Barack Obama's aides have invited hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger and his entire crew to attend the inauguration as guests of the new president. After striking a flock of geese upon takeoff at LaGuardia airport last week, Sullenberger safely ditched his U.S. Airways jetliner in the Hudson River with only minor injuries to his 155 passengers and crew. It was the first ever non-fatal water landing of a passenger jet.
