Thank you Captain Sullenberger. I always imagined a simulation of this situation but with different human actions to see this coming out of these conditions.
This is a great video, with very useful information. Thanks for posting! One word of advice, though - "Mythbusters" is trademarked as the name of a television series. You may want to consider renaming your video "Mythbusting", or something similar. We wouldn't want YT to bring the banhammer on an otherwise excellent video!
I watched your movie today you are an absolutely amazing person who saved 155 lives you deserve the world same with everyone else on that plane especially the staff and you making sure everyone was off the plane before yourself you are amazing 👏 10/10 rating on movie thank you for saving all of those lives
I flew on this plane about 4times night flights on one trip this plane was on tarmac for couple hours due to electrical problems another time this plane was diverted two hours from Rio de Janeiro and landed in recife with problems .my friend who was a captain of a dive support vessel died on its final flight this shocked me .but I lived in Rio so had to fly in and out of Brasil .I will never forget this risks I took with air France .
I might be a stranger but as soon as I first saw that you landed in the Hudson AND LIVED i immediately liked you. And now, I love planes! So thank you. Anyways, as a question from where I first met you, how did you feel when you landed on the river? And did you have any other close calls like that?
Hi captain! i need help, not o only from you, but from everyone that reads the comment, i don't know what to join, the air force or the navy, specifically for pilot. I love both equal but i just can decide which branch to apply.
Thank you for your service in the U.S. Airforce Captain Sullenberger! 🇺🇸 🫡 Are you still in contact with your then co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles & did y'all ever fly together again after flight 1549?
Obviously there are plenty of qualified pilots in this comment section who could have handled this situation! Bonin certainly made some mistakes, but he paid for them with his life, and it's obviously easier to blame him if you weren't in the cockpit with all the stress. Putting all the blame for such a complex disaster on one man is also rather unprofessional.
And people are worried about Boeing airplanes! These side stick controllers are on EVERY Airbus airplane. They should all be grounded. The MAX flew safely for 2-3 years before inexperinced pilots started flying it from 3rd world contries and messed it up. Bad on Boeing, but Airbus cockpit design sucks. Today active-active side stick controllers are available, and Airbus should be forced to retrofit every one of their damn airplanes.
It's not an American vs French thing. This one design idiosyncracy would undeniably be more avoidable in an Airbus. There are other designs in the Airbus cockpit that may be better than Boeing. This clip is old...it's clear Boeing has severe organizational and safety flaws in 2024.
Sully, first off, from one Air Force airman to the next, thank you for your service sir. You’re such an inspiration to so many people. I know you’re very close to many of the passengers and crew from flight1549. What would you say is the lasting impact from that flight that you think people should know about ?
Hello dear Captain Sully i am a teacher in physical siences in my country in france and i used the story of your flight ( i found the datas of your flight on the web...i also read a part of the ntsb report.....)to teach a few things about kinetic and potential energy to my younger students ect, i remember that a few of them could not beleive it was a real flight.....I wish you all the best from France
The Airline Industry, an Industrial Science, Worldwide completes 40 million flights safely each year without killing anyone. In perspective, Automobiles kill 1.3 million people each year; Big Pharm kills millions each year?
Any and all recent airplane crashes have been Boeing planes. Interesting enough, two Boeing whistleblowers are now dead. One from an apparent suicide (shot himself in the back of the head) and the other from an infection.
Congratulations Captain, on having a Museum named after you. (I would make it an entire Airport, if it were up to me) I just hope the airlines now have a short "To Do" list in your name, that you used to get that Beer can where you wanted her? (spoken a Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr.) "Sully's Sufferin' Succotash! Short list of things to do so we don't Die" God bless you and yours Captain. Thank you for your service to this Great Country.❤
Yea it's so important to frequently check when your passport expiration date is. I know people who have made a mistake not doing this and it's sometimes quite bad 😐
If Sulky said that he was going to fly a plane over a volcano and straight to the moon, I would trust him. I hope to God his wisdom, knowledge and experience is being put to good use by manufacturers!
