Sully just tossed his hands up in the air and let the lord land the plane in the middle of the Hudson River. The well trained Crew just sat and hoped for the best. I have NOTHING against Miracles , and as a matter of fact, believe in them , whole heatedly. BUT, to simply say " it was a miracle" diminishes the HUGE talent that these brave people have and used.
