Now a major motion picture from Clint Eastwood, starring Tom Hanks—the inspirational autobiography by one of the most captivating American heroes of our time, Capt. ‘Sully’ Sullenberger—the pilot who miraculously landed a crippled US Airways Flight 1549 in New York’s Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 passengers and crew.
On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed a remarkable emergency landing when Captain ""Sully"" Sullenberger skillfully glided US Airways Flight 1549 onto the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 passengers and crew. His cool actions not only averted tragedy but made him a hero and an inspiration worldwide. His story is now a major motion picture from director / producer Clint Eastwood and stars Tom Hanks, Laura Linney and Aaron Eckhart.
Sully's story is one of dedication, hope, and preparedness, revealing the important lessons he learned through his life, in his military service, and in his work as an airline pilot. It reminds us all that, even in these days of conflict, tragedy and uncertainty, there are values still worth fighting for—that life's challenges can be met if we're ready for them.

That said, it was an excellent listen for me, giving me enough to understand better what happened, combined with much insightful revelation of the captain as a human person with a life and a great deal of interesting background which led him to be in that plane on the fateful day. The bare narrative is gripping, but also a bonus is that Sully himself is more insightful than I expected. One significant aspect of his life is only revealed towards the end which I won't spoil. It told me most about his motivation that day. His parents brought him up with values of public duty and service, and he himself comes over as a man who values competence and the hard work necessary to develop the skills which confer competence. He is a family man, just as keen to get home to the wife and kids as the passengers - people who have done fear of flying courses tell me that this is an emphasised aspect of flying. Don't imagine the pilot doesn't care about getting home, they say! Sully not only wants to get home but wants every single one of his passengers to do so. And I liked the way he points out that the value of the aircraft was not his main concern!
He takes the opportunity, rightly, to defend and promote the airline business and to make important points about cost-cutting and their effect on safety. Once flying became the norm, this factor devalued it in the minds of passengers, who take much for granted and think little about what it takes to get us home.
It is a little over-padded with biographical reminiscences but this did not deter me. The reader, Jeffrey Zaslow, I presume a professional reader, becomes rather sing-song and monotonous after a while, and Sully himself takes over towards the last chapters, and is in a way more listenable to for his genuineness. It was interesting how the different reading voices changed my view of Sully's character. Recommended.
