New York, NY—It’s difficult to imagine just how it would be to see how this US Airways mishap went down. An animation recreating this event with the radio traffic let’s you see just what happened.
This video will show you the obvious cause of the accidental discharge of a Federal Flight Deck Officer's Service weapon. The cause was a flawed and dangerous policy requiring redundant and unnecessary firearm handling by the pilots and an equipment design disaster. You don’t place foreign objects next to a trigger of a loaded gun!

Just goes to show, there are True American Heros that walk among us, going about their day to day, unassumingly and quietly doing their jobs. Too bad the media doesn't find it newsworthy enough to spotlight more great Americans like Sully, as they are out there.
This country would be much the better for it.
