by Jules Folcke from Seclin in France

133034peoplepeopleHis name is Chelsey Sullenberger. He's an 69-year-old American. Chelsey was born on January 23, 1951, and he is a former flight pilot.

Chelsey managed to land an airbus on a river with 150 passengers and 5 flight attendants, making him one of the best flight pilots. The plane motors caught fire after a double bird impact. So the plane couldn't continue the journey and the pilot decided to land on the Hudson River. Nobody died and 55 passengers were intact.

I chose Chelsey for my hero because even in a critical situation where there was a huge chance of failure, he managed to keep his calm and land a plane on a river without killing anyone.
