Remember the Miracle on the Hudson? A flock of birds knocked both engines out on an airliner, and the captain was able to glide into the Hudson River. Everyone survived.

He’s advanced aviation safety for millions of travelers worldwide. He’s been nominated for a Service to America Medal, and joins us to talk about his work.
