Like ...did this pilot train to become a pilot or not?? These guys are PROFESSIONALS. They're supposed to know exactly how to do this . It'd be "heroic" if somebody other than the pilot landed that plane in the water. Good job, for sure, but easy there. Next thing you know they'll be giving this guy the Medal of Freedom.
"The plane miraculously stayed afloat long enough for the passengers to get off"
Ok...I've flown in airplanes like 50 times by now probably and every single time they do that stupid "what to do in case of a water landing" drill. I always assumed that planes were designed to somehow stay afloat long enough for people to evacuate but it turns out that a miracle needs to occur for you to get your ass out of that plane before it sinks to the bottom.

i just remember as a child how much fun it was to go to the airport and get on a plane and all that.
now its just like, "meh, ok, here we go again". just like getting in a car, to be honest.
and then i fly into memphis airport for a layover and i'm like, " I HATE THIS PLACE:whip::whip:"
