I transcribed the portion of the letter which was read on the clip (link below), so that you wouldn't have to endure the interviewer couric.
Dear Captain Sullenberger, Big Apple Hero
Yesterday, I just received a voicemail from my 84-year-old father who lives on the 30th floor of a building with river views, here in Manhattan.
Had you not been so skilled, my father, or others like him in their sky-high buildings could have perished along with your passengers had not you landed in the river as you had.
As a holocaust survivor, my father taught me that to save a life, is to save the world as you never know what the person you've saved, nor his or her prodigy will go on to contribute to the peace and healing of the world.
Bless you, Captain Sullenberger
New York Loves You.
The wife, holding back tears, says that is her favorite letter, and the Captain concurs.
Captain Sullenberger is a hero.
