First up on Sunday’s 60 Minutes is that first interview with hero pilot Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, whose incredible water landing captivated the world. Hear his story as he tells correspondent Katie Couric how he lost power in both engines after striking birds over New York City. "It was the worst sickening, pit-of-your-stomach, falling-through-the-floor feeling I’ve ever felt in my life." How did he land a 75-ton jet using nothing but gravity and his experience on a river without incurring any serious injuries to the 155 people onboard? You’ll hear how in detail, as well as the stories of his co-pilot – furiously trying to restart the engines while going over the checklist for the emergency landing – and the flight attendants, preparing frightened passengers in the cabin for the landing. It’s the crew’s first group interview also and the extra long feature will also contain an emotional reunion with those passengers and the people who saved their lives.

Watch an excerpt.

     

Few rock ‘n’ roll acts can stay popular for over 25 years, let alone still fill stadiums. Jon Bon Jovi and his band are an exception, reports correspondent Steve Kroft in our second piece. After years of success and seven platinum albums, this rocker still wants to rock. "You’d think why would I beat myself up like that after 25 years? Because you want to be the best." Bon Jovi says. He seems to have a charmed life that includes marrying his childhood sweetheart, four children, living in several homes and loving every minute. Says a smiling Bon Jovi, "I haven’t had a bad day since the doctor slapped me on the ass."
