Congress to hear ditched plane's crew, controller

The miracle on the Hudson comes to the Potomac. Today, Congress will get to hear from the pilot and crew from the US Airways plane that safely landed on the river in January. With all of the recent plane crashes around the country, safety is of utmost importance for people in the sky. We should take what we can from this hearing and try to instill more precautions prior to and during time on the plane. With the airline based in Arizona, I tend to fly on their fleet a lot and for me trust in the crew helps me feel more comfortable when flying. On a side note, I also heard that the airline will stop charging for soda and water, as none of its competitors copied the unpopular strategy.
