A Pretty Neat Plane Crash
JANUARY 19, 2009Eazibee, HappyNews ColumnistToday saw one of the happiest news stories of the year so far (though we are, of course, only 15 days into 2009!), as reported here by MSNBC.
As birds hit a plane in New York and brought it down, the plane's crew avoided catastrophe by landing skillfully on the Hudson River and then rapidly evacuating all passengers with the help of local emergency services. Some good luck, for sure, but a whole lot of judgement too - and proof that practice does indeed make perfect, as the pilot's training and experience, in particular, paid off handsomely.
Could it be that the best way to foster and reward hope is through old-fashioned preparation?
