Miracle of the Hudson Plane Crash | Engine Failure | Channel 4

[BlackCode92]

lucky man on board :)

[alpha18412]

DUAL ENGINE FAILURE CHECKLIST:

STEP 1 LAND ASAP. Thanks for the help Airbus Industrie.

[callmeadmin]

Plane flew through bunch of flying birds and got one or more birds into each engine. Thats why both engines failed. Simple as that. It caused compressor stall and flameout with broken fans heavily disbalanced. It never restarted in that conditions.

[foilseal]

@callmeadmin disbalanced? new word?

[SuperRetard22]

737 another crash in Lebanon. gaah A320 rulez

[aberbeklecker]

@ struckgold

shut up !!

[Struckgold]

It was a flock of devil birds sent by Satan but then GOD stepped in and said NO SATAN - LEAVE THESE PPL ALONE THEY DID YOU NO HARM and he helped bring the plane down on the holy waters of the Hudson.

[FunkyZangel]

Exactly, just shut up.

[Struckgold]

You learned that from Bill O'Rielly?

[FunkyZangel]

No. The word shut up came from him? Just stop making a fool out of yourself.

[Struckgold]

Shut up is two words. And people who say 'shut up' are usually rather dumb - as I expect you are.

[FunkyZangel]

Opinion much? Look who is talking. Saying shut up is just to keep someone quiet, how is that dumb?

[cooldit1]

@Struckgold shut up, just shut up shut up, shut up, just shut up, shut up...

[BeatleJBNBBJFKfan]

lol

[fachy1981]

A320 rules, Boeing 737 air-junk 2 crashes already in 2009

[KarelessKam]

god was looking out for all those people that day.

[cheburashka1326]

why them? why that day? what a stupid thing to say.

[Struckgold]

No - science saved them - Well built aircraft, well trained pilots, helicopters, boats - u could easily say the birds were sent by Satan but that would sound stupid - much like your comment.

[jonthedoors]

If that's true why did the engines fail in the first place

[harold562]

i dont get it, people keep saying they love airbus because the plane didnt brake, and yet the engines failed.... why did they failed in the first place! >.> doesnt makes sence at all

[cagedtigersteve]

They failed because of a bird strike.

[goldenchocolate]

it was a bird strike

[foilseal]

@goldenchocolate birds can't strike. they're non-union.

[harold562]

they? ... as far as i know a bird strike would only cause 1 engine to fail. a plane's engine should be able to handle the weight of the plane and support the plane until it can safely be landed in case 1 engine fails. the plane had 2 engines. a b757 took off after a bird strike and yet landed safely on the same airport. that just proves how incompetent the pilot was. he risked 100+ lives just to make history. i don't think he should be allowed to fly ever again.

[foilseal]

@KarelessKam is that what happened? was god busy during all the other plane disasters?

[beergut111]

everyone was VERY lucky that day.

[ericplayzbass2]

no they weren't, their captain was skilled and had balls, there was no luck involved at all other than perhaps that they were close enough to the hudson

[beergut111]

so what if this happened on takeoff from denver? a skille d captain would belly it into a field? i dont think so.

the pilots did their job, but there was an incredible amount of luck, or random chance if you wanna call it that. Ive flown for the airlines for 35+ years, that was pretty lucky.

[foilseal]

@beergut111 what day?

[beergut111]

@foilseal the day this happened

[TBAGHennin]

they should make an engine release system for the use of crash landings. In water the plane would just glide on the surface.

[gary747pilot]

haha im Raum im Deutsch sprechen Deutsch und man kann

[Zieji]

was soll das heißen?

[GhaiSaksham]

ur fucking stupid

[lauralush04]

In a plane water landing its a 50/50 chance of survival, it can go right, or it can go wrong. If you were on this plane i think u would have appreciated this pilot for saving your life and all the other passengers. this took bravery, courage, brains and this pilot is a true hero nomatter what anyone says. Lets face it, how many people in the world could do that????

[sonnysingh03]

i could its was not exactly hard to land it all depends on the situation were you are and who you are. the only thing h controlled was speed and the angle of contact not verry hard at all but im not saying being put in that situation is a walk in the park. those pilots kept it cool

[lauralush04]

The only thing he controlled was speed and angle??!!!!

Listen to the pilot talking here everyone......

If thats all it takes to become a pilot I think we would all be in that job dont u ???!!!!

[sonnysingh03]

shat ap u nooooob if u dont know nothing about flight ask questions in stead ure not clever at all

[sonnysingh03]

Lmao lauralush thinks shes got what it takes to fly a fully loaded a320 in one of the most busiest airspaces in the world lmao. wrong speed wrong angle of approch = plane breaks up tail rips off most people die woman

[lauralush04]

ah ha!!! u strange wee charactor!!!!!

[sonnysingh03]

yes strange wee charactor lmao, you sound verry proffesional

[lauralush04]

LOL thats the n.ireland talk i suppose . proffesional??? LOL i take it ur taking the piss with the spelling lol

[fayik123]

he must of put it down on the water with a very high angle of attack to toucdown as slow as possible. It would be interesting to see the touchdown on the water for training purphouses. No disrespect

[brenoribeiro2007]

Ok, no very high angle of atack bs at all, it needs to go like a regular landing, flaps, pitch, speed all as usual except for gear.

[sonnysingh03]

not it is not just like a normal landing geesh some people its all about a different angle and approarching the water at a lower speed that you would land on a normal landing. and im pretty sure thery didnt ise flaps or spoilers for landing in the water

[galinuas]

There is a video of the touchdown. 'raw audio: hudeon place tapes released' I think.

[fayik123]

had he not of been over water what woudl of happened.

[keithdenny17]

why dont they just put heavy metal screens on the engines so that nothing will get in them

[cjunk351]

LOL, so then we just have steel mesh getting sucked into the engines. :)

[xtom1973]

there is no way to put anything in front of the engines to avoid something sucked in because of the massive airflow and airspeed. remember this are very high power jet engines. plus small birds or other things can do damage too, so the material had to be dense and would decrease the airflow and power... no way.

i think the question is not to laugh about.

[richigham]

erm... what was the miracle exactly? just a big glider..people do it as a hobby. second, surely landing in water is better than smashing down on the city. credits to pilots yes, miracle....nah

[xtom1973]

most water landings end in crashes. the jets are very close to the water. if one engine hits the water to early, if there is only a little bit off left or right, it will break the plane into pieces. water is very hard.

[Y81FlyinSparks]

the miracle was in the angle of impact onto the water the odds of getting it right are 1 in a million,

1)too horizontal the engines scoop up the water, the nose crashes down onto the water = breakup of plane or sending the aircraft straight underwater

2) too vertical the tailplane strikes the water first ripping it off and leaving a gaping hole for the aircraft to fill up with water after it also comes crashing down onto the surface

in my opinion it was luck an a very skilled professional pilot

[Outlaw1257]

I think that Captain Sully's expertise as a glider pilot played a key role in the execution of this controlled crash. His glider experience is not something that all pilots have..... even the seasoned professional pilots.

This was a situation where virtually everything had to go right, with no measurable margins for error.

[champ2day]

Water landings dont usually result in catastrophe stop making things up!

[hunny1967]

Yes they do you stupid person. tell you what..see if you can research more than google offers & get back with your results,,now I understand the saying stupid people should not breed..your an example of that one!

[champ2day]

apollo 13 was impressive, this is some dude flying into a river.

[GrimaldiCraft]

lol your awesome

[hunny1967]

i doubt very seriously if the pilot & survivors care much for impressing you. sheesh..god all mighty..help the human race lord!

[sportlover321]

you dont think this is impressive

[pompeyguy26]

subscribe to me

[KrazyAnimeKitten]

did she just say 'when disOIster struck flight 1549'?

[majwinterse]

Must have taken terrific skill to pull of a crash landing like he did.

[fantasia33884]

This guy can fly me anywhere. What a pilot

[nichic96]

I should show this to my friend whos flying off the new-york in a few day...just to freak her out ;)

[k9j]

haha.. she ever flown before? it would freak me out if it was my first

[nichic96]

A few times but its her first flight to America

[daughtrylover4]

ya thats a good idea lol

[aviationwatcher33]

I would like to see all of this but I am in the US. Channel4, I cannot find a link on your site to watch this.

[retardnumberone]

try 4od

[aviationwatcher33]

Thank you. Tried to install 4od, will not let me. Probably since I'm in the US.

[KabbishComics]

yeah get 4oD should work

[aviationwatcher33]

Thanks. The problem I'm having on the Channel 4 site is that I get this message: "You need to be within the UK or the Republic of Ireland to watch Channel 4 programmes." So it appears I am unable to watch it. I just hope it airs in the US at some point.

[fantasia33884]

Google it. 'UK Channel4'
