A Miracle In the Hudson

Just this week, a miracle happened on the Hudson. A US Airways pilot safely landed a plane on the Hudson River. The miracle part is that no pilot is ever taught to do this. And everybody survived. But help also came from nearby ferries who stopped to take aboard passengers. It all started because a few birds got caught in the engine and the pilot in his fifties managed to do the impossible: land a plane in water. Because of this valiant act, the pilot will be awarded a medal of high honor.
