Amazing. It took me awhile to understand this billboard while I was awaiting a green light at a intersection in Asheville, NC. Very cool. Keep it up.

I'm excited I can get the letter-sized download, but I love this message and image so much that I would buy a poster-sized one if I could!!

I passed this billboard everyday on US-70 on my way to work in Durham until they recently took it down. Couldn't get the image out of my mind. So I came to the website to see if I could buy the poster to hang in the house. AWESOME..

This project is amazing! The billboards always seem to 'catch my eye' and I look forward to seeing new ones. Thanks for the reminders of the values I learned from my parents at a very early age.

I LOVE this billboard! I hope they never take it down here on Hwy 61 in southern MN. I get to drive by it everyday. It is a picture of 'survival'!

I love reading all the interesting titles and how each has a story that is so inspiring to read. These stories can really make a difference.

I read this billboard during the week while driving to my very stressful job. It's my inspiration while driving on Loop 820 NW in Fort Worth, Texas. You never know how you affect other people during you life. What this Flight Crew did touched the hearts of millions.

I love this billboard. It is simply awesome. Even though it has very few words, it says alot!

This is how an expert pilot can do the seemingly impossible. The flight crew were also on their "A" game by getting all the passengers out of the plane to safety. This is when you really appreciate the little safety spiel at the beginning of each flight.

This is my favorite billboard on RT 400 near Buffalo, NY.

This poster was the view I had outside my hotel on a recent vacation to New York. How awesome it was to wake up to this powerful message every morning. Sully is a true hero.

This is the greatest billboard ever. Sully and his crew did their job and did it extremely well. I'm not sure hero is a good word...because they did what they were trained to do...but extreme professionals would be for sure!

Totally moved by the picture. Brings back the memories as I watched CNN that January afternoon. Hail to the captain and all who did what they had to do to bring everyone to safety.

I pass this billboard three or more times a week. In the little town I'm from not many people get their full education. Hopefully people will see what preparation for the future can do! Fantastic job Sully!

This billboard was just put up in the last couple of days here in Chesapeake, VA on I64E right before the High Rise Bridge. It sent shivers up my spine! Being a former Air Force Officer, I am so proud of Capt Sully. He inspires me with his demeanor and professionalism....I would love to have this as my desktop background. Thanks for making my day!

I work for US Airways and could not be more proud of Captain Sully and 1st Officer Jeff Skiles- displayed on route 202.

The visual impact of this billboard is very powerful. Nothing in Time Square is more awe inspiring than this image.

Truly a Miracle! As a passenger on this flight I know I will have a testimony for life! I'm so thankful to be apart of something that will touch people lives forever!

THANKS!! The billboard is on I-95. I pass it on my way to a difficult medical clinic that I attend, and it is SO inspiring. THANK YOU!!

That one made me smile from ear to ear. I would not mind flying with him & it reminds us that calmness can be as rewarding as being boisterous.
Posted 8 months ago by Kirsten B. from North Carolina

Saw the billboard today on I-94 near Port Huron...gave me goosebumps...thanks for the gentle reminder. We all need to stop and smell the roses AND like the boy scout motto "always be prepared."

My guess is cold water on the feet never felt so good. To go through that experience and live to tell about it is incredible. So glad my friends are still around.

Noticed it as I was eating my lunch facing a busy downtown street. IT'S THE BEST POSTER I HAVE EVER SEEN!! I had to take a picture of it with my cell phone.

Best one yet! Awesome!
Posted 9 months ago by Ron M. from Texas

As a passenger on that plane, I was very touched to see this billboard. Captain Sully is truly my HERO!!! (I must also add that we passengers were pretty cool in getting ourselves off once he delivered the perfect landing.)

I just saw this today while driving on the freeway. Its truly amazing and inspiring to know that he saved every single life!

This makes me feel like preparation is needed for everything. Without preparation nothing is going to be done or solved nicely. Like a test you have to study to get a better grade. For a battle an army needs to be ready. Preparation is so important.

This was so awesome. I had to stop on the freeway to get a picture of it!

YOU'RE AWESOME HOW CAN YOU PULL THAT OF!
Posted 10 months ago by CHINA from FIJI

Speaking as a Security Officer, who has had to respond to emergencies as part of his job, I am gladdened by how the professionals on this plane used their skills so well to ensure not a single life was lost.
That includes not just the "cool under cabin pressure" Captain Sullenberger, but also his entire flight crew.
Thanks!

I saw this on CNN from that particular time and since than I do believe the pilots and cabin crews did a great job which will last forever. Well done.

I could not believe my eyes, the picture seems like one of those shots in stunts commonly seen in the movies but after reading through, I believe. It is wonderful, it a miracle.

So inspirational!

Look closely. With a little imagination the open doors of the plane together with the floating escape ramps look like hands holding the front of the plane!! Amazing!

Preparation

About This Billboard

On January 15, 2009, after taking off from LaGuardia airport in New York City, an Airbus 320 struck a flock of birds and was forced to land in the Hudson River. The remarkable calm and skills of the pilot and crew have become an inspiration to people around the world.

With the loss of both engines and only seconds to make critical decisions at 3000 feet (914 m) above the river, all the training and preparation of everyone involved came into play. The pilot, copilot and crew had logged many hours of flight time and it was their steady demeanor that helped the passengers remain calm during an intense situation. The remarkable result was that all 155 persons on board survived with reports of only relatively minor injuries.

Additionally, the first responders from the ferry boats nearby acted quickly and employed their extensive training to make sure everyone got to shore safely.

No one involved had ever experienced anything quite like this and yet their countless hours of experience combined to achieve an inspiring and successful rescue which will serve as an example for years to come of the value of Preparation…Pass It On.
