Eureka-+Heroic+Pilot+Saves+All+Passengers+and+Crew

In our discussions weekly, we are observing our Eureka moments (see discussion topic 1 Eureka Moments accessed from the home page): moments when we allow ourselves to create instead of just react. That's just what 57-year-old pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger did, using his 40 years of experience to know just what to do as the plane became compromised early into the flight. "With both engines out, a cool-headed pilot maneuvered his crowded jetliner over New York City and ditched it in the frigid Hudson River on Thursday, and all 155 on board were pulled to safety as the plane slowly sank. It was, the governor said, "a miracle on the Hudson."", MSNBC. Consider this story and the stories in your life that allow you to observe and consider your options- your "Aha" moments. Where you have learned something new, important and perhaps realized this newness after allowing yourself to experience the moment and draw off your own know how to accomplish the task successfully. Use the discussion topic 1 Eureka Moments to dialog your moments with the class. Please make sure you respond weekly to one student's post and keep track of these posts by printing out a journal of all of them to hand in at the end of our semester. Let yourself go, and allow the Eureka moments to happen.
