Within minutes a double bird strikedestroyed both engines, and the pilot made theterrifying decision to ditch the Airbus A320 into the Hudson River. Jim Whitaker was one of the passengers on that fateful flight. Hear about the practical life lessons he learned that day and how the event changed him, affecting the way he works and his outlook on life.
