Everyone remembers the amazing story of the plane that went down in the Hudson River, and everyone miraculously survived the plane crash. The story became so famous that a movie was made to honor the Pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, also known as "Sully". Tom Hank's played the pilot. Many people do not know of some of the other heroes that day, who helped pull the people out quickly from the freezing Hudson River, where hypothermia could have killed them quickly. Brittany Cantanzaro, an amazing young woman at the time, was one of the brave ferry captain's who rushed to the sinking plane and helped pull out 24 people.
