Most people when they see this book will probably think that it is only about the now famous "#MiracleOnTheHudson" airplane accident that captivated the nation in Jan. 2009. But it is actually a lot more than that. Mr. Sullenberger, with the aid of Mr. Zaslow, have written a fine autobiography about his life, the love of #flying he has had since he was a young boy, and the values and life experiences that prepared him for this one-in-a-billion emergency. As Mr. Sullenberger admits, he is just an average guy and the writing bears that out. It is simple and direct, with great emphasis put on the pressures put on #pilots both inside and outside the #cockpit. People may get emotional about the things he writes about, like his family and the other stories of passengers and other #airline accidents, but that is probably due to the subject being written about rather than the writing style itself. Really, the value of this book is in reading how average people, like Mr. Sullenberger, can rise to meet extraordinary challenges. Knowing that he can do it through #dedication and teamwork reminds us all that we can overcome our own "engines out" #crisis in our lives. Great Book.
