Sully Page #5

computer simulations, for now...

they remain confidential.

We cannot afford a leak to the press.

There's been far too much talk

on the press already.

When the complete cockpit voice recording

is compiled...

along with ATC and all onboard

transcripts combined...

we'll call you back.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Good day.

Thank you.

We're playing Pac-Man, and we were flying a plane

full of human beings.

Somehow this, that's not how I'll remember it.

It just doesn't seem right.

It's based on this is not right. Sully, you did

everything you could, that's more than enough.

Ask the passengers. Ask your wife and kids.

Ask mine.

So what was the first thing

you heard from the cockpit?

- Brace for impact, yes.

- Brace for impact.

Now, ever hear that before...

- Coming out of the cockpit?

- No, I haven't.

Ever hear that in any other aspect in your life?

Take this show away from me!

Jeff was relaxed and fine.

He should be getting over any of your request.

Are they paying you?

For all this media stuff at least?

It's no use, Lori.

No payment is necessary.

Oh, Wish the bank felt the same way.

Why? What do you mean?

Oh! It's just....

We got another notice.

About the space in View County.

Well, we'll find a tenant.

It just takes time.

Yeah, well. You've been saying that for 9 months,

Sully, it's still vacant.

The economy has to take a turn.

It just, it feels like, if we lose that space,

the next domino to fall is the house.

Lori, we're not gonna lose the house.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm anxious and I'm alone

and not enough sleep.

Yeah, I know.

Not having enough sleep around here either.

I'm sorry for adding to your stress,

but just tell me you'll be back near soon.

Well not until the NTSB is finished

with their investigation.

We need you flying.

Lori, If this goes badly, my career as a safety

expert, will end as a website and a business card.

I'm more worried about your career as a pilot.

What if I did blow this?

What are you saying?

What if I did get this wrong,

so close to the end of my career?

If I endangered the lives of those passengers.

Sully!

Watch the news!

You're a hero!

And everyone is gonna have to get used to it,

including the NTSB, babe.

First case scenario:

The NTSB lists me as the probable cause.

That's immediate retirement, no pension.

My life work gone.

Ok you're scaring me now, Sully.

What is going on?

The left engine might have still been Idle-ing...

and the AirBus simulations say I could have made it

back to LaGuardia safely.

But that doesn't make sense.

Doesn't jive with every,

everything I felt in the cockpit.

Then why did you do it, Sully?

What, land in the water! Was not the most
