"Miracle on the Hudson Anniversary: PTSD and New Pilots Emerge"

Fifteen years after the "Miracle on the Hudson," where Captain Sully Sullenberger successfully landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, survivors reflect on the impact of the event on their lives. While some, like Vallie Collins, struggle with PTSD and a sense of lost identity, others, such as Clay Presley, found new purpose, with Presley even learning to fly. The incident, which occurred during a time of economic hardship in America, became a symbol of hope and resilience, with Sullenberger's heroism inspiring many. Despite the varied personal outcomes, the miraculous survival of all 155 people on board remains a testament to the potential for courage and compassion in the face of adversity.
