Just Amazing!

Today's crash landing of a US Airways plane into the Hudson River, is possibly one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Not live of course, but the results and the stories from passengers, are almost too much for words. The pilot, Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, is definitely the pilot I want next time I fly. Although, something tells me that this event will change not only the lives of those he saved, but his own.

The Associated Press reported that Sullenberger, 58, described himself in an online professional profile as a 29-year employee of US Airways. He started his own consulting business, Safety Reliability Methods Inc., two years ago.
I am willing to bet that phone is ringing off the hook tonight!

Nothing To See With The Climate Here

You Think You Had A Bad Day?

Try being Carlos Camejo. Not to mention his wife.

(Reuters/Yahoo) Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.
In the end, all was well. But who the hell declared him dead? And maybe they shouldn't be allowed to declare others dead.

Never Too Young In Illinois

This is funny. But what is the point if you can't own a firearm yet?

(AP/USA TODAY) The 10-month-old, whose given name is Howard David Ludwig, was issued a firearm owner's identification card after his father, Howard Ludwig, paid the $5 fee and filled out the application, not expecting to actually get one.

The card lists the baby's height (2 feet, 3 inches), weight (20 pounds) and has a scribble where the signature should be.
"Bubba, you go to the back of the line" the teacher says. "Make me" says Bubba holding his .380.
