Coast Guard footage of U.S. Airways flight 1549

[giblet76]

nice editing job... you could chop off the first 2 MINUTES of this when nothing's happening...

[crazyavery4444]

OMG they are not the twin towers dumbfucks. they are the warren towers

[joeyissoweird]

Now lets save this video onto the computer before retards from funny video sites come and watermark this and we'll never find this video clean again.

[bluebay700]

Good job to the pilot and crew. They're all lucky.

[saigonpunkid]

If there is a footage of this, then why no one ever saw the plane that crashed into the Pentagon?

[Fredjoe5]

They're called eyewitnesses, idiot. Go read their testimonies....Jeez...

[n14e5o15]

WHY HAVE THEY EDITED THE TWIN TOWERS BACK IN LOL?//? o_O

[velcroboy60000]

Dude.... that's just awesome. Haven't there only been... like, only 3 successful landings in water by passenger aircraft like this in the history of flight? They ought to give the guy who flew that plane the metal of freedom or something!

[piegangster]

i think this is a fake video cause look there the twin towers in the background

[modernmidnight]

Fucking stupid shit. Were the twin towers fucking black? Also were they just a bit fucking taller then the rest of the buildings. Thats my dads office building.

[StringsCrusader]

lmao.. you sir, are a douche. I'm Canadian and I even know that those aren't the twin towers...

[joeyissoweird]

You fucking retard.

[blakmanta]

You too?

How many people seem to see Twin Towers everywhere?!

[SAMMYJS991]

I have, just ask a good looking hottie to raise her shirt.

[WolfDream0xo]

Ok, I jus happen to be near,best comment I heard from non passenger.."Geez I wonder if they had a lay-over in jersey?" Thats the ny humor deal with it.Let it go!

[eastbaywatch]

Air crews are trained to attempt to land near boats in the event of a water ditch, so the passengers can get rescued quickly. In this case, the pilot did a great job in making sure the plane ended up near the ferries--well done!

[citygreen612]

a big salute to the pilots!!!!!!!!

[kbisp]

great job by the ferriecrewmen..! Nobody seems to be recognizing their effort

[catscantfly]

FAKE.

[animeonperseest]

CAKE

[trozza]

He still might get fired though, don't know exactly what happened until the investigation has been concluded.

A similar accident happened previously (few years ago) where it was thought the pilot had amazing skills, turned out after the investigation (few months) he caused the problem in the first place, as in if it wasn't for his actions the plane wouldn't have been placed in a situation where he had to rescue it.

[naughtyoz]

so glad they all been saved.

[Lalifeguards]

You can see a man fall off the right wing at 3:32:12PM (3:12 on the video counter). A man standing next to him pulls him out.

[ruwenv]

Kudos to the Pilots for safe landing and evacuation of passengers despite loss of both engine due to bird strike and to U.S. Coast Guard for their timely and professional handling of the accident..

[NauticalFILMS]

pilot might get fired from his job. Did he get fired?

[bombur1900]

dorkwad, he's a national hero....no he's not going to get fired...

[NauticalFILMS]

uhm... It's difficult question to ask. We are in Recession. Some boss are aggressive.

What about the cost of plane?

[beeman17]

I never knew they were "floating down the river" until I saw this. I understand now way finding the engines is such a problem. Why didn't the MSM tell the story?

[MisPersonalityTV]

my goodness...

[lxlelpatronlxl]

lol at 3:13 one of the passengers falls to the water! in the far right wing!

[jleekoenig]

lol

[mattinjersey]

I wonder if the camera is controlled by human or by computer. Did it automatically zoom in on the plane?

[parallax7d]

yes, they program the cameras to automatically zoom in on any planes that happen to be floating by.

[Acronoscyber]

Finally some footage

[GoldenBoy0903]

And Guess Wat

Sucide Goose went in the engine and made the engine break.......

Atleast not many died and only minor injuries

and the sucide geese is real story

[tishop2]

suicide goose?

murdered geese, lucky humans, more like (i.e. most mankind don't give a flying sh*t for anything but him/herself).

[mikew3st]

This is amazing, wow, just wow...

[detachedmind]

Looking at the time stamp on the video the plane came to rest at 3:31:10, almost everyone appears to be out of the plane at 3:32:45, and the first ferry arrived at the plane at 3:35:00 (the current almost pushed the plane into the ferry). Almost incomprehensible that it happened so fast and efficiently.

[detachedmind]

The plane in the background at 8:48 is a concorde on display at the Intrepid Museum. It isn't on the flight deck, but on the dock next to the Intrepid.

[fedorkleber]

I've never been to the Hudson before (or to the USA for that mather) but there seems to be a really fast current!

[Bangabalunga]

Thank god it was an Airbus and not a Boeing

[RaelB]

Yeah, a Boeing wouldn't have crashed, it would have made it back to the airport.

[fffreidenker]

bullshit.

[RaelB]

Dude, I'm a pilot, former military pilot, and ex flight test engineer (I used to test airplanes for a living). On the whole Boeing makes better and safer airplanes than airbus. You just don't hear about all the airbuses that fall out of the sky because of computer errors. Airbus being government owned, uses it's governmental powers to hush that stuff up. I've only heard he lost one engine, not both, so why did the plane stop flying?

[fffreidenker]

i bet you're an expert, but still: engine failures caused by birds are dangerous to any airplane, be it a boeing or an airbus.

i don't think that airbus is less safe than boeing. if it would be, it wouldn't be as successful - also on non-european markets.

[parallax7d]

msnbc said both engines were lost due to bird strikes

[olivier525]

Look at 8:48... what is that plane doing there on dry land in the back ?

[menehune001]

Awesome footage. Proof that the pilot's skillful landing gave passengers a chance to quickly depart the plane and ride the ferries to safety. Kudos to the ferry boats for their quick thinking and heroic steps they took to save all of the passengers.

[JDGillis61]

Whoever was piloting those ferries should be rewarded for their skill and get a medal for what they did. Simply amazing how they were able to move in so quickly yet so suddenly drift with the plane in order to rescue passengers without a collision.

[Bangabalunga]

it would have been sad if everyone was alive and safe on the wings and the ferry came in so fast to rescue and not able to stop and rammed the plane and killed half the people.

[Sharpy360]

WOW this is the best vid of this event!!!!

[robinrob2]

thank you

[pookiethelion]

Thanks for posting this - best thing I have seen on the whole incident. The speed of the response by the New York Waterways ferry (I guess that was Vince Lombardi) is outstanding - there in three minutes after splashdown.

[hpjim]

Ferry captains and crew were amazing. Incredible ferry maneuverability!

[dbondy1]

textbook just textbook

[brian72975]

Amazing. The heroism shown by the pilots and by the responders is something to be proud of.
