They already have the heart of the city because of their "miracle" landing on the Hudson River. Now, the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 also have keys to the city.

"On behalf of all new yorkers, thank you for saving so many lives. thank you for sparring our city and so many families from an awful tragedy," said Mayor Bloomberg.

Captain Chesley Sullenberger says it took a team to do it. The cool under pressure pilot says although he landed on the river, others jumped into action saving everyone on board.

"This was a crew effort, a crew of five as well as the first responders here in New York and the cooperation of the passengers on board made this successful landing responsible," said Sullenberger.

That includes all of those ferry workers and riders who pulled people from the water.

"We got ourselves into the river, but y'all got us out of the river and I appreciate that greatly," said Co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles.

The crew says they thought it would be a routine flight from LaGuardia to Charlotte, North Carolina on January 15. That changed when the plane collided with a flock of geese. People on the ground in the Bronx heard an explosion from the plane's engines followed by flames shooting from the left engine.

"From the cockpit vantage point I could not see the flames, but I knew from the sounds the engine was making, the vibration I felt and the smell of the birds going through the system. I knew we had damaged both engines severely," said Sullenberger.

After such a dramatic landing, a lot of people are wondering if the crew members will be flying the friendly skies again. Most of them said yes, except one flight attendant who said she is not so sure.

Doreen Walsh says she hasn't had the nerve to put on her uniform.

"I've been flying 38 years and have been doing it since I was 19 and this is the first experience. And honestly, I don't know, I am taking it day by day," said Walsh.

"I will definitely fly again. It is not only my job, I am a flight attendant, But I am a flight attendant. I will be back at work soon," said Donna Dent, another crew member who was on board Flight 1549.

The same goes for Captain Sullenberger. In addition to his key to the city, the mayor gave him a replacement copy of a library book he left on the sinking plane. It's title -- "Just Culture: Balancing Safety and Accountability".
