Miracle on the Hudson, Tonight at 9PM

Have you heard? A plane crash landed in the Hudson River last week. It was really quite extraordinary. I was at work, on the 21st floor of our building on Seventh Avenue, luxuriously situated above New York Penn Station. Here, for the last month or so we’ve all been waiting to be laid off. Some sadly have been. It reminds me of a commercial I’ve seen recently, where “photos” stand crowded, waiting to be deleted. Then, poof!, one will disappear. 

I’m so happy that everyone got out relatively okay. Though doesn’t two broken legs classify one as “seriously injured”? Anyway, though, I believe that I am appropriately over the media coverage. There are frankly only so many ways to describe this five minute flight. The absolute worst was the super slow motion video of birds flying into a jet engine. I think it’s time to move on… to casting the Lifetime made for television movie. Here, I give you, the cast of Miracle on the Hudson: The Flight 1549 Story.

Captain Chelsea “Sully” Sullenberger: Lindsay Lohan

NTSB Spokeswoman Kitty Higgins: Meredith Baxter
