Laura Zych, Ben Bostic, "Miracle On The Hudson" Survivors, Find Love

Today marked the one year anniversary of the "Miracle on the Hudson" in which Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger deftly landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River.

While of the course the anniversary means so much to each and every passenger whose lives were spared that day, it represents just a little bit more for passengers Ben Bostic and Laura Zych.

As it turns out, six months after that fateful January day, the two became a couple and soon fell in love. Watch the video below for more of one of the sweetest love stories you'll find.

Nice people. I hope you will stay connected. Why must people experience extreme situations to become lovers ? My hope is that less would trigger love as well. Remember John Lennons Imagine.

I'm not discrediting what Sullenberger and crew did to get their passengers to safety.

But when is someone going to credit the Air Traffic controller who helped guide Flight 1549 to safety?

You here his voice on the recordings working with Sullenberger on various landing targets. But no one in the media has even credited this guy.

That was a year ago!? How fast time flies.

I'm sorry - I must have missed something. Aircraft performed as designed, pilot performed as trained. Where's the miracle?

[ZimboChick]

I am with you!

[socialtalker]

everyone survived. hence a miracle

[Epiphany2b]

The miracle is that Murphy's Law (If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong) was not in effect that day.

Most people wouldn't be able to land a jet on a river.

[TXfemmom]

Love and commitment should be accepted when it arrives. Good luck to both of them and I wish them great happiness.

Nice story. Bet he sealed the deal on the first night.

[bluechao]

No time like the present, right? They do seem to have the same feelings on that subject after their ordeal.

[Okieborn]

Lemonade out of lemons !!

[SouthernYankeeBelle]

Sure is. Great story

[Simondj]

Good luck to them and everyone else who falls in love!

[KarenGeorgetown]

I smell a Lifetime movie in the wind.

[ZimboChick]

lol i thought the same thing

[MsAndrea]

Who wrote this? Sarah Palin?

[SouthernYankeeBelle]

Don't ruin a good story

[gascelebrations]

You must be fun at parties. By the way "parties" are gatherings of "friends", if you have any.

[Eric2000]

I agree some more editing was in order. But nice story!

[annis]

I've forwarded this to my son, and some other young friends!

Lovely.

[KIVPossum]

US Airways should allow them free admission to the mile high club on any flight of their choosing.

[rabiddog6708]

LOL! They may already be members of tha club by now!

[ProFormaArtista]

And didn't hero Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger get an unheroic cut in pay and benefits for his heroism or was the reductions before?

[Amalek]

I am sure they had nothing to do with his heroism. NIce try muckraker.

[atretrioeciii]

Finding love is even more rare than surviving a plane crash.

Any guesses at what their first child will be named?

[madisonhack]

I dunno, but I bet someone was yelling "pull up, pull up!" at the moment of impact.

[QuietTom]

How nice! Sounds like a future James Cameron movie with Celine Dion singing the title song!

[Clarabell]

So far they've taken it "just far enough," in my view.
