Legendary pilot, Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his miracle landing by asking people to share their own #MiracleMoment.


Ten years ago, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia Airport and mere moments later the aircraft collided with a group of birds causing the engines to fail.

Captain Sully did not feel as though the aircraft could make it back to LaGuardia.

He was faced with the options of landing in a small, private airport in New Jersey or landing in the Hudson River.

Feeling as though the New Jersey airport was too far, Sully chose to land in the water.

The captain was able to successfully land the aircraft with no fatalities and only 5 serious injuries.

People called the incident the Miracle on the Hudson.

The flight was originally intended for Charlotte, North Carolina, and the aircraft is now on display at the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte.

To celebrate the decade anniversary of the miracle, Captain Sully asked Twitter to share their own #Miracle Moments.

His tweet refers to the Carolinas Air Museum Twitter account which went on to ask people for their #MiracleMoments on January 15th.

People everywhere are sharing their own life-altering moments to celebrate Sully's heroic landing.






Others took the opportunity to thank Sully, his flight crew and pilots everywhere.




In 2016, Sully's bravery was made into a film (Sully) starring Tom Hanks, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Newsom Offers Scathing One-Word Response To 8 Democrats Who Caved And Voted With GOP To End Shutdown

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the eight Democratic Senators who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown by advancing a spending deal that notably omits an extension of expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

Under the current agreement, the enhanced subsidies would expire, though senators would have the option to revisit the issue later in the year. Supporters of the compromise say that deferring the vote was the only viable path forward, as many Republicans refused to discuss the subsidies until the government reopened.

Trump Slammed After Seemingly Believing Patently False Post From Satirical Website About Obama

President Donald Trump was called out after he shared an article headline about former President Barack Obama—without realizing it came from a satirical news site published nearly nine months earlier.

The post came from the Dunning-Kruger Times, a satirical website, claiming that Obama is making millions in "royalties" from Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.
