Mr Chesley Sullenberger, or “Sully” as he was known, was an airline captain (pilot) for about 30 years. In 2009, he became world-famous when he landed his aeroplane in the middle of the Hudson River in New York City. He was forced to make an emergency landing when both of the engines in his aeroplane lost power. Amazingly, all 155 people on board the A320 plane survived the landing. This incredible event became known as the ‘Miracle on the Hudson.’
You can watch a video about it here.
Although Sully must have been scared when the engines lost power, he didn’t show it. Instead, he stayed calm and saved the lives of everyone on board. What a brave man!
On my blog, I need to write a recount about a time when I (or someone else I know) did something brave. Here it is.
Hi David,
ReplyDeleteWow that's incredible! Your story is very hair raising, I didn't know that there were so many snakes in Egypt, is it common to see snakes? Are they dangerous?
What is your cousins name? They sound very brave! Are they still living in Egypt?
Great use of a picture Daniel, just remember to link where you found the image online so that other Cyber-Smart people can find it. 😎😎
keep up the wonderful work,
Gabe
