On Jan. 15, 2009, U.S. Airways Flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia Airport on its way to Charlotte. That was 12 years ago, hard to believe. More at www.CooperandAnthony.com

One hundred and fifty five people boarded US Airways Flight 1549 at La Guardia Airport New York on January 15th, 2009 destined for Charlotte, North Carolina. Those same one hundred and fifty five people left that aircraft in the middle of the Hudson River three and a half minutes after take off, and what transpired in between is remarkable. What is considered by many as the 'Miracle on the Hudson' is explained by my guest Emma Sophina. The only foreign national on that flight that day, Australian, Emma recalls the lifetime of memories that she lived before, during and after that day that has now made aviation history. Captain Sully Sullenberger has been applauded for what he achieved that day, in saving all of those lives, but it may also be his actions after the landing that will stay in the memories of many however.

David J. Goodwin’s book “Left Bank of the Hudson: Jersey City and the Artists of 111 1st Street” is a window into the demographic, political, and socio-economic changes experienced in Jersey City over the last 30 years. As a Jersey City resident, Goodwin applied his knowledge of the city’s rich history of political malfeasance and corruption—including how auspicious plans for a waterfront arts enclave were repeatedly bungled by a provincial-minded city administration. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, David J. Goodwin discusses “Left Bank of the Hudson” and the history of this now-defunct artists' space that inspired him to tell its tale.

Three simple words that churned up their fear that the next two minutes would be their final moments on earth and spurred their most heartfelt, spontaneous prayers. We all know about the stunning tale of survival against all odds that followed. But there is a different, more meaningful, and more timely story that has yet to be fully told. What happened to these passengers when they went home to their families, their homes, their jobs, and everything else familiar but somehow not the same? What has been the real impact, not of a disastrous crash but of a gift of a ‘new’ life? What can any of us learn from the honest and open sharing of ordinary people who came back from the brink of death? Brace for Impact answers these questions and more by taking you inside the hearts, minds, and souls of twenty-five passengers and first responders and what life is like after near death Bio       Dave Sanderson is an inspirational survivor, speaker and author. His thoughts on leadership have made him a nationally sought-out speaker. When US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson,” ditched into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be. The last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane. Despite the hazards to himself, Sanderson thought only of helping others, and emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing. In this stirring presentation, Sanderson shares the story of Flight 1549, revealing the inner strength it took to make it through the day, and how teamwork, leadership, and state management can help overcome any obstacle.
