15 gennaio 2009. Il volo nazionale 1549, appena decollato dall'aeroporto LaGuardia di New York, dopo soli sei minuti si scontra con uno stormo di oche selvatiche che danneggia entrambi i motori dell'Airbus A320. A bordo ci sono 150 passeggeri e cinque membri dell'equipaggio. Il Comandante Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger, riscontrata la perdita di potenza in entrambi i motori, decide di effettuare un ammaraggio d'emergenza sul fiume Hudson, ad appena un chilometro e mezzo di distanza da Times Square. Le immagini di quella manovra spettacolare e del successivo salvataggio fanno immediatamente il giro del mondo. Ripercorrendo le tappe salienti della propria vita, da quando imparò a volare, solcando i cieli del Texas a bordo di un monomotore agricolo, fino agli anni nell'Aeronautica militare ai comandi dei potenti F-4 Phantom e al successivo passaggio all'aviazione civile, Sully racconta le esperienze che gli hanno permesso di mantenere la lucidità necessaria per affrontare quei momenti drammatici. Perché a dargli il coraggio di prendere quella decisione impossibile, sostiene, sono state le convinzioni e le virtù che ha maturato nel corso di tutta la vita, dalla disciplina al senso del dovere, dalla precisione al rispetto per gli altri, dalla fiducia in se stessi alla capacità di assumersi la responsabilità di coloro che ci sono stati affidati. Una testimonianza di vita che ha ispirato l'omonimo film diretto da Clint Eastwood e interpretato da Tom Hanks nei panni del comandante Sully.

The Magic Room

Thousands of women have stepped inside Becker's Bridal in Fowler, Michigan, to try on their dream dresses in the Magic Room, a special space with soft lighting, a circular pedestal, and mirrors that carry a bride's reflections into infinity. The women bring with them their most precious expectations about romance, love, fidelity, permanence, and tradition. Each bride who passes through has a story to tell - one that carried her there, to that dress, that room, that moment. Illuminating the poignant aspects of a woman's journey to the altar, The Magic Room tells the stories of memorable women on the brink of commitment. Run by the same family for four generations, Becker's has witnessed transformations in how America views the institution of marriage: some of the shop's clientele are becoming step-mothers, some are older brides, some are pregnant. Shop owner Shelley has a special affection for all the brides, hoping their journeys will be easier than hers. Wall Street Journal columnist Jeffrey Zaslow tells their true stories using a reporter's research and a father's heart. The stories Zaslow shares from within the Magic Room are at times joyful, at times heart- breaking, and offers with insights on marriage, family, and the lessons that parents - especially mothers - pass on to their daughters about love. Weaving together secrets, memories, and family tales, The Magic Room explores the emotional lives of women in the twenty-first century.
