We were talking about this in the game the other night, and I was reminded to post this 3D clip of Flight 1549 landing in the Hudson River.

I think if you look up "cool under pressure" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Captain Sullenberger illustrating the definition.

I never saw this video before. Holy lordie! How long do you think it will be before the term "pulling a Sullenberger" will hit the English language, meaning to stay calm, cool and collected in the face of great pressure and danger?

Or "Sully out," meaning to chill. :)

Heh, yeah, maybe - although people might mistake the nickname Sully for the verb sully, meaning to dirty or soil.
