The miraculous flight 1549 landing in the Hudson River with no lives lost is not considered miraculous by all. Many atheist groups are trying to count the heroic Captain in their ranks. Much is being said about Sully's answer to a question posed by Katie Couric in an interview.
"Did you, at any point, pray?"
It seemed to be the only question that surprised Sullenberger, who had taken his plane from a normal take-off through a disasterous bird-strike that killed both engines to ditching in a frigid river in less than five minutes. His answer:
I would imagine somebody in the back was taking care of that for me while I was flying the airplane.

He has not professed any thanks to God for his life and the other 155 people on the plane. If he is a Christian he missed out on some great opportunity to praise God. If he is an atheist he doesn't seem to want to broadcast that. Perhaps he is not inclined to indicate his faith or lack of to the throngs of media who have been following him since this incident. He might just think it is none of our business.
What intrigues me most though is not whether or not he is a believer. I want to know how Katie Couric earns millions of dollars a year and doesn't ask this guy a follow up question.
