Dude, how are you sick of it??! For anything, I would be in awe and full of relief for all the people that were on that plane. That was probably one of the most amazing job anybody could of done. I don't believe him landing a plane in the Hudson River was part of his job description. You don't naturally land a commercial plane on a river and expect this type of outcome. It could've ripped apart once it hit the water or submerged faster.

This pilot did an amazing job and he deserves all the credit the "media" is giving him. He just saved 150 people. Tell me how many people can say that?

The world cannot even quote correctly:

For the love of money is the root of all evil . . . .
I Timothy, 6:10


The world also says, "Ignorance is bliss." This is wrong.

Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.
Thomas Gray - Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College


The world further says that, "the proof is in the pudding." This is not only a misquote, it makes no sense.

All the proofe of a pudding, is in the eating.
William Camden - Remaines of a Greater Worke, Concerning Britaine


I'd ignore what the world says; it usually gets it wrong.

The woman who killed her kid in florida can't get a fair trial?

I only care about people who did NOT kill their kid getting a fair trial. If she killed her kid, what good does a fair trial do?

But seriously, I am sure she had nothing to do with it. She seems so honest.


The media is not about reporting anymore, its about entertainment. If you are not entertained, don't pay attention.

well, he's my couple pennies.....

my problem with media coverage is the way they over-play things, show us the same video's over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over......

24-hour news is a blessing and a curse.
