You knew from the moment it happened that the headline on the post-rescue story was going to be "Hudson River pilot says he was just doing his job." But what if...
- Hudson River pilot: 'Jesus, that was close, thank god I'm awesome'
- Hudson River pilot thankful he happened to be sober on day of water landing
- Hudson River pilot considered 'letting God take the wheel'
- Hudson River pilot disappointed by 'ungrateful' passengers
- Hudson River pilot: 'I thought that was a runway' (courtesy M.R.)
Any other ideas for stuff Sully could have said, just for the sake of being original?
Music: "Take Me to the River"
"Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up Islam."

ReplyDelete"WTF? Why did those NY a-holes tell me to fly to Teterboro when I said we had a problem? I'm suing!"
ReplyDeleteI have no ideas to fulfill the request of the post, but I was very amused by your suggestions and those here in the comments.
