HEROIC MOUSTACHES: Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III, pilot of US Airways Flight 1549

Thanks to many hours spent playing Flight Simulator II on the Commodore Amiga during a spell of unemployment in the 1980s, Chesley was able to ditch a passenger plane on a river without anyone getting their legs mashed up or having their clothes ripped off and their naked bodies dispersed over a ten-mile area.

From some news blog, sent in by a reader called "Jim." We wouldn't expect people with utilitarian, workmanlike names like Jim to spend their days reading gossip blogs, so it was a bit of a surprise.

What's heroic about crashing? My mum reversed her Ford Focus into the trollies at ASDA last week and no one called her a hero.

There's always one attention seeker. She was probably threatening a stewardess with legal action if she didn't unstrap and fetch her that drink RIGHT NOW

Real heroes jump out and let it crash into a snowy mountain. Then the true test of character begins. A quitter, I say.
