Was it really a miracle on the Hudson?

All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, with only a few serious injuries.

Sully returned briefly to flying for US Airways several months after his famous flight, and retired from the airline business later in 2009, landing a lucrative book deal and speaking engagements.
