way hotter than Brad Pitt and almost as hot as Viggo Mortenson.
Honestly, I am one of those white knuckled fliers who no one should sit next to during a flight. I pray to the heavens while quietly losing my crap until we land safely. Even writing about it is causing me anxiety, so let's move on.
It's been a while since we've nominated anyone for the "Fresh Dose Of Hotness" award and Captain Sullenberger wins hands down.
Thank you for excelling at your job dude. And major props for all those ferry boat captains, NY rescue folks for showing us how you handle an emergency. Just think, if everyone executed their job as well as this dude, we'd have cured cancer, achieved world peace, ended poverty and starvation and found a way to have a perfect orgasm every time. When you dream, you should dream BIG!
