The news media has all but proclaimed the pilot as the 2nd coming...
And to hear them spin the story you'd think that this guy was the only pilot who could have pulled this off... That is baloney... Anyone who has ever flown knows that a plane will continue to fly without power for some distance... This is why you hear of single engine planes landing on highways several time a year...

I mean, let's get real here... All these commercial pilots are trained in similarors and had this occured with a different pilot in the left seat the results would have been the same...

Yeah, I'm glad the situation was such that the plane had a glide pattern that allowed for the water landing but, geeze Loise, this guy ain't God...

Now, can I have my "I Love Lucy" reruns back???
