I think the vidio says it all.
Nice animation… and quick. I hope we have more clarity on our Dutch plane-crash from last week soon.
Data analysis of crashed Turkish jet’s black box due next week;

Wow. Incredible.
Pixar forgot to add the life jackets to the first class passengers. But they make up for it with the menacing geese terrorists, Ya they knew what they were doing.
They used better animation to fake the moon landings.
This story is starting to get old…
everyone takes it so lightly, but there had to be some MAJOR skills involved for him to A) even consider landing on water, and B) actually pulling it off.
plus the confidence in his voice “…yeah, we’re landing in the Hudson.”
Bears repeating: Sully is a steely-eyed missile man.
….I’d like to hear the cockpit recording.
Wow . Amazing.
That captain is about as cool and collected as one can get. A hero.
Yeah, it’s still amazing. Cool to the finish…the man you want to fly your plane.
Just under 2 minutes to splashdown…
2027.36 SULLY: Ah, this is, uh, Cactus 1539, hit birds, we lost thrust in both engines. We’re turning back towards La Guardia.
2027:42 Harten: OK, yeah, you need to return to to La Guardia. Turn left heading of two-two-zero.
2027:46 SULLY: Two-two-zero.
2027:49 Harten: Tower, stop your departures, we got an emergency returning.
2027:53 LGA: Who is it?
2027:54 Harten: It’s 1529, he, uh bird strike, he lost all engine, he lost the thrust in the engines, he’s returning immediately.
2027:59 LGA (sounds like Al Michaels): Cactus 1529. Which engines?
2028:01 Harten: He lost thrust in both engines, he said.
2028:03 LGA: Got it.
2028:05 Harten: Cactus 1529, if we can get it to you, do you want to try land runway 1-3?
2028:11 SULLY: We’re unable – we may end up in the Hudson.
2028:31 Harten: Alright, Cactus 1529, it’s going to be left traffic to runway 3-1.
2028:34 SULLY: Unable.
2028:36 Harten: OK. What do you need to land?
2029:02 Harten: Do you want to go to Teterboro?
2029:03 SULLY: Yes.
2029:05 Harten: Teterboro, uh, Empire, actually La Guardia departure, got an emergency landing inbound.
2029:10 TEB: Ok, go ahead.
2029:11 Harten: Cactus 1529 over George Washington Bridge wants to go to the airport right now.
2029:14 TEB: He wants to go to our airport – check. Does he need any assistance?
2029:17 Harten: Uh, yes, he, uh, he was a bird strike. Can I get him for, uh, runway one?
2029:19 TEB: Runway one, that’s good.
2029:21 Harten: Cactus 1529, turn right 2-8-0. You can land runway 1 at Teterboro.
2029:25 SULLY: We can’t do it.
2029:26 Harten: OK, which runway would you like at Teterboro?
2029:28 SULLY: We’re going to be in the Hudson.
2029:33 Harten: I’m-I’m sorry – say again, Cactus?
I would expect no other performance from any other pilot in the same circumstances.
Only sheep need heroes.
I just received the transcript from Canada Goose Squad V43, Smitty’s Pond, Canada. A tragic outcome for captain FLUFFY who lost 1 of his crew and 2 passengers.
FLUFFY: Uh, this is the captain… we are now at 1800 feet. Assume 78 degree V formation and prepare to level out.
Hangten: Roger that captain. Jostling for position is about completed. Please advise on heading.
FLUFFY: Hangten, turning left two-two-zero.
Hangten: Following your lead.
Hangten: Uh, captain… stiffbird coming in fast on right flank.
FLUFFY: Roger that. Turning right 2-8-0.
Hangten: Uh… stiffbird changing course also. Can we turn around and, uh, go back?
FLUFFY: We’re unable. We may end up in the engines.
Hangten: We can land in the Hudson. I see a spot…
FLUFFY: We can’t do it.
Hangten: How about down there by that little floaty thingy.
FLUFFY: We’re going to be in the engines.
Hangten: I’m-I’m sorry – say again, captain?
[Way to go, JimR. – ed.]
Time to reprogram the simulators, water landings do exist!
Give it up Bobbo, your disdain for the Captain is as old as the story. Like you could do as well. How many hours in type do you have?
#13, Jim,
Loved it.
#16, Fusion,
Ditto. Thanks #13, good one.
Excellent simulation work. The flight was shortened, I would like to see the complete version.
#13 Jim, great post.
BubbaRay, bobbo hates America and sympathizes with the terrorist Canadian geese who want to force the metric system on freedom loving people everywhere.
Thanks guys… and you’re welcome. 🙂
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
