The Binary Circumstance

I love the story of US Airways Flight 1549 because the superb performance of the crew, passengers and air traffic controllers stands in such stark contrast to the incompetence and fraud of the various businesses and governments that have done so much damage to the world’s economy and to millions of lives around the globe.

While the crew has maintained they were just doing the jobs they were trained to do, it shows how “just doing our jobs” can turn a potential tragedy into a triumph.

Check out this amazing CGI reconstruction of the flight which includes the actual conversation between Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and ATC at LaGuardia. It just gives me chills.

Thanks to CascadeFlyers.org for passing this link along.
