In these days of havoc it is nice to understand good things still happen on a large scale. I want to address the crash of U.S Airways Flight 1549.

Stop and think of all that happened that day.
We come from different walks of life with different spiritual backgrounds or none at all. This incident has the making of extraordinary luck or a today’s miracle.
What are the odds of this flight having this pilot with his background to manage this particular incident.
Certainly what occurred was luck at its best if that was indeed the case. To me the circumstance and timing are far to critical for this to simply be good luck.

Each of you reading this story will have to judge for yourself. It is only in the time of severe crisis the most hardened atheist or agnostic will most certainly be praying for help. I am reminded by my cousin that ANY TIME WE ASK for HELP on anything in life … on some level we are admitting there is a power bigger than ourself alone. Those intent on believing there is nothing past the here and now might want to contemplate that simple thought.

Enjoy this story and the extraordinary people involved in it … it is inspirational and worthy of thinking about.

Voice before set down:

From the time the plane set down in the Hudson it took 4 minutes for the first rescue boat to reach the downed airplanes side.
At 5 minutes the 2nd boat reached the airplane and 6 minutes for the 3rd boat.
All of this is synchronicity at its finest.
