Hudson hero Sullenberger to make millions from book deal

     New York: American airline transport pilot Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger, who made headlines with his heroic landing in the Hudson river early this year, is reportedly set to make millions from a book deal. Sullenberger, who came into the limelight after saving the life of 155 people with an emergency landing in the river, has been meeting many publishers these days. "William Morrow [a division of HarperCollins] is paying Sully 3 million dollars for a two-book deal," the New York Daily News quoted a source as saying. However, Sullenberger's representatives have not confirmed the deal. "(He) has met with various people to discuss the possibility of writing a book, but nothing has been finalized as of yet," said one representative.
