"Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the US Airways pilot who splash landed his jetliner in the Hudson River on January 15 with no fatalities, had a book in the plane's cargo hold he had checked out from California State University, Fresno, through his local library near Danville, CA. Library officials say Sullenberger called and asked for an extension and waiver of overdue fees. The librarians, appreciative of Sullenberger's sense of responsibility, waived all fees and are dedicating the replacement book to him. The book's subject? Professional ethics."
