Someone safely landed a plane in the middle of Manhattan. Twice.
Before Captain Sullenberger landed on the Hudson River, a man named Thomas Fitzpatrick landed in Manhattan twice. After making a bet, he stole a plane and landed it on St. Nicholas Avenue, right in front of the bar where he made the bet. Then, two years later, he did it again, both in narrow areas in the dark.
The Earth is called Telleus and/or Terra after both greek and roman gods.
