Sullenberger had less than three minutes to plan and execute the water landing hailed around the world as “the miracle on the Hudson” last winter. In a talk about work, priorities and challenges, Sully reveals how he’d spent his entire life preparing for those minutes in the cockpit of US Airways Flight 1549, when his actions would mean life or death.
