Miracle on the Hudson
Miracle on the Hudson: The Extraordinary Real-Life Story Behind Flight 1549, by the Survivors | The Survivors Of Flight 1549
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
In this heart-stopping tale, the passengers of the Hudson River crash landing evoke in compelling detail the terrifying explosion as both engines were destroyed, the violent landing on the river, and the thrill of their rescue from the wings and from rafts. 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 peoples rock: Just pray. Its going to be all right. As the plane started sinking, Lucille Palmer, eighty-five, told her daughter to save herself: Just leave me! Featuring moments of chaos and stoicism, fortuitous mistakes and quick instincts, Miracle on the Hudson is the chronicle of one of the most phenomenal stories of recent years, one that could have been a nightmare and instead became a stirring narrative of heroism and hope.

A fascinating look at the crash into the Hudson from the passengers points of view

I found this so interesting and emotional. At times it really gets to you. Each passenger's story is fascinating and raw. This covers a lot bit its not too heavy on the details focuses more on the feelings. A really good read. 4*

Movie usher: "Can you open your purse?"
*opens purse to reveal non-hidden tumbler of coffee, water, candy and book* Movie usher: "Oh you're reading that? I loved that! Enjoy the movie."

Balibee146 Sorry movie usher...no...show me the search warrant lol...cool actual usher person though! 8y
LauraBeth @DeborahSmall, @Balibee146 it has never occurred to me that they aren't because I feel like I get my bag searched everywhere these days 😀 But I didn't think they would since I was sneaking in stuff... 8y
LauraBeth @BookNerdBritt, @Ashley_Nicoletto, @Wilkie, @CocoReads, @UwannaPublishme, @Ebooksandcooks, @Bette - what can I say - I like to save a buck. Or $40... 8y
Megabooks @LauraBeth I bring my own stuff in, too. They overcharge terribly! There was this one time in college that a friend and I brought a three course Greek meal into a movie. It was awesome! She had a big purse...😎 8y
LauraBeth @Ebooksandcooks 😂😂😂 that is awesome 8y
DeborahSmall When I first moved to Northern Ireland (Ireland to me) in '94 the troubles were still in full flow. Found it crazy getting my bag checked going into the mall! No more of that now. The ushers are very lax here in the cinema. Most of them are students and don't care when you bring your own snacks. Last week they caught me with coffee though and for health and safety I had to finish it before going in to theatre 8y
CocoReads @LauraBeth when I go to the regular theaters I usually sneak my own stuff in too but we've got a cheap one close by that I can go to and include my snacks in the ticket price for roughly the same price as just a ticket at the big chains 8y
LauraBeth @CocoReads I went to the dollar theater (thus why I was seeing Sully) - I should have just bought the food there - but I needed my coffee - and once a girl puts a cup of coffee in her purse - well all bets are off and other stuff is gonna go in as well 😀 8y
LauraBeth @DeborahSmall maybe I'm doing it wrong and need to go to the movies in Ireland 🇮🇪😀 8y
CocoReads 😄👍 8y
