They also rescued the passengers from flight 1549 in Jan. 2009. I saw the plane in the Hudson River from my office.

They don't consider themselves heroes. It's always the other guy... <br /><br />Which, of course, is the mark of a real hero.<br />Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-995709320392627592018-09-12T02:30:13.611-04:002018-09-12T02:30:13.611-04:00I didn't start working on tugs in New York unt...I didn't start working on tugs in New York until 2010. When I saw this video, I was amazed that I know most of the men who were speaking and have worked with most of them. Humble guys who you'd never guess did something extraordinary. Robin and Herb, the brothers who were featured prominently- the guy missing his front teeth and the heavyset guy, especially. I worked with them about once a week for two years. Never knew, until the video came out. It's just not spoken of. I suppose it is viewed as just having been the right thing to do. Doing the right thing and finding a quick and practical solution to mitigate hard times comes naturally to some, and not to others.Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-5361584671593097092018-09-11T15:44:05.204-04:002018-09-11T15:44:05.204-04:00Yeah.
