Yesterday an airplane crash landed on the Hudson river in New York. Luckily, all the passengers made it safe and sound. The pilot,Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III, a Purdue University grad with a Masters in Psychology and an owner of a security consulting firm, has been praised for his skills and ability.When I used to travel a lot, I would always choose exit rows. Even though I carefully studied the procedure to exit the plane, I always thought that if something happened, I would probably die and there would not be a chance to escape the plane alive. But, apparently, it is sometimes possible to survive.

After 9/11, the Autonomous Republic of New York is truly ready for anything.
