Sully demonstrated the determination, willingness, and ability to apply his considerable skill and training under extreme pressure, with courage, grace, and hope, engendering these qualities in those around him, to succeed where others would probably have failed He behaved as we would all wish to – in the finest character of humanity, and with no apparent thought for headlines. That’s not luck. It shouldn’t be trivialized as such on the basis of fate.
