[DISCLAIMER: We here at the FailWhale Fan Club have the deepest respect and admiration for all those involved with US Airways Flight 1549. We are grateful that there were no casualties. The pilots, the crew, the passengers, and the emergency responders did everything they could to avert a potential disaster. That said, we also feel that laughter is always the best medicine. And this Fail Whale mod seems to be some really good medicine.]
