“When you think you only have one option in life, one way to get something done, if you’re resourceful and open up your mind, multiple pathways open up.”

Dave Sanderson was the last person off US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain "Sully" Sullenberger ditched the aircraft into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. Dave not only survived the “crash” but also started to realize that the moments that made up his life—from childhood to adulthood— prepared him for the events of that day.
