The
legendary
Hollywood
actor
Tom
Hanks
says
that
he
felt
honoured
to
portray
the
character
of
'real-life
hero'
Captain
Chesley
Sullenberger
(Sully)
in
Clint
Eastwood's
latest
movie
of
the
same
title
Sully:
Miracle
on
the
Hudson.
The
60-year-old
star
played
the
important
role
of
Sully,
the
plane
pilot,
who
had
to
force
an
emergency
landing
on
the
Hudson
river
following
two
bird
strike
to
the
plane
engines.
He
had
saved
almost
155
passengers
and
other
crew's
lives
by
making
this
daring
act.
This
real
incident
happened
on
15
January
2009.
Hanks
said
that
he
met
the
person
Sully
in
real,
to
understand
the
character
better.
Sully,
however,
suffered
from
'Post
Traumatic
Stress
Disorder'
after
the
incident
and
also
had
to
go
through
a
lot
of
difficulties
to
prove
that
the
incident
was
not
due
to
"pilot
error."
"I
think
heroes
are
people
who
voluntarily
put
themselves
in
harm's
way.
And
by
that
criteria
you
could
say
that
anybody
that
puts
themselves
in
an
airplane
for
a
living
and
cheats
death
somehow," Hanks
said.
"They
stand
up
in
front
of
140
odd
people
who
are
jammed
into
those
seats
and
says,
'I
know
we
will
be
in
the
air
for
three-and-a-half
hours
but
don't
worry
we
will
get
you
there,'
that
is
somebody
who
takes
on
a
responsibility
that's
bigger
than
the
average
job
requirements," Hanks
added.
