Meet Chelsey B. Sullenberger III

Since everyone is talking about him, here's a bio of the pilot who safely crash landed a plane on the Hudson River. Chelsey B. Sullenberger's III, (along with his crew I'm sure) professional maneuverings saved the lives of everyone on board. It's always comforting to know great people do still exist.

Nonetheless, it's interesting to observe he's being touted a hero for merely doing his job. I'm not suggesting he doesn't deserve any honors coming his way (clearly he does), but don't they (pilots, captains etc.) go through extensive training for disastrous scenarios? In fact, as far as I can tell, everyone involved seemed extremely professional and organized.

Have we been conditioned to the point of cynicism? What do I mean? How many times have we seen stories where the concept of "women and children first" was abandoned? Does it happen so often that whenever a great individual performs their duty we are shocked? Hence, the talk of heroism.

This was one professional, talented pilot who performed with grace under pressure. We should all be glad people like him do exist.
