A former Phoenix resident is the survivor of two plane crashes and will be telling his story on "Katie" today on ABC15.

Eric Stevenson, who now lives in Paris, France, tells Katie Couric the flight that landed on the Hudson River four years ago was his second crash.

"It's not supposed to happen once and then to happen twice, it was amazing," Stevenson tells Couric.

Tuesday's show airs at 3 p.m. on ABC15 where flight 1549's captain, Sully Sullenberger and his family are reunited with passengers on the flight where he made a heroic landing.
