"Miracle on the Hudson" at the P2 Energy Solutions User Conference
Posted by Rob Walter on Fri, Nov 06, 2009
If you weren't able to attend the 2009 P2 Energy Solutions User Conference in Orlando, we wanted to share one of the unique experiences we had.
Dave Sanderson was the last person out of the plane that crashed in the Hudson River in January of this year. He works with one of our software partners, Oracle, and was traveling for that job when the crash happened.
Dave shared his amazing story with us during our opening keynote address. It was awe-inspiring to hear how he helped get everyone safely off the plane and out onto the wing, where they were quickly rescued.
It was equally amazing to hear how quickly the events transpired. Dave walked us through those first 20 minutes, from when the plane crashed to when he found himself in a hospital bed in New Jersey.
Dave and the other survivors of the flight are releasing a book in January, detailing how their lives have changed because of the crash. From what we heard in Orlando, it promises to be quite a read.
Dave recently mentioned his experience at our conference on his blog. If you were at the conference, we encourage you to head there and leave him a comment about what you thought.
