Super Bowl XLIII
Looks like NBC got their interview afterall and scooped Katie Couric in a huge way. The Crew of Flight 1549 were honored at the Super Bowl right after Faith Hill's spectacular rendition of God Bless America. Not sure they could have gotten a louder ovation - even the players were clapping and shaking their heads. They were all smiling but still humble and slightly shocked. Sullenberger has come a long way since his hometown speech were he said 73 words. He looked Californian with his silk collarless T-shit and walked like an the retired USAF he is. He stood erect honoring the flag during the National Anthem (unlike our Commander in Chief). Wonder where his wife, Lori and his was and whether all their families were there.
