Newsstand - US Airways Hung Up on Sully After Crash

After ditching an Airbus A320 in the Hudson River and famously checking the cabin twice to make sure everyone escaped, Capt. Chesley Sullenberger then followed procedure and called in to the airline’s operations center. And the airline hung up on him.

your link doesn't work... here's (http://blogs.wsj.com/middleseat/2009/03/25/sully-dont-hang-up/) the correct one... and your title is a little misleading, it's "almost" hung up.

and your title is a little misleading, it's "almost" hung up.
There have been a few different versions of the story told, including one where he did, in fact, have to call back a second time to get through. Even the WSJ story linked required an update after the fact to show that there was only one call. So the thread title is only inaccurate after further clarification from the articles and the carrier, and the a WSJ didn't bother to update theirs.
