Pasadena, Calif. -- Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger III, who safely landed a passenger jet in New York's Hudson River, will be grand marshal of the 2010 Rose Parade, officials said.

The Tournament of Roses said the 121st Rose Parade on New Year's Day -- with the theme "A Cut Above the Rest" -- will honor "everyday heroes."

Sullenberger was at the controls of US Airways Flight 1549 Jan. 15 when the jetliner lost power and he ditched the plane into the river.

"Captain Sully saved the lives of 155 people and is an excellent example of the everyday American hero," Jeffrey Throop, acting president of the Tournament of Roses, said in a release.

Tsunami may have hit NYC area 300 B.C.

New York -- Scientists are postulating a huge wave -- a tsunami -- slammed into the region that is now New York City about 2,300 years ago.

The researchers say they've found evidence of a powerful ocean wave dumping sediment and shells across Long Island and New Jersey, and depositing wood debris far up the Hudson River, the BBC reported Monday. Further testing will be done to rule out other possible causes for the upheaval, such as an unusually large storm, the British network said.

Steven Goodbred of Vanderbilt University said sediment core drillings turned up large gravel, marine fossils and other materials dating to about 300 B.C. The evidence seems to rule out a storm, pointing instead to massive wave action, he said.
