That was definitely a decisive landing, and evidence why the passengers experienced secondary collisions. Whether by choice or not, I suspect the aggressive touch-down mitigated the disruptive impact of the engines on fluid dynamics, preventing it from yawing, rolling, or turning as it de-accelerated. Great piloting!
A very good maneuver for an aircraft with engines fitted below the wings, but also, most of the ditching manuevers ever made have been on the sea, a very dangerous enviroment compared to the totally flat surface of a river. Also, we don´t know the circumstances of the bird strike, maybe they could have made the approach to KLGA again but they didn´t follow the right procedures...
The pilot admitted that both airports were unreachable. And even if they were, who wants to land on concrete with 2 blown engines and a plane full of fuel? Without the thrust there is no lift under the wings... It would have been a nasty impact from over 2000 feet and having to use take-off momentum to make the 180 degree turn would have spent most of the altitude.
Pilot is former Air Force pilot with over 40 years experience, I would have done exactly the same thing.
what you mean he didn't made the right procedures? if he had try to turn around, we would all die!! besides that, it was too low and too slow and that's pretty much more risky if he had tried to turn back around with two engines powerless. definitely this was a bird strike because we could smell the burning of bird meat!!
your dumb i bet you werent even on the flight...hate to break it to you but you wouldnt have smelled shit the fan would have torn the bird apart and what was left would have been incinerated before the engines flamed out
Stupendous; nice footage.

astrallove. try to speak with a little more clarity for the general youtube audience. This kind of tech-speak only serves to massage your own ego.

winter....
Don't let your ego get in the way of a dictionary, or simply asking about what you might not understand. Yes, that's very old world.
I've since learned the plane's trajectory and control input at touch-down was directed by computers. Now that's new world.
Pray for good circuits, passengers.

@astrallove You belive that this guy actually autolanded in a river?

that would've failed since it shows airbus aircrafts are still intact after ditching on water

Fuuuuuuck, i want that pilot every time i fly.
Did you see how smooth he landed that thing on water.
It was like watching a sea plane land.

it's amazing how a $5,000 investment in security cameras can really get you the shot of a lifetime.

We should wait for the investigation to finish.
An extraordinary performance anyway.

Geez, he made it look like they were just on Splash Mountain. What a consummate professional. I agree on the military training.
