A PLANE CRASH AND A LIBRARY BOOK

Want to become an instant media superstar?

Hit a dramatic home run in the World Series or score the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Airplane pilots usually don't reach this celebrity status... until January 2009 when Captain Chesley Sullenberger heroically landed a disabled jet in the Hudson River .

After all the passengers and crew left the plane, Sully inspected the plane twice to make sure no one was left behind.

Then he retrieved his flight log book.

He was the last one off the plane and the last one onto the life raft.
He forgot only one thing: his library book.

He had others things on his mind.

Then came the instant celebrity -

“Sixty Minutes,” “David Letterman,”
“Good Morning America ,” etc....

Amazingly, in the midst of this sudden stardom,
Captain Sullenberger somehow found the time to call the Danville Public Library to inform them that he lost one of their books.

True story.

Moral?

Look at Captain Sullenberger's responsibility and attention to detail.
With all that was going on in his life, he still took care of a library book.

That's a little thing.

But, this same responsibility and attention to detail helped him cradle 154 souls through a plane crash.

That's a big thing.
