Right, Sully.

I just, I, I can't believe this.

Lori, I'll have to stay here longer...

for the NTSB investigation,

Did I tell you that already?

And I apologize if I didn't tell you.

There's no need for you apologize,

You are right where you need to be.

I want you to know, I did the best I could.

Of course you did.

You saved everyone.

Maybe we should just talk in the morning.

I'm tired.

I'm overwhelmed by all these attentions.

I'm gonna be on TV in the Morning,

what are they gonna ask me? What am I gonna say?

Sully, do you want me to come be with you?

No, no, Lori.

Thanks, but the girls need you.

Tell them I love them.

I love you.

Get some sleep.

Yeah, maybe when I'll wake up it'll be January 14th.

Wouldn't that be good?

I love you.

Why Captain Sullenberger made that faithful

decision to turn the Hudson into a runway?

Well, only he can answer.

But we now know, it was the wrong choice.

A choice that endangered the lives of all of those on board.

So, while much of the country hails him as a hero...

this new information will certainly change everyone's

understanding of the so called Miracle on the Hudson...

Sully Sullenberger, are you a hero,

or a fraud?

Hello?

Jeff? Sorry call so late.

It's ok, There's no sleep for me, for either.

Can you believe they charge 5 dollars

for a Snickers?

They can bankrupt the Airline in about four bites.

- I just thought, maybe you may want to eh!

- Talk? Absolutely!

Let's get some air.

Great!

I will be down there in 5 minutes.

Enjoying the shakes?

The nightmares? Rapid heartbeat?

A little bit of it.

The Union is offering us Counseling.

Yeah, what are they gonna say?

You were in a plane crash and lived.

It might have lighter impact in your day to day.

I don't like not being in control of the process.

I won myself that.

Yeah! Well over in 6 months from now, we'll just be

laughing how about we got to meet David Letterman.

We're doing David Letterman?

Yeah, right after next NTSB interview.

I'm guessing David's gonna be excited before you.

This is so surreal.

I guess I'm having some trouble separating reality

from whatever the hell this is.

Yeah, this is two man freezing their asses off.

Sully,

Don't worry, you did a great thing.

It's gonna be remembered for a very long time.

Here's a funny thing:

I've delivered a million passengers

over 40 years in the air...

but in the end I'lm gonna be judged

on 208 seconds.

Come on, tomorrow it's gonna be a good day.

Computer central will prove you're right,

and you'll put your wings back on.

You wanna run?

Yeah, let's run.

F***ing cold out here.

It was obvious,

it was a critical situation...
