Sully Meets NY 1549 Survivors

[BrunaoJazzistico]

That was so fantastic. Its just incredible no one died in this acident. Congrats Captain Sully, all his crew and the rescuers.

[2020wonderbred]

Sully for president.

[BlueReishiMan]

When the lady says "I had no idea we landed on water, i thought it was on land." Was no one looking out the window as the descented? Was there any communication?

[thenekom]

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.

[snuffy525]

one guy says he will always listen to all preflight instructions, I have seen rapper preflights, I will stand up and plug my ears and close my eyes and NOT listen to it, and will stand up and make it known!!

[Benderrr111]

WIN

[staffsmole]

To any fucker who even SUGGESTS that Captain Sully isn't a hero, try doing this:- Fly a plane with no engines. Do it at low altitude. Talk to air traffic control and think of where to land. (The clock is ticking.....!!!) (You are getting lower....!!!) Try to re-start engines. (You are now even lower...!!!) Decide to ditch the 'plane without hitting anything. Pull off a perfect landing without any loss of life. You fuckers who say the plane designers are heros are talking shit

[TheGeorgecostanza]

@staffsmole well said bro! What this Captain did was nothing more short than off a miracle! Any morons here posting a thumbs down need a good punch in the head!

[Ethan2664]

Captain S. and the crew are truely better than any super hero. Superman , bat man, the flash,  etc.

[janssen70]

one of the real heros are the designers of the plane, no one gives credit to them.

they designed it for emergency waterlandings

[renehoyvik]

to seahawksphan: i would like to see u try. infact no i wouldnt, i dont have any statistics, but i think its safe to say that 99% of water landings resaults in fatalities, in most cases the landings are either too hard or too fast wich causes the plane to break up on impact. to say something like you just did is hugely respectless and to even think you could do something like that your self means you have a WAY too high opinion of ur self. please get a clue

[seahawksphan]

@renehoyvik i was being sarcastic read the rest of the posts before you tell me to get a clue :P you get a clue ... from my other posts lol

[katowsky]

Disgusting to read some comments of obviously jealous morons like the 123 foodsomething....The perfect asshole , useless , who try to exist .

[RenegadeReplicant]

That really cheesy blazing guitar solo in the background in beginning was totally unnecessary.

[costateguise]

This is pathetic. Im sorry but it really is. Let me ask you all a question. How many pilots have saved aircrafts, lives and disasters by safely landing the plane? Hundreds. There is emergency landings every week around the globe. Some not quite as drastic as this one however, these people took off from an airport and then had a bumpy landing in a river. Before being rescued by boats. It is another americanised totally exaturated load of nonsense. In other words america...something to put on TV.

[rosstotherescue]

@costateguise I see what you're saying...our media does over do just about everything, but this really was an amazing occurrence.....the pilot managed to bring the airplane down at a perfect angle, in an extremely densely populated area, and no one died. No need to be a dick.

[seahawksphan]

@costateguise phhh go fuck yourself buddy , ur obvously not a pilot or have any idea of the margins for error in being one so stfu and be all negative somewhere else

[123FoodFan]

@seahawksphan haha another american pilot wannabe lol Im not being negative, just stating a fact. That americans exaturate everything and anything to make it seem much more drastic than it actually is. Plane crashes and incredible events happen all over the world all the time. This one is no different. Just something for the USA to put on TV.

[seahawksphan]

@123FoodFan just stating fact if you had belly landed into a river like sully did im sure only a fucking asshole who knows jack shit would look at you and say "phh no big deal, "

[123FoodFan]

@seahawksphan Nobody said it wasnt a big deal dumbass. Its a plane crash, course its a big deal. But its not the only plane to have crashed and people survived. So stop licking its arse cos you think it is. USA exaturate everything!!!

[seahawksphan]

@123FoodFan so what your point that planes crash all the time ? and that this one is no different k...? what does that have to do with him having a slim margin for error what ever else i said to costa guy ?? i dont know why you would reply to me and say im an american pilot wanna be ? first you say its EXAGGERATED and now you say that you didnt say it wasnt a big deal that it wasnt as drastic ?

keep pointless comments to yourself

[123FoodFan]

@seahawksphan Stop trying to confuse everything to get your crap point across. PLANE CRASHES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME...THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES WHEN THE PILOT HAS SLIM MARGIN FOR ERROR. FLYING A PLANE FULL STOP IS A JOB WITH SLIM MARGIN FOR ERROR! THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THE 3000 STORIES THAT HAVE ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. BUT BECAUSE ITS AMERICA....ITS SOMETHING SPECIAL. NO, ITS REALLY NOT. THAT IS MY POINT.

[seahawksphan]

@123FoodFan and thats what i thought , which gives me telling you to go fuck your own face a lot more validity :)

[seahawksphan]

@123FoodFan this doesnt empress me gimme a call when he does something special this is just standard everyday occurance guy doesnt deserve to be called heroic he deserves to get slapped for thinking that he was good pilot even .. i could have done that belly ditch no problem i mean cmon its not a big deal guys stop exaggerating this story just to make an average pilot feel above average FACT :P

[EmpusaOfficial]

Despite any media dramatization, this is in fact a remarkable and profound story of people coming together to help each other out.

[phyllisfiredwards1]

IT IS TOTALLY AMAZING THAT THIS TOO HAPPENED IN NYC! and THANK GOD FOR THAT! FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

1. THAT THEY HAVE THE RIVER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT HUGE CITY!

2. THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE RESUERS THAT HAVE SAVED LIVES THERE FOR DECADES AND

3. THAT AFTER 9-11, I AM SURE THAT WHEN THE EVENTS WARRANTED A RESCUE FOR SURVIVORS. GOD SAID. "IT HAS TO BE IN NYC!'

AMAZING INDEED! miracle on the Hudson, you bet!!!!

[snoozer998]

This is the first I've heard of Ed McDonald. Yet another unknown name in this incredible story. Good job my friend.

[undertakrer]

great story for final destination movie4 except no body dies in this one

[Docentino]

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.

[po58dvn]

@Docentino the only Britney you would have the slightest appreciation for is Spears you Knob Jockey......why not leave the comments for the grown ups and go back to your Bad Grammer and Bad choice of Music Ms Spears?....That says it all really doesnt it?.........You are part of the Overgrowding problem on this planet so do yourself a favour and cut yourself a new one......Ps Leave that Crack-Pipe alone its messing with your head!

[po58dvn]

@Docentino Cant you understand Plain English you Fucking DipStick?

[Docentino]

@po58dvn: Not when it comes from a retard with "Bad Grammer" (sic!) Let me repeat: You don't make any sense, kid! You must be somehow mentally disturbed or intoxicated (probably both). You're confusing me with someone I'm not, and attacking me as such. If that's not stupid, than what is? Fucking lunatic...

[po58dvn]

@Docentino i think you will find that your the one who is fueling the argument so i will leave you to your very sad and very deluded world..........i only wanted to watch this video posting to inspire me and to realise that Mankind can be such a wonderful Creature but with your comments it just makes you come to an understanding that the otherside of the coin is so obvious in this world........The Small Minded and Uneducated that bring this Planet to its Knees Every single Day!

[Docentino]

@po58dvn: "fueling the argument"??? WTF are you talking about. There never was any argument! You're just a dumb kid who thinks it's fun to mess with ppl online. Well, you had your fun...so I say: fuck off now, kid! Go back to your miserable life. And don't ever try to involve me into your stupid, petty lifeless shit of a life, ever again.

Over and Out!

[po58dvn]

@Docentino Your a Big Steaming BallBag!.....Enough Said!

[Docentino]

@po58dvn: Yes, You definitely said enough... (that was the last time I had ever let a douchebag waste my time)

[Penhappy101]

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.

[loadead1]

@Penhappy101 I have always wondered that, why dont they cover the intakes wth a wire mesh? LoL!

[cyrilmonton]

captain sully is the best pilot eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cyrilmonton]

that was amazing

[LTV249]

Thank You everyone!!!!!!!!!!

[po58dvn]

a disaster breaks down all race issues,,,,,if your in the hudson and your going to die you would love any race of person who came and saved you and your child.......iraq,black,white,a­merican or from planet mars you only know they saved your life......we can learn alot from that.

[Docentino]

You've come up with a couple new "races" there. Very interesting... Do you even know what a race is?

[po58dvn]

@Docentino i know that there is only ONE race and that is the Human Race.....i get the feeling you have a diffrent idea as you strike my as a trouble making small minded human being that loves war and destruction......so for that reason i pity you......now off you go back into the hills and polish your big gun and rape those pigs Boy!

[Docentino]

That's a lot of assumptions you sucked out of your ass there - all of them missed. Considering that you'd base those on me simply pointing out your ignorance, I feel I need to ask: Are you high? Or just plain stupid?

[Docentino]

FYI: "Human" is not a race either you dumb cracker. Neither is "iraq" or "a merican" (sic). Get it straight. Your ideas may be on the right side, but it doesn't matter if one is as dumb as you prove to be.

[X13CDX]

Captain Sully.. what an incredible man.. Not only his calm, skill in saving the plane and all on board under such immense pressure.. bt his grace and intellect in all of his interviews, and responses to questions.. I look up to and idolise him.. an incredible human being.

[Penhappy101]

He is amazing, wonderful, intelligent, & calm but you idolize him?

[BlueReishiMan]

@X13CDX True, as if the fame didn't go to his head and make hime weird

[delise54]

A most amazing man and crew.

[Outlaw1257]

As humble and unassuming as he is amazing!!

[34D2234]

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 .

[boaterbil]

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

[34D2234]

hes a comedian, actor, played in a ton of comedy's and blockbuster movies from 1968 to present, jim carey isn't nowhere near being in his league as a funnyman.

[tickle2012]

Who's steve martin that he mentioned at the end?

[drumsrock2]

The actor. He did a thing on Letterman.

[somepaperbag]

amazing job he did. respect.

[godlike51]

Forget music, sport and movie star "heros"....Mr. Sullenberger and his crew are the REAL deal...

[joyville2]
