Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The remarkable true story of Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's heroic crash landing in the Hudson River, as told by the passengers who owe him their lives.   Millions watched the aftermath on television, while others witnessed the event actually happening from the windows of nearby skyscrapers. But only 155 people know firsthand what really happened on U.S. Airways Flight 1549 on January 15, 2009. Now, for the first time, the survivors detail their astounding, terrifying, and inspiring experiences on that freezing winter day in New York City. Written by two esteemed journalists, Miracle on the Hudson is the entire tale from takeoff to bird strike to touchdown to rescue, seen through the eyes and felt in the souls of those on board the fateful flight. Revealing many new and compelling details, Miracle on the Hudson dramatically evokes the explosion and "smell of burning flesh" as both engines were destroyed by geese, the violent landing on the river that felt like a "huge car wreck," the gridlock in the aisles as the plane filled swiftly with freezing water, and the thrill of the passengers' rescue from the wings and from rafts--all of it recalled by the "cross section of America" on board. Jay McDonald, a thirty-nine-year-old software developer, had survived brain-tumor surgery just two years earlier and now faced the unimaginable. Tracey Wolsko, a nervous flier, suddenly became other people's rock: "Just pray. It's going to be all right." Jim Whitaker, a construction executive, reassured a nervous mother of two young children on board, only later admitting, "I was pathologically lying the whole time." As the plane started sinking, Lucille Palmer, eighty-five, told her daughter to save herself: "Just leave me!" Featuring much more than what the media reported--moments of chaos in addition to stoicism and common sense, and the fortuitous mistakes and quick instincts that saved lives that otherwise would have been lost--Miracle on the Hudson is the chronicle of one of the most phenomenal feel-good stories of recent years, one that could have been a nightmare and instead became a stirring narrative of heroism and hope for our times.…

Francis was chosen for this purpose, and, with a party of priests, set sail in the year 1589. After leaving Panama the ship was overtaken by a storm, and being thought no longer safe was abandoned by the crew; but Francis, taking pity on the unhappy creatures left behind, many of whom were blacks and unbaptised, resolved to share their fate. For some days the ship bore up; but after a time a portion was split away, the hinder portion sinking, and the fore part, upon which the Saint was found, still remained afloat, until a boat came to their relief and conveyed the remaining portion of its unhappy crew to shore. Here their troubles were far from being at an end. It was a barren coast upon which they were landed, and it needed all the Saint's patience and skill to prevent fierce quarrels over the scanty food which was found, and often he appeased the hunger of the famishing wretches by a miraculous drawing of fish to shore. A crew was sent back to Panama in a small boat, and after sixty days a ship returned and conveyed them back to safety. St. Francis then began missionary life in earnest. Peru and Tucuman were the principal scenes of his labour; but the last five years he preached chiefly at Lima"--Legends of the Blessed Sacrament ; "pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; crease on cover ; slight wear, else VG.
