Amazing story, but when every second counts It's sort of funny to see those dumb asses jumping off the wing. I mean who doesn't know that you only get 5-10 minutes in below freezing waters.
can you imagine if this captain didn't make a series of mistakes? they would have simply made it back to the airport safely anyways and nobody would know who this false hero is.
@johnnycanales1 the captain set the auto thrust to the wrong setting. the jet was capable of making it back to la guardia. but the airlines were on the verge of bankrupsy at the time. and if they had broadcasted the truth, the entire industry could have gone under! it was definately better for the media to make this guy a hero than to broadcast the truth. but some people (like you) believe everything they read and see in the news?
there is absolutely nothing easy about what this pilot did. If he botched the angle by just a few degress the plane would have broken apart. he landed this plane with great skill and kept his cool thru out the landing. he deserves a lot of respect for what he did.
that was an easy maneuver. it doesn't take a genius to make that water landing. i don't understand why they went "on tour" to promote their landing. it is one of the first things you learn as a pilot. I should know, I've simulated that over 150 times in training. you might want to call it "basic training" because that's what it is.
I love how everybody says this guy is a good pilot when it was basic bullshit that he performed.....to land an aircraft flat in the water is a cakewalk and if anybody thinks otherwise then your fucking autistic.
I took flying classes when I was 21 up till the age of 33 I flew. I used to land planes into the ocean all the time and nobody would even get scared considering they all knew that I was a good pilot
Get off this guys dick when you all know deep down that he has the skill of a mute
dumbass. you might have taken microsoft flight simulator flying lessons for that long, but you obviously have no real flying experience. go play some more WoW, middle earth needs to be saved.
@iPwNNerdz you really are a fool. if you really were a pilot you would be saluting your fellow pilot. there is a big diffirence between landing a plane that is designed to land in water and a jumbo jet you complete idiot.
@iPwNNerdz Planes do not land in the Ocean there einstein, there are waves in the ocean which prevent this, you might have been a great pilot so that no one would be frightened but, I think your language skills give your intelligence level away, Oh, may the farce be with you commander kirk.
To think that all this resulted from a simple miscommunication.
The Co-pilot merely mentioned, off-hand, to the Captain (who was a terrible show-off at the best of times) that, "It's impossible to put a plane into reverse," which the Captain misheard as "rivers."

@iPwNNerdz If you are 33 years old, why is your Youtube username "iPwNNerdz"? Seriously. You sound like a kid that just completed flight simulator for the first time in his shitty life.
Great landing.... You know, there are other people who need to be recognized or that plane would have sunk... The mechanics and engineers who keep these planes airworthy. Being a mechanic is a thankless job to be sure. Aviation is NOT an easy business to be in, pilot, crew, mechanic OR engineer.
Amazing that he got the plane down in one piece! What a pilot! Most of that type of jetliner with low slung engines would have just broken up on hitting water. He deserves a medal and a pension. A lot more than the bloody bankers do?
Der erste Fall, indem eine Wasserung dokumentiert wurde, den alle Menschen überlebt haben. Ich bin beeindruckt. Der Pilot hat seinen Job wirklich sehr gut gemacht. Und alle hatte verdammt viel Glück! Bis auf die Vögel...
I personally believe that the city of N.Y shuould place a lifesize (if not bigger) statue of Capt. Sullenber on the banks of the Hudson where this occured.

@paganspiritwolf That's not a bad idea. Maybe if we rewarded people more for getting things right, and acknowledged our heroes who became such by rising to the occassion, generations to come would follow that lead. (instead of rewarding drunk hollywood types...) If I have a kid, naming him/her Chesley!
@paganspiritwolf and the co pilot did nothing...oh wait he handles the flaps, trying to restart engines, and other flight checks...non pilots believe the news........sad..
@Natvsnat1 Yes it is the disparagement of something you yourself could never achieve.Which is what you did. So clearly you need to brush up on you word meanings.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No I was doing my early morning 4 mile swim, and I did not see a plane crash. It was all a set up done on a stage, it never happened, government conspiracy!
Intriguing.For it took the aircraft a few seconds after it touched the surface of the river for it to deploy the chutes. How did it manage to stay afloat during that time? Perhaps the pilot landed at such a perfect angle that it just skimmed the water till the chutes opened up? Extraordinary.
The chutes open up for people to slide down. They deploy manually when the doors open up. The aircraft is bouyant enough to float for a bit until water starts to seap into the cabin and luggage compartments.
as a student pilot i can say this is one of my greatest fears. i would imagine the pilot probably thought they were gonna die. amazing skill tho and obvious calm.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow

I keep imaning the pilot comunication to the passangers and to the crew, maybe it was something like that:
- Uhmmm.. guys.. excuse me.. this is your pilot..... our flight was fucked by pedges. No worries ok? I can handle this situation till the next river down there..... and, I am sorry to say, but I hope you guys knwo how to swin...
And on your left is the Hudson River. And on your right is...uh, the Hudson too...uh, If anyone's got to take a piss or a shit, now is the time, if you haven't already.

lets call it luck cuz oviosuly if it da water wasnt dere den dey all would of been toast but it was dere and i noe everyone would land it in water unless ur mentally retarded so dont praise da guy
It amazes me at not only the lack of your intelligence, but also that you write without having the slightest idea of what your talking about. I would try and explain the principles of flight to you but it would be wasted, your too busy rolling another joint. This pilot had seconds to make a decision on what he was going to do. He is an experienced Navy pilot and took the best option he had and without engines! ALL of his passengers walked away, how many of yours would have, you moron.
The real praise goes to The Lord! This pilot was in the right place at the right time for a REASON... First of all, these jetliners use engines that are tested for durability: designed to withstand elements, lightning strikes, and birds and still stay operational... the chances for this flight to have both engines fail is remote in the extreme. Combine that with a 40 year veteran well-trained in manuevers and gliding, a liquid emergency "runway"...
no, the real praise goes to the pilot who took his professional career as a pilot extremely seriously and was properly trained for such a situation. there's no reason to discount any part of this pilot's procedure to some intangible belief of 'a greater power' being the reason for all acts like these. shed that religious security blanket and open your eyes to reality.
also, please check your facts, jet engines are not built to withstand MULTIPLE bird strikes in a matter of seconds.
i totaly agree if u heard the blackbox recorded talkings with the control tower u would c how did the piolt replys as if hes goin to save these people not trying tp put them in real danger by accepting the chance to go back to the runway he say im unable i only got the hudson
How could something of this magnitude happen and all you all could discuss is gramatical rubbish and typographical error. My Naija people will say nawa oo we of this generation need to step up on our intelligence quota so we dont loose all our endowment and also have a legacy for our kids. Thank God they were all saved
Whatever you have to say....this was amazing...God..technology...luck...skill...all over the above...whatever the reason...it's incredible. Probably couldn't do it twice.
Haha, It cracks me up that you started a sentence with 'because'. That is not grammatically correct. Also, even if it was, you didn't use a capital letter. Another thing is that you spelled 'leage' wrong. It's league. Geez. Get a clue...
Because a sentence starts with the word "because" does not in any way make it grammatically incorrect. The practice is, however, often connected to the use of incomplete sentences. A big problem with correcting the grammar and spelling others in public is being wrong. Correcting someone and making the same kind of mistake that you're putting them down for makes a person look deservedly like a fool.
come on guys. the water was freezing and peaceful and it was easier for him to navegate without wind to manouver the plane in the right position. Pro vs luck
Come on man...first of all, yes you say he was incorrect in calling more than one aircraft "aircraft," when in fact he was right. I don't think you should be speaking about anyone's grammar or spelling, when you have exhibited incompetance in both those areas, with the addition of vocabulary. Here are a couple definitions for you-
Increbible. The only commercial airplane to survive landing in water was a Stratocruiser airplane from Panam in the 50s, flying from Hawai to Los Angeles, and this one. In other cases planes get destroyed after touching water.
No one died, Everyone made it out alive. The pilot was an ex-Air Force fighter pilot. Her ran up and down the isles to make sure that edveryone was out.
Any tube filled with air is going to float on water. I mean it was nothing short of amazing with this flight landing in the Hudson, but you had a very experienced pilot who had no choice but to ditch. Any type of landing anywhere else would have led to the death of 155 people.
Amazing story, but when every second counts It's sort of funny to see those dumb asses jumping off the wing. I mean who doesn't know that you only get 5-10 minutes in below freezing waters.

My Naija people will say nawa oo we of this generation need to step up on our intelligence quota so we dont loose all our endowment and also have a legacy for our kids. Thank God they were all saved

Whatever you have to say....this was amazing...God..technology...luck...skill...all over the above...whatever the reason...it's incredible. Probably couldn't do it twice.

Haha, It cracks me up that you started a sentence with 'because'. That is not grammatically correct. Also, even if it was, you didn't use a capital letter. Another thing is that you spelled 'leage' wrong. It's league. Geez. Get a clue...

Because a sentence starts with the word "because" does not in any way make it grammatically incorrect. The practice is, however, often connected to the use of incomplete sentences. A big problem with correcting the grammar and spelling others in public is being wrong. Correcting someone and making the same kind of mistake that you're putting them down for makes a person look deservedly like a fool.

come on guys. the water was freezing and peaceful and it was easier for him to navegate without wind to manouver the plane in the right position. Pro vs luck

Ok. He was lucky the conditions were perfect but, if he wasn't as good a pilot as he is, everybody would end up dead.
From the decision of ditching to the actual execution of the splash-land, he showed a lot of nerve and skill.

Come on man...first of all, yes you say he was incorrect in calling more than one aircraft "aircraft," when in fact he was right. I don't think you should be speaking about anyone's grammar or spelling, when you have exhibited incompetance in both those areas, with the addition of vocabulary. Here are a couple definitions for you-

Increbible. The only commercial airplane to survive landing in water was a Stratocruiser airplane from Panam in the 50s, flying from Hawai to Los Angeles, and this one. In other cases planes get destroyed after touching water.

No one died, Everyone made it out alive. The pilot was an ex-Air Force fighter pilot. Her ran up and down the isles to make sure that edveryone was out.

Actually he is right, aircraft pluralized is aircraft. I think everyone on youtube should just chill out in general...

Any tube filled with air is going to float on water. I mean it was nothing short of amazing with this flight landing in the Hudson, but you had a very experienced pilot who had no choice but to ditch. Any type of landing anywhere else would have led to the death of 155 people.
