New Jersey Couple Helps With Rescue Effort

James and Susan Galvacky of Belmar, New Jersey were among the first passengers on a ferry boat who witnessed the US Airways crash first-hand. The couple was going to the city for a doctor's appointment. Upon encountering the scene, James had thought that the plane was a boat that had flipped over, and soon realized otherwise.

The two helped in the rescue efforts by getting people out of the water, as well as those who clung on to the plane's wings, and onto the boat. They found that most of the passengers aboard the fallen aircraft were too in shock to be screaming; their demeanor was calm, despite the freezing waters in which they were immersed.

Susan did her part in placating a crying and bleeding woman by holding her until she got medical attention. "It was like a dream," Susan said of the surrealistic scene that was before her. She was prompted to cry, but reminded herself that her aid was needed. She and her husband were just two of the many good samaritans who became heroes yesterday.
