  • this guy is a FREAKING LEGEND!!!!

  • seriously, this whore couric asks stupid questions. how does she even have this job? could the network not find anyone smarter?

  • Sully deserves to go to heaven

  • WOW I love this guy!

  • Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger

    For President 2012 !

  • When did you realise the birds hit the plane....when the windscreen went dark... thank goodness for the inteligent media

  • Wait a minute, The late great Howard Hughes landed a much larger plane on a river, and it didn't sink!.

  • @steamgeezer i think it sink because some stupid passenger opened the back door , one of the stewardesses told that in one interview

  • Katie smells like burned bird smell

  • How can 6 people "dislike" this???

  • I'm 12 and I love watching 60 Minutes, but Katie, you asked SO,SO,SO,SOOOOO RETARDED questions. I'm sorry. No offence to you, but you can tell by "Sully's" answers that he is getting pretty frusterated with her questions.

  • I disliked it because Katie Couric rejected my advances when I met her in a first class airport terminal.

  • DISLIKED

  • who diliked this video????? Go fuck yoursef, idiots

  • @hendrikson83 Probably the geese. Fuck them.

  • "i was sure i could do it"...... my job is very dangerous, and confidence is all i have sometimes. This guy is so awesome.

  • The ethiopian plane crash was very different than this one. They had terrorist in the cockpit arguing and threatening the pilots lives at the time of touchdown

  • @PInk77W1 Don't forget the ocean waves versus a calm, smooth river. Also, they didn't mention that most of the passengers survived that crash landing and then drowned inside the fuselage because they had inflated their life jackets despite being told not to do so until after they were out of the plane.

  • @deedubya286 NO I didnt forget... just not even close. sully had full concentration on his job at hand. ET flight was terrorist in cockpit. not comparable

  • @deedubya286 could u imagine what the co-pilot must of been thinkin? "we r goin in the hudson." .... say what?!!!!! well i aint got no better idea and he is the boss so here goes!!!!

  • runways are for pussys

  • Lol!! Sully is far too kind and far too much teh gentleman, but I am sure he felt the flight was less traumatic and more enjoyable than this interview with Katie Couric. Lol!!

  • Despite Couric, I still had to give thumbs up to this video. It would not seem possible I could do that, but that's just how good Sully and his story are.

  • did you... (insert stupid question everyone already knows)

  • Burnt bird smell, you mean barbeque marinated in jet fuel, lol!

  • what the hell is your problem @Synthstrumental? Is your life really that crappy that you have to make up stuff to make yourself feel better? You really need to make up conspiracies because you're that insecure with your life and your self? You're really mature. Really. *sarcasm* You're such a loser. Captain Sully is a hero.

  • @caitlinjessie92 This guy is a sham and you are a fucking moron for believing this bullshit hallmark fairytale.

  • @Synthstrumental what is wrong with you dude... im all for conspiracy theories but come on...

  • @carniboy18 That's all you can say in return? lol you even use the term "conspiracy theories" as though you have no confidence in what you are talking about. What do you question then? What is a conspiracy to you? Wake up. What you're being told 90% is based on lies. Maybe one day, huh

  • Were these questions planned ahead of time? Because they are awful.

  • Comment removed

  • a 50 cal. round being fired from a rifle into water, only makes it 14 inches in before it is destroyed -- do you REALLY think he could land this plane in the water like that, and not have significant damage and no deaths? Hoax, meant to give the false sense of "hope", 5 days before Obama Inauguration. Invocation of 9/11, in the staged letters Think about it -- where is the footage in 2009, all the cell phone cameras? Only 3 or 4 crass, barely visible shots from across the river. I smell BULLSHIT

  • @Synthstrumental you're an idiot

  • @arkt1k Keep believing the lies, you fucking moron.

  • @Synthstrumental Wow, that's some really sad hallucination. Please get yourself help. Soon.

  • @innismor11 Actually, you need help, if you believe this bullshit story. Please pull your head from your ass, kid.

  • @Synthstrumental - Hoax, meant to give the false sense of "hope", 5 days before Obama Inauguration. Invocation of 9/11, in the staged letters Think about it -- where is the footage in 2009, all the cell phone cameras? Only 3 or 4 crass, barely visible shots from across the river. I smell BULLSHIT"

    Just another YouTube kid, no high resolution video did not happen, right moron?

    Take the disrespectful tin foil garbage to one of your conspiracy porn websites. Sheep.

  • @CCRider100 You're a fucking moron if you can't figure it out for yourself. Period.

  • Pissweak on Katie's part !!!!

  • This is just a miracle...Sully is incredible.

  • 6 Silly Geese Hate Sully

  • ok Katie she asked tell me what you saw from the cockpit obviously he saw the RIVER DUH!

  • Dude's a hero but he doesn't blink. Unsettling.

  • I bet that they told Sully to dumb it down. "How do you fly a plane without engines" Terrible questions...

  • "Did you pray?"

    No, you dumb bitch. I decided to become god instead.

  • @fkashem1986 lol nice one

  • Good job Katie!!

  • Good job Katie!1

  • I can sense the contempt coming out of Sully's eyes as Couric threw each successively dumber question at him.

  • I hope the 6 dislikes were for Kaite's lousy questions, not Capt. Sully

  • This guy deserves everything good that comes to him.

  • This has to be the dumbest woman on the planet! Sully, Jeff, as a fellow pilot I salute your skill & courage.

  • 6 birds disliked this video

  • Incredible, one of the greatest commercial aviation feats in history,

    Well done Mr. Sullenburger!

  • 60 minutes is one of the best news show , with great reporters & in - depth coverage reports. Katie Couric is no favourite of mine though.

  • There are so many other people to do the interview that would have been much.much better. She's very annoying and fake. She ruined it.

    Such a fantastic story. the reporters needed to interview the copilot ,jeff skiles, more than they did.He should have been in that interview also. Both were so cool under pressure. I'll always remember these 2 heros and the rest of the crew.

    Thanks sully and jeff.,you made us proud when we were in need of some heros.

  • He did make one huge mistake. Allowing himself to be interviewed by this dummy.

  • she's annoyingly dumb ...

  • Airbus? More like SCAREBUS amirite?

  • @thenekom no you arent right.

  • Great job by capt & fo

  • CAPTAIN. sully god will never forget u! and ur crew! u saving life of may passenger! more power! ur my idol!!!!!!!! god bless you olwys!

  • Comment removed

  • katie, i know this is your page, but listen closely.. you are so dramatic. next time just ask one question.... "tell us your story" thats it.

  • Katie asks the stupidest questions. if it was me she was talking to. i would of donkey puched her right in her mooseknuckle !

  • She so fired....Brave pilot...

  • legend!!

  • esse piloto e bom demais  !!!

  • wow her questions are so stupid.

  • some of the ..i mean... 90% of the question are fukin stupid and no brainer.

  • Katie Couric sucks

  • This woman is so retarded.... asking stupid questions of a man who proved to be well trained, well educated and bloody well prepared for the task at hand

  • "So.....you were...going fast...towards...the earth?"

    Gee, that's quite the question there.

  • lol when did you realize bird hit the plane? fuck you bitch ioif you fall out of bike how did you noticet that you did

  • We engineers usually call airline pilots "monkeys" (because we sent monkeys into space... and an aircraft is usually better off without them) but now I realise what made this monkey a bit smarter... he was in the ChAirforce! :)

  • @kylemontanaro engineer? are you the retards that sit in the break room and watch tv?

  • @POLITICTRUTH Nope, I'm the one who started working on old retired military aircraft and learning from them BEFORE I actually started my EASA Category B licence course because by learning theory without knowing what the teacher's talking about is a big waste of time! (and especially if your teacher's an airline pilot!)

  • No offence but are all American interviewers like this? it irates me when they ask question after question about something that has already been answered in a previous reply, And when she was asking about the birds hitting the plane and the engines its like asking "when you fell off the edge of the cliff and began falling, did you realise then you were in trouble" well no shit he realised! the guys been flying for 34 years with that ammount of experience you get to know these things

  • "how long did those 3 minutes feel like?"

    "3 minutes, what do u expect whore?"

  • Just an amazing story. Obviously this is the guy you want flying the plane you are on, calm, cool and very very skilled. And a very nice looking man too!

  • @mike197931 the Ethiopian plane was a hijack terrorist takeover. They did not know how to fly and probably killed the pilots prior to taking the plane over. Being suicidal they don't care, Allah be praised. Alot of things went in favour for Sully and Skiles that day,one of them being the Hudson River was calm that day cause they claim on days it gets rough waters! As well they were lucky it was daytime and not night time,lots of daylight. They still pulled of a miracle and are to be commended!

  • Katie, you suck at interviewing PERIOD.

  • @lewrites Seriously! "When did you realize these birds had hit the plane?" Uh, when they hit the plane dumbshit!

  • I forgot how long ago this was! I remember coming home from school and watching it on tv

  • wtf? who is this daft cow? is he interiewed in the mental institution by the worst pacient?

  • you are amazing

  • And by the way, the woman interviewing the pilot is the most annoying woman I have ever seen. Typical americans...amazed by everything. Usually things that are crap.

  • Will people stop saying they are all hereos! Do you think any other pilot is not trained for exactly the same type of situation? Any pilot would have done their absolute best to land that plane as safely as possible...and would probably succeed. This guy is a good pilot due to experience. He did well. Not a hero. He was doing his job. As was everybody else involved.

  • @costateguise Do you realize how hard it is to land a plane on the water without it breaking up?The success rate landing on the water is not good at all because you have to land perfectly so the aircraft does not split in two. Look at what happened to the Ethiopian airline in 1996. Captain Sully is a GREAT pilot and a HERO!!That man saved so many lives on the GROUND and in the plane because he knew that he could not make it back to an airport

  • That woman needs a slap in the chops.

  • It's almost an insult to Sully that she is asking such stupid questions. God journalists like her are dumb.

  • @azseal lol "so you flew the airplane? and then what happened?" "What exactly is an airplane?" lol she's so stupid

  • couric clearly needs her bag of carrots and juice box back

  • 07:33 - "I needed to touch down with the wings exactly level, I needed to touch down with the nose slightly up, I needed to touch down at a decent rate that was survivable, and I needed to touch down just above our minimum flying speed but not below it, and I needed to make all these things happen simultaneously."

  • One bad mother fucker, is he still flying?

  • I cant believe those questions..... what...... what.. do burned birds smell like..??

  • this is to who i call a pilot with 2 balls of steel

  • this girl is stupid

  • he talks like a James Bond xD

  • Why do you think this chic asks dumb questions? For someone who does not know nothing about flying an airplane, would DEFINITELY ask the same questions. What you might have missed words like, "You are amazing", "Oh God, you are fantastic".

    But agree, this pilot has some GODLY calm in his voice and attitude.

  • god damnit her questions are ANNOYING!!!!!

  • haha at 06:32 "no I did not" he actually ment xD

  • good man...i would be proud to meet him anyday...brave brave man...good on him. 

  • shit....mind as well ask him, "at what point did you realize you were in an airplane"

  • @l3utthead, LMFAO, brilliant

  • When did you realize (long pause) these birds had hit the plane?

    I guess that when he saw GUTS on his windshield??

  • That's THE man! And I cannot believe that stupid dumb questions that she asked him... All that crap with praying and thinking about the passengers and everything else...l am going to puke...

    But I admire the answers that the pilot gave - sharp and exact - everything is about knowledge, skills, 100% concentration and precision, and cool mind! And the chick was disappointed, because she was expecting fairy-tales and sweet melodramas for all the brainwashed dumb asses audience...

  • @bobs101

    I loved his answers though. He just told her, in not so many words but still flat out: 'No, I didn't really think about God or the passengers, their fear and their future grieving families. My mind was much to occupied with finding the solution to this very serious technical problem.'

    That's the kind og man I wan't flying the aeroplane I'm a passenger on - the kind of man who doesn't get all religious and emotional in a crisis, but who focuses on solving the problem!

  • awesome crew. Sully a cool dude 1~Luv

  • She should not be on 60 minutes at all, Go Back to the today show. Most people on 60 minutes are Correspondents Journalist.

  • The interviewer is like a robot. Seriously, this dude is a legend.

  • Nice interview Katy. Capt you did a good job and all that emergency practice paid off.

  • oh heo no!! this man deserves a better interview than with this bitch!!

  • bet they paid him a bit to get him on...hes prolly retired now lol

  • I'm sorry, but I disagree with the negative comments about Katie's questions. There are a few of things she needs to do: 1) Allow the captain to create a logical narrative of the accident, by asking the right questions at the right time, 2) make sure that everything the public wants to know is covered, and 3) doing it in such a way that allows the captain to be the center of the interview.

    Questions might seem dumb, but they get the job do.

  • @KryzMasta I agree. I don't know her but watching the interview was not a loss of time, and it might have been with the wrong questions and the wrong timing for them.

  • @KryzMasta WRONG!!!! "Do you think about the passengers? Did you at any point pray?" You're telling everyone that THIS is creating a logical narrative? where is the logic in either of those questions?

  • @walkinwithjesus These are questions the American people want to see answered. Anywhere between 58 and 82% of Americans are christian, and this is interesting to a lot of them. Also, as with a good Hollywood story, people want to hear the emotional side of it. She was hoping for an answer to that first question in the line of 'I wanted to save _my_ passengers, I felt a responsibility to them' or something. Great for the movies! [see part 2]

  • @walkinwithjesus [part 2] But you're missing the point: the questions don't create the narrative. As I said: the questions ALLOW the captain to create a logical narrative. His answers to those particular questions did exactly that: he explained he didn't pray, he had other things on his mind, and he didn't specifically think about the passengers, he had to do a job. THAT'S the narrative. Like a true hero, he doesn't try to overstate his accomplishment by making it a religious experience.

  • .......What did you mean by that?

    Come on Katie!! You've clearly been reduced to nothing more than a body with a mic! You can do better than that....can't you?

  • 9:57 I think in many ways, as it turned out. My entire life’s up to that moment had been a preparation to handle that particular moment.

  • what a bad a this guy is, talk about grace under pressure!

  • straight one word answers lol

  • "Did you at any point pray?"

    "No, bitch, I was trying to fly the fucking plane."

  • @ShieldWall76 I thought that was an incredibly silly question, too.

  • @ShieldWall76 Sully wouldn't say anything that declassy.....

  • @ShieldWall76 LOL

  • This is why I have faith in flying. The airplanes are designed for safety and most importantly the people who fly them are absolute professionals. Airline pilots have my utmost respect and deserve respect from those who benefit from their professional determination. Sullenberger deserves awards for his efforts at saving the lives of human beings. And yes based on the earlier posts why would anyone consider lady GaGa a "hero" next to Captain Sullenberger. People like THIS are the S&*&!

  • get this woman off the screen

  • Love you Sully!

  • "so you were going fast...towards the earth."..... -.- wow really?

  • annoying bitch that asks some really DUMB questions.....

  • the reason why the Ethiopan plane was torn to pieces is because the left wing was pushed into the water first which snapped off and then it went down from there. flight 1549

  • I wouldn't trust Katie Couric (or any womant) to even take control of a car that lost power on a highway.

    What a stupid cunt.

  • Comment removed

  • seriously is she invastigating the accident ?

  • When my son was given an essay assignment to write about his hero he chose Sully . The sad part was that the rest of his class chose hollywood actors and sports millionaires. How did our society get to the point were Lady GaGa can be compared to Captain Chesley Sullenberger ? Very sad....

  • @rohaymico Perhaps instead of sad you should be immensely proud that your son chose Captain Sullenberger. Of all the kids in his class it was your son that showed character by revering traits like Honor,Courage & Duty over money,fame &wealth. He must have a great father.

  • @rohaymico well said.

  • @rohaymico Yes who children choose to write about is the #1 reason for the worlds problems.

  • @rohaymico isee ur pain my frnd, but what can we do ...we r jus like this ,,,, hey u shud read bible as its the near of our time on this earth!!

  • @mysterio980 Regardless of what the religions of this world tell us to do, I believe that if we all treat our fellow human beings with respect and kindness, we will be fine. Lets all start a new "religion" that follows this concept of a personal responsibility to treat others like we would like to be treated ourselves. Example: Keeping this comments in this thread about the remarkable acomplishment achieved by Captain Sullenberger rather than negative sentiment toward the interviewer...

  • @rohaymico thank you, and I agree. Mr Sullenberger is a hero, I can imagine how he felt. And to think he saved them all.Plus the flight attendants, all heroes. Thank God for Cpt Sully! well done.

    As for Lady Gaga, oh gag me with a spoon.

  • Sully should be a new word in the dictionary as the definition of hero.

  • Annoying woman.

  • i am going to ask more inteligent question than she : did you actualy flyed that plane ??

  • @patko1610

    :) 

  • he wants to say "I just didnt want to die."

  • Comment removed

  • @taulomax12 lol i know wtf is that? like a 5 year old question or something

  • Respect for the pilot!!!!

  • this woman is on my nurves.. if i had a piano, i know what i should drop it on..

  • this mans biggest attribute is his humility.

  • did you pray? NO BITCH I WAS TRYING TO LAND

  • How did that lady get that job? she doesn't seem that bright

  • not to be rude but she sounds like an idiot

  • yes and where was the co pilot, drinking coffee? he does deserves a hero title as well, as he was the support that day. Bu tthe main character in here is the pilot, he is a HERO

  • have you noticed it doesn't show both of their faces at the same time.. just the backs. i wonder...

    FAKE AND GAY

  • *spotlight*

    lol not spitlight

  • how come they never have him and the copilot being interviewed. the copilot deserves some spitlight too!

  • They did, later in the segment, along with the flight attendants.

  • "so.. you were going ..fast..toward the..earth..."

  • why he did not advise the crew and pax that they where trying to ditch ? and advise the pax to take the life vest ? sorry for my english

  • @bandieraneravr (re: not advising of water landing in announcement) "

    How much better an outcome could you achieve?

    I've seen his remarks (but I can't find them now...) I think it may have been in his testimony to the NTSB, that in the very few seconds he had, he gave careful thought to his choice of words there. I won't try to quote because my memory won't do his testimony justice, but his terminology was carefully considered, and the result is clear.

  • Great pilot. He hits birds right after takeoff, and then crashes plane into a river. Don't hire this guy!! I kid, I kid..

  • They need to get rid of that bird sanctary.

    That is what I heard.....that there is one and this bird problem is only going to get worse. Sully is one cool hand luke.

  • WELL DUH!!! birds like pigeons dont help, they just poo and leave over 68 DISEASES!!!! And the bird sanctuary is gay, and why put one within 10 miles of an airport? thats dumb, but obvious since its gay bird lovers und tree huggers.

  • Sullys the man!

  • She asks so many questions about the fucking engines!

  • @popsticky09 You watch your mouth or I'll tell your mother

  • yeah, this is ridiculous.  I think perhaps they stretched the wrong parts of the interview.

  • Captain, you are a HERO !

  • Hitting the water was a hard landing. That was the understatement of the decade. You gotta love this guy.
