A View From the Bridge

The downstream view from my daily walk across the George Washington Bridge evokes the horrific memory of 9/11.

That memory is now balanced by the wondrous hope created by Captain Sully Sullenberger.

I was on the bridge as Flight 1549 glided 500 feet above me last month on its way to water landing. 

The engines had shut down.  

There was no noise whatsoever.

I neither heard nor saw a thing. 

Thank goodness.
