hudson miracle

I'm only human, whatever people say, and the more times I read those words, the more convinced I am that I saved those lives.

The other thing I can't help thinking is: so these 155 people were what all these years of films and lifejackets and yellow extendy slides were all about? I mean, if a plane crashes, I have always reassured myself, I'm just going to die. But now this. Though, what is the cost benefit analysis on these lives saved, given the time that has gone into saving them over the years? I am willing to ignore the time spent giving and listening to safety lectures on the plane, since that time is pretty much dead, but planning for this once in a forever event? How many Westchestrians could have been saved from drowning?
