Miracle on the Hudson Anniversary

Capt. Chesley Sullenberger--aka "Sully"--is reuniting in a few hours with co-pilot Jeff Skiles and many of other 155 people aboard flight 1549 aboard a NY Waterway ferry--which will cruise out to the same spot where the Airbus A320 went down a year ago today.  So.. can't we just finally put this story to rest? There have been umpteen articles, books, and now, documentaries,  -- is there anything more to be said or done?  Actually, today's event is to honor the rescuers--the Red Cross, the boat crews and everyone else who helped ensure that everyone got off the plane alive.  Enough said.
