Pilot And Crew Get Keys To NYC

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has presented pilot Chesley Sullenberger and his crew with keys to New York City. Last month, Sullenberger crash landed his plane on the Hudson river when birds disabled the flight's engines. All 155 people on board survived. Bloomberg called the pilot and crew, "five real American heroes."

"That day could have been one of our most tragic," said Bloomberg, "but became one of our most triumphant."

The ceremony was held at City Hall in Manhattan.
