On Jan. 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia airport in New York City. Just six minutes after takeoff, the plane hit a flock of geese, causing both engines to fail. The captain made a miraculous emergency landing on the Hudson River. All 155 passengers survived, and it quickly became known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.” One of those passengers was Dave Sanderson. He is known not only for being a survivor of the Miracle on the Hudson, but also as an inspirational TEDx speaker, author and philanthropist. He has shared the lessons from that experience with more than 1,700 audiences around the world. His mission is to pass on the strategies he learned and implemented to show how you, too, can grow from a traumatic life event and achieve your most sought-after goals and outcomes.
