Today, we’re talking about a man who became a hero in less than four minutes—Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Just three minutes into the flight, a flock of geese struck both engines, and suddenly the plane had no power. He landed that plane safely on the Hudson River, saving all 155 people on board. It was called “The Miracle on the Hudson.” But miracles like that don’t typically just happen. They’re the result of habits built over decades.
