CNN has compiled several videos that captured US Air flight 1549 as it was being set down on the Hudson River by Captain Chesley Sullenberger. Watching it confirms what so many witnesses said, which was that the descent and landing were so perfect that if you couldn't see the river, you would have thought the plane was landing on a runway. No matter how many times I watch this video, I'm still in awe of Sully's skill and bravery.

Have they blamed Bush yet, or, maybe they credited Fauxbama that no one died.

I blame Bush. After next Tuesday The Messiah's magical unicorns will be on duty and no airplanes will ever crash.

That guy should be flying air force one. One heck of a pilot. That was as smooth as you get.
