Det Àr en fantastiskt intressant bok, dÀr flygkapten "Sully" Sullenberger beskriver sin uppvÀxt och sitt lÄnga yrkesliv som jaktpilot i U S Airforce och sedan som trafikflygare. Han beskriver detaljerat om den nödlandning han gjorde som kapten pÄ den Airbus med 155 ombord som fick motorstopp pÄ bÄda motorerna ett par minuter efter start. Det fanns ingen plats nÄgonstans i New York under honom, som man kunde landa pÄ utan att planet slogs sönder och explodera, det var ju fulltankat. SÄ han valde att landa pÄ vattnet i Hudsonfloden. Det kallas för "Miraklet pÄ Hudsonffloden, för alla överlevde, och bara nÄgra fÄ fick skador.
