This Sunday (Jan 15, 2023) is the 14th anniversary of one of the most storied events in commercial aviation history. When an airplane lost both of its engines and had to land in the Hudson River, the nation was riveted.
Mike Kollmansberger was on that plane, and his first-person account is compelling. Mike tells not just the story of that day, but also how it is impacted his faith and perspective in the years since.

Thank you for the sharing this perspective on a story I thought I was so familiar with. It has given me a new insight not only into what happened, but also has reminded me that God is our constant while all else is fleeting.
