You mean most detractors don't understand the what the word Hero means. Why am I not surprised.

[–] Bubbathagut 8 years ago

Apparently people these days don't understand what a hero or heroine is.

Well a female one is called 'heroine', so I find 'typically a man' a bit superfluous/silly :P

But I agree, though. I've been in the flight 'community' for like 30 years, and what Sully did is considered one of the greatest achievements in civil aviation history.

(I haven't seen the movie yet, though, but read a lot about the incident before, so I don't know how the movie reflect the actual events yet)

What we do in life echoes in eternity Russell Crowe as General Maximus in Gladiator (2000)

The Incident itself: Excellent
The investigation afterwards: Not so much.

I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!

Its a good movie.

[–] Bubbathegut (17225) 4 years ago

Hero.

Actually, the world is about 71% water ... so closer to 3/4.

With quick thinking, this guy was able to avoid a total cataclysmic disaster. If it were any other person, just following protocol, who knows what the results might have been. If anything this movie is more proof that this guy was very much a hero.

Trying to create a funny, engaging YouTube channel. If you guys check it out, hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance.

hero bump

[–] One-Eyed_Jack 8 years ago

Sure, he's a hero, but he's a really damned boring one. Certainly not worth making a movie about. I watched the news when it happened. You can find clips of them on Youtube. That would be better than watching Clint Eastwood try to drag out this boring hero's not-so-very interesting achievement and the even less interesting aftermath.

Wow, were we watching the same movie?? I thought it was great. Eastwood took us through the whole story and while we knew the outcome, it was nevertheless stirring and compelling. He was indeed a hero, bigtime! Another bravo for Hanks.
