The pilot was identified as Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.
"He is the consummate pilot," said Lorrie Sullenberger of her husband, who is an US Air Force Academy grad who flew F-4 fight planes while in the Air Force. "He is about performing that airplane to the exact precision to which it is made."
The pilot is president and CEO of a company called Safety and Reliability Methods Inc, which says it provides "technical expertise and strategic vision and direction to improve safety and reliability in a variety of high risk industries".
"My body won't stop shaking," said Lorrie, who has two daughters with Sullenberger. But, she added, after speaking to him, "I think he's fine. I'm relieved."
