One day, I was walking outside my high school building and observed something caught on fire inside a garbage truck. The driver parked the vehicle within a few feet of the building and dumped all the garbage on the ground in the parking area. I went around, classroom to classroom, telling everybody about the fire, and the school evacuated. A teacher later told me she didn't believe me because I was so calm.
It's one thing to jump to conclusions without hearing both sides of the story, but it's another to make false accusations and exacerbate a tragic event.
From filmmaker Clint Eastwood, I thought Sully would just be a dramatization of the "Miracle on the Hudson," but the movie goes well beyond what most people saw in the news media and delved into the investigation and hearings about the incident.
Sully is really about the ordeal Chelsey Sullenberger and his co-pilot--despite saving all 155 lives on U.S. Airways Flight 1549--had to endure with being questioned and undermined for one of the most widely known aviation incidents in history. While "Sully" may have come out as a hero, there was a lot of drama behind the scenes, and Sully tells a compelling and insightful story about the airline captain.
Oh, and that teacher who said she didn't believe me said she was sorry and gave me a hug, and the fire was eventually extinguished.
