Mike Schwartz, a former village resident shares miracle story with Ridgewood AM Rotary

The Ridgewood News
After time goes by, it can be interesting to reflect on big news stories from the past. For people who were involved, some things stand out even years later.
For former 18-year Ridgewood resident Mike Schwartz – who as a passenger on a nearby ferry helped evacuate plane survivors during the “Miracle on the Hudson” about four years ago – time itself stands out: how slowly it moved during the actual event.
That, and the importance of doing something – anything – to help.
“Here’s my big thing,” he said. “Instead of saying ‘I’m sure somebody will help,’ it’s important to be that somebody. If you can help, help.”
Schwartz told his story during a recent Ridgewood AM Rotary meeting as part of the organization’s history series. He vividly recalled each moment following the mid-river ditching of the commercial plane, which was disabled by a flock of geese, and his audience was surprised to learn that the evacuation took just about an hour.
