Last January 15, a US Airways jet had just taken off from New York's LaGuardia Airport when it was struck by a flock of geese, destroying both engines. Over the next three minutes, the plane's pilot, Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger, managed to glide the jet to a safe landing in the Hudson River. It was an instant media sensation - the 'Miracle on the Hudson' - and Captain Sully was a hero. But how much of the happy ending can actually be credited to the pilot? To what extent is the 'miracle' the result of extraordinary, but not widely known, and in some cases quite controversial, ADVANCES IN AVIATION and computer technology? In his latest book, Fly By Wire, Vanity Fair foreign correspondent (and pilot) William Langewiesche explores the world of advanced aviation and assembles the untold stories necessary to truly understand the 'miracle,' questioning our assumptions about the role of human decision-making in modern aviation.

At once fierce and adorable, the polar bear symbolizes the harsh beauty and muscular grace of the Arctic. In our age of global warming, polar bears have also come to symbolize the peril that faces all life on Earth. But while the population of polar bears has shrunk by half in 20 years, wildlife painter and acclaimed science writer Richard Ellis says the POLAR BEARS' EXTINCTION, and the ice caps' disappearance, is far from inevitable. Ellis, author of On Thin Ice, says that as the polar bears' habitat disappears, their survival rests on our willingness to take critical steps, such as listing them as endangered, even though that would render their territory off-limits to oil drilling. Presented as part of the Seattle Science Lectures series, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Sponsored by Microsoft. info http://www.townhallseattle.org
