About the Book

There were 155 passengers on board Flight 1549, and each presumbably thought this was the end of their lives. How did it feel to be aboard that flight as a passenger, and what has the accident done to the lives of those on board? We go right inside the fuselage as the realization dawns that something is terribly wrong. We hear the silence of no engines. We watch as the George Washington Bridge passes just 900 feet below the plane. We hear the words, ... more

      About the Book

      There were 155 passengers on board Flight 1549, and each presumbably thought this was the end of their lives. How did it feel to be aboard that flight as a passenger, and what has the accident done to the lives of those on board? We go right inside the fuselage as the realization dawns that something is terribly wrong. We hear the silence of no engines. We watch as the George Washington Bridge passes just 900 feet below the plane. We hear the words, 'brace for impact.' Then we, too, are in the Hudson, freezing water pouring in to the plane, the emergency doors opening, and the frigid air welcoming these survivors of a miracle back to life.
      We hear from mothers, daughters, sons, fathers. They include Tess Sosa, who was flying that day with her husband and two children, the only family aboard the plane, and Jay McDonald, who had recently recovered from a brain tumor once thought to have been terminal. Casey Jones, who now helps to run an organization of the survivors, actually called his daughter from the wing of the aircraft right after the ditching. She said, 'A plane crash? Daddy?' Miracle on the Hudson" "is an inspirational tale of survival--and gratitude.
