He has nerves of steel, but hero pilot Chesley (Sully) Sullenberger is jittery about an overdue library book. The US Airways captain has informed his hometown library that he may not be able to return a borrowed book. The former fighter pilot has a good excuse: The book was lost when he was forced to make a splash landing on the frigid Hudson River last month. Unable to make it safely to an emergency landing strip, Sullenberger decided to ditch the plane in the river.
Officials at the Danville, Calif., library revealed that the flying ace rang them up saying the book is still in the crashed airliner's cargo hold and could he get an extension and a waiver on overdue fees. The book had been borrowed from the Fresno State University library.
