I just listened to the audio from that plane flight that landed in the Hudson River last week, and I must say that I am impressed with Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger. He remained cool as a fan the entire time, knowing that he couldn’t make it to an airport and he’d be forced to make a crash-landing in the river.
I cannot claim to know what pilots are taught about reacting to crisis situations like these, but it’s a safe bet that I would not have reacted in the same manner as Captain Sully. This is how the conversation would have gone:
Captain Leon: “BOTH ENGINES ARE OUT BECAUSE OF SOME BIRDS!!!” *yelling back at the plane passengers* “Alright, which one of you is back there throwing bread crumbs to pigeons?! We’re all gonna die, and it’s all because you felt like feeding some sky rats!”
Air Traffic Control: “Calm down! Calm down! Let’s try to help you make an emergency landing.”
Background Noise on Captain Leon’s Walkie-Talkie: “HEY!!! Where is the Captain going with that parachute?!” “Oh HELL NO!” “SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!”
As you can see, Captain Sully is cut from a different cloth than I am, which is a good thing for those plane crash survivors. I salute the guy for his cool under pressure.
This is how you can tell you are a true negro. in times of danger you don’t worry about nobodies safety but your own. lmao
Okay, Leon; i see you are a member of the “women, children & ME first” club (LOL!) But I agree, hats off to this guy.
As you parachute down, guess who would be hanging from your ankles….moi!!
I told somebody the other day that after the initial “Thank you Jesuses”, that I would have found myself alive like the other passengers…..knowing me, I would have then been mad as hell to lose my damn luggage with all my good shit.
I would have been claiming shit I didn’t even own….”Yes, that’s right, I had 12 pairs of Prada shoes, three Gucci purses and a 42″ flatscreen tv in my luggage.”
Note to Self: If I’m on a flight and Leon is the pilot, demand another flight! LOL
Never flying with you ever in life. F that…you could at least scope the passengers and see if there are any cute ones, you could be they superhero dammit!

LOL hot mess!! U prolly the one who starts running up and down the aisle if there is even a bump in your flight. Screaming “We all gon die!!! Repent! Repent!
*shaking head*
Just goes to show you….
Birds always get you tripped up.
