I just heard the recording on the news, between Captain Sullenberger of US Airways and the Air Traffic Controller who was trying to guide him back to an airport for an emergency landing.
Both men should get lots and lots of credit. The air traffic controller should be called a hero, also. He was so calm and collected. His head was "in the game" and he was communicating clearly with the pilot and coordinating an emergency landing either in New Jersey or in New York.
I heard the recording, and I just got goosebumps. The air traffic controller wasted no time calling for help from NYPD, New Jersey Port Authority, etc. He is also a hero, as far as I'm concerned.
