Hero Rescue of US Airways Flight 1549 FDNY Radio Traffic with Incident Text

[1nm1]

are there any youtube videos of emergency responders GOING to this incident???

[GShotsTV]

Civilans did most of the actual rescues, which is why I honored them as everyday heroes. I used some photos I found of FDNY at the distress plane, there may be more on YouTUBE if you do a search. I actually made several slightly different videos on Flight 1549, Captain Sully and all the heroes of Flight 1549 which brought about this miracle on the Hudson.

I hope you liked my video and gave it a favorable rating.

some geese got sucked into the engine

THey apparently flew through a flock of birds, sucking some into both engines and loosing power, and they couldn't make it back to the airport, so they had to belly-flop into the river.

geese got sucked into BOTH engines, causing catastrophic engine failure shortly after takeoff and didn't have enough altitude to make it back to an airport

Remember the Water Ferry got there nine minutes before anyone else.

Congratulations to the Captain and his quick decision making abilities, as well as the other first responders.
