US Airways Pilot said "Brace for Impact"


A US Airways Airbus A340 crashed landed into the chilly waters of New York's Hudson River today -- all 150 souls on board survived the accident in what can be only be described as a miracle. In only seconds the Pilots made razor sharp decisions, managing to avoid nearby buildings and made a floating crash-landing onto the water. In minutes there were rafts, passenger ferries, and marine rescue workers on the scene rescuing passengers as they poured out of the downed plane onto the windgs and stood helpless in the middle of the Hudson.

Consider this a metaphor for the strength of the American people and the apparently hopeless economic collapse that is currently pulling the world economy under water.
The Americans have the power of perseverance. It's a 'we never give in to adversity' nation built on deep reservoirs of passion and undeniable belief in the strength of the individual and a made of steel commitment to tomorrow.

If the Americans can pull people out alive from that disaster, surely can pull out of the economic disaster.
