New York Amazes Again

You know about the plane splash that occurred yesterday in New York City. The pilot, Chesley Sullenberger III, has been hailed as a hero, and I think he is. The actions of the crew also were exemplary.

Nobody said anything about the other heroes.
The guys with the water taxis.

I cannot imagine that the guys who drive the water taxis (and yes, I know they are licensed commercial captains, not just some group of yahoos in bass boats) have every been told to expect to go to the rescue of an airplane in the Hudson River. But when the moment arrived, these guys were right there.

New Yorkers are amazing.
