'Miracle On The Hudson' Pilot Has Just 3 Words For Trump's DC Crash Response
HuffPost
Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, known for the heroic landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, weighed in on the deadly midair collision.
Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the now-retired captain known for his heroic role in the “Miracle on the Hudson,” let out a deep sigh when asked Thursday about President Donald Trump’s remarks on the midair collision that left 67 people dead in Washington, D.C. this week.
“Not surprised. Disgusted,” said Sullenberger after several seconds of silence when MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell asked about the president and cautioned that he didn’t want to draw the pilot into “politics.”
The reaction from Sullenberger — who safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River in 2009, saving the lives of all 155 people aboard — comes after Trump blamed diversity hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration on the collision.
Sullenberger, in a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post encouraging voter participation in the midterm elections, noted that he was a registered Republican “for the first 85 percent of my adult life” but added that he’s “always voted as an American.”
He’d go on to endorse Joe Biden in his 2020 campaign and, in an ad with VoteVets and the anti-Trump GOP group The Lincoln Project later that year, declared that Trump “failed us so miserably” in the “highest calling of leadership.”
