i still can't get enough of this story. with all of the bad news we have this makes me feel good. i'm not quite sure if it's a "miracle" though. it was a combination of extraordinary skill and professionalism from the crew which includes both pilots and flight attendants, a very well engineered craft, not perfect but still over all calm and cooperation of the passengers, a pretty clear day, calm and non icey river, landing in the middle of a ferry route, and fast action of all the rescuers. if one wants to consider all of that coming together just right as a miracle then so be it.
that's not quite right, in fact there were three others who managed a "forced water landing", but sully, his crew and the ferry rescuers made the miracle happen. Even twelve years later I can't figure, what wuould have happened with another configuration of staff.
Theres a message here. Employers dont sack old experienced people. Their skills could be invaluable as we can see. A keen young worker couldnt pull this off without the experience.
I watched the movie, Sully one awesome Pilot, and crew, all of New York and other rescue crew, I consider you all Hero's. flight attendants training and reactions to this accident. You all did a wonderful job. The most important thing is that no one was lost. Tom Hanks, and all the actors/actresses who playes in the movie Sully out standing performance, watched it 3x's. Clint Eastwood awesome job!!! Much love to Captain Sully, the crew, the survivors, and all responders.
When you devote your life to helping people and saving people, and it doesn't always work and you don't always get thanked, things like this means a lot. The landing and rescue were magnificent and inspired us all to work harder and care more.
Sully, thank you! You are amazing Captain. Thank you for all crew team and passengers! I work in aviation business in Russia. I am Russian. This particular case happened, is good exsample to sho, how right captain's decision and cooperation of crew and passengers made everebody survived.
A complete real hero, just goes to show not all hero's wear capes. A true human being putting others before himself in such a forced fast decision making crisis.
Whether or not you want to use the term hero, well I suppose that's debatable. But nobody can deny that the crew performed perfectly under extremely unfavorable conditions. The pilot didn't want to have to land in the river, but it was his only viable option and once that became clear to him, he did what he had to do. Competence. Sheer and utter, almost epic competence on the part of the whole crew. What a job well done, and quite deserving of our admiration and applause.
I've never liked flying because I know there's always that chance that it will crash....thankfully the times I have it didn't. I can only imagine what these people must have been going through to actually here those words....thank God above for Captain Sullenberger and his experience plus his co-pilot Skiles and the whole crew....not many captains who have to ditch a plane....making quick decisions...get to save everyone on board....when things went so wrong....I'm glad I wasn't on it....I know I would have freaked out....saying my prayers...wanting someone to hold my hand....Not many people live to tell they survived a plane crash....I bet they are truly grateful....thanks to all those helped in the rescue too!
Frikkin onion chopping ninjas in my room making my eyes water again!! How must it feel to be sitting across a room / studio with either the people who saved your life or the people whose lives you saved? I hope I never have to find out. But to every pilot who has ever flown a plane I was in, please know that I (and most others) are well aware that we place our lives in your hands and eternally grateful that you take that seriously. God bless you all!!
At the moment of rescue, nothing mattered but helping people in need. Race, gender, religion, financial status, none of that existed. In that moment, there was nothing more than a determination to get those people to safety. The world needs more moments like this. Maybe without near catastrophe though.
The skill of the crew was phenomenal. So was the rescue effort by New Yorks finest and their citizens. The plane was in the Hudson in the middle of January only minutes after take off. Not a lot of room for error and everyone on board and on the ground was on point with their decisions. Safety came first and not a single life was lost. Except for the Geese. New Yorkers were due for a feel good story like this.
The other pilot was going through the checklist. Sully was given the responsibility of flying the plane. Sully was the pilot in command, meaning he had the responsibility of controlling the aircraft.
Let me see you land a commercial air liner with disabled engines, with a crew and 155 passengers on board, land on a river and not hurt anyone or damage the aircraft. And do all this in three minutes. If you don't like this story of heroism, go watch something else..please.
I see these people,crew, passengers, rescuers all together and it's so beautiful. If I were in that aircraft I wouldn't care if another passenger is black or white, Arab or European, christian or muslim, gay or straight and so on. So guys, some of you on the web that don't stop fighting for no real reason just put yourselves there. Come on, here is the truth, here is the beauty.
Undoubtedly, 'Sully' was instrumental in getting that plane down safely. BUT, I am wondering if the Airbus 320's design was instrumental in achieving a water landing without the plane breaking up?
The port (left) engine came off at impact but that is expected with a hard impact due to "shear bolts" that enable an engine to come off in a catastrophic stall so the planes mainframe is not damaged due to a large bird strick or other bad problem
i didnt notice in several videos if both engines were pulled off on impact, but the footage showed he landed it on that sweetspot just forward of the tail, and he held it up as long as gravety let him, that is exactly a seaplane lands. the navy used to rid gulls around airports using the radar on ships coming into port. they'd get everybody off the decks and turn on the radar, and cook them from the inside out .
Britney strikes me as such a wonderful girl. And the strength, and kindness can both be found in her beautiful face. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not american) but she seems to have Native American features, no? Cosmo on the other hand, sweet guy sporting on of the funniest English I heard. Gotta love them all, for being there when a catastrophe just avoided was about to turn to a new one.
Why do people forget he was not the only one in the cockpit? It takes 2 (TWO) people to fly an airliner.. yet the actual pilot got zero recognition. Sully was only the supervisor onboard.
That is such an amazing story. In the movies people would be grabbing other passengers and shoving them out of the way to try and escape, however in reality most people are gracious and thankful. Especially since the first half of the rescue was about a brave intrepid pilot "Sully'" or Captain Sullengerger who was grace under fire. My question: why aren't engine ports housed in heavy wire mesh? DO they make it? Loosing a whole plane over something so obviously practical seems absurd.
Exactly. I didn't even know who the crew of Flight 1549 were until a few months ago. I just didn't care. I only found out about them because I was bored one night and I came across an old article online. I'm more interested in computers and music.
The woman at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> says her friend wouldn’t let her call her husband, but in another documentary that same woman says she left a voicemail to her husband after he didn’t answer when she called.
I thought the exact same thing!! She says, "of course he didn't answer," while making a face. Why do you think she lied? Lol I was going to comment on that, but figured no one would know what i was talking about.
@@ChiiBomb this interview was published a month or so after the accident and her friend was there and kind of confirmed the story so she probably lied on the documentary. Husband was probably like wait, what? Lol
El que habita al abrigo del altísimo, morará bajo la sombra del omnipotente. Salmos 9<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a>. Dios bendiga ese piloto, me encanta su temple, madurez e inteligencia. Dios bendiga todas las asafatas y brigadas que reaccionaron a tiempo salvando esas 155 vidas! Alabado sea Dios!!
Señora, si Dios existe entonces todo lo malo tambien llega por su voluntad. O sea, nuestras creencias no indican que Dios sea alguien bueno, simplemente un poder que juega con nosotros como piezas de ajedres. Yo me quite la venda de los ajos hace varios años
