  • that reporter talks soo fast

  • The Husdon River is an Estuary.

  • I THINK THIS WAS A CONSIPIRACY THEORY - THE CANADIAN geese brought the plane down, it must have been Canada that sent them in specifically for that mission. WHOS KNOWS???

  • To the pilot:

    Sir you are tuly amazing! you saved many souls!

  • i recommend a promotion for the pilot

  • Put a goose in a turbine engine and your finished!!

  • why he landed on the water? what happend?

  • Check this out, one of the survivors talking about the experienced and what he learned. ( watch?v=8_zk2DpgLCs )

  • Lucky he didn't have the landing gear down.

  • "No explosion, no fire..." Hmm, maybe because it landed in oh, I dunno, a RIVER.

  • its no fucking god that made that its the pilots that landed the plane you fool.

  • Obviously Canada needs to classified as a terrorist nation, eh? LOL

  • BASEGOD !!

  • My salutation to the brave pilots.

  • Tadeusz Wrona Polish pilot serach on youtube :)

  • i would have been shitting my pants if i was on that plane.

  • *Pilot when he lands the plane* I AM FUCKING GOD!!!!

  • @PeskyBadger92 Best thing about the pilot is he's humble.

  • blame canada lol

  • PILOT: Hold on let me finish my coffee ill land this thing in the river

  • Apenas aconteceu que o piloto estava no dia em que tudo dá certo na hora certa,,,,só isso..crenças não adiantam, e se desse errado, seria o piloto um bosta ????

  • I feel sooooo bad;(

  • I saw that on tv! Yeaim a new yorker!

  • i love how "canadian geese" are emphasized

  • Great pilot!

  • 0:20 in the Wader

  • No casualties? What about those poor Canadian geezers?

  • @scullyy So many pillows *sob* that will go unfilled!

  • RIP Geese

  • @BobDawg173 I think they should have drug tested every one of those geese!!

  • My father's very close friend wa the captain of this plane. They wnt to the Air Force academy together, I've Met Captin Sully a few times (Sorry, that's what we call him, we're like : "HEY CAPTAIN SULLY!" :D:D) so this was very scary when we heard of this. My father and mother were in histarics, they were afraid something happened to him or he was harmed. I know you guys won't believe me, but I tell you no lies. Captain Sully really pulled it off ^^

  • what is the airspeed of an unladen Canadian swallow?

  • I really liked the part about the ships coming to help. It's just that "OMG We'd better get there and help!' That's why this country will survive with attitudes like that.

  • Professionalism through good training, nicely done, yes, a Hero, no doubt.

  • It makes me chuckle how they point out that it was a "Canadian" goose (I know, it's the name of the species, still funny)

  • WOAH. GOOD JOB PILOT! I SALUTE TO YOU!

  • that pilot did a fantasic job! last thing newyork needs after the towers

  • We saw the Hero .

  • put some protective "net/cage" on those engines! hopefully that would prevent birds from getting sucked in there.

  • aww poor geese

  • So that's what they mean when they say "in the event of a water landing".

  • @ParodyBone Technically it would be a ditching.:)

  • I always feel better when I see an old white guy up front when I am boarding the plane.

  • @akmrmike

    I would rather see a younger guy who leaned to fly by the seat of his pants. I don't buy that wise old white haired captain like a father to his crew stuff, that is for tv ads.

  • 2 minutes, saved over 150 lives. Hero IS the word.

  • @Porcelanesa

    No he is not a hero. A hero has a choice, he didn't. It was a remarkable piece of flying combined with good luck.

  • @TheSpiritof1969 Your very precise comment made me laugh! I looked up the ethymology and definition of the word 'hero' in Wikipedia (just google 'hero'), and here is what I found : "refer to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self-sacrifice -that is, heroism-, for some greater good of all humanity". Comes from the root *ser = to protect. No notion of choice in the origin of the word! Applies here. Cheers

  • @Porcelanesa

    So are you saying professionalism and heroism is the same thing? This pilot was not out for self sacrifice, he wanted to live along with everyone else and the only way he was going to beat the odds was to use all his skills and experience.

    I hold this pilot in great respect he did a brilliant job but lets keep our feet on the ground.

  • Pilot of the century award

  • @mikesvideos97

    OK the guy got the plane down in one piece with a nice bit of flying but he was only doing what he was trained to do. My hero is a guy that landed a DC10 months before the Paris disaster when a blown cargo door collapsed the rear floor and cut all the control lines to the tail.

    Using the differential thrust between the high tail engine and wing engines he kept control and actually landed the plane.

  • i agree

  • It should've landed on the Intrepid xD

  • i bet captain Sullenberger would be pissing himself laughin if he read all the shit you guys wrote lmao

  • I never flew on a plane before and Im 13 years old so im no plane expert. But I live and was in school just a few blocks at the time of the crash. And a pilot told me that had Captain Sullenberger turned around within the first minute of the crash he could of landed safely back at the airport thus saving the expensive plane. This is never talked about.

  • @duncan7599

    That is simply not true. When a plane turns without power it loses height more rapidly. He only made it to 3000 feet so his chances of doing a 180 turn and gliding back to the runway he came from with a full fuel load was zero and all would have died.

    With light aircraft, which glide far better after engine failure, most fatal crashes when the engine fails at take off happen when they attempt to turn back and either stall when turning hard or hit objects short of the runway.

  • @TheSpiritof1969 Ok google FAA report Flight 1549 could of made it back to airport. The official report states that Captain Sullenberger had 30 seconds to decide to turn and land safely. Cockpit simulators showed 4 succsesful landings at the airport.

  • @duncan7599

    There has never been a case in the history of aviation where a jet has suffered loss of all power at 3000' after take off and glided back to the runway it came from. In this case the runway would certainly have not been clear anyway and there was nowhere else to land.

    Cockpit sims showed 4 landings out of how many attempts?

    Where is your evidence that any pilot in any aircraft ever trained to do a 180 turn at very low altitude after power failure during climb out?

  • @TheSpiritof1969 I am not going against Captain Sullenberger, I am just quoting the official FAA report on regarding flight 1549 and posted it on you tube. And Flight 1549 did make a 180 turn to land in the Hudson. Look at the flight path simulation, its all over the internet. Im not the expert I know nothing of planes I am just reading the FAA investigation report.

  • @duncan7599

    Which ever one of us is right the only thing we can be sure of is that he is a brilliant pilot and got lucky that day (flat water and no boats in the way) I wish all pilots were like him. :)

  • @duncan7599 Actually you are mistaken. Simulations were done knowing in advance of the bird strike and immediately initiating a turn back to the airport. All 4 were successful. When the 30sec delay was tried they all crashed. Since it would not be possible to anticipate the bird strike and subsequent and complete power loss it was determined that they could not have made it back to the airport.

  • @duncan7599 Also the NTSB validated Capt Sullenburger's decision saying that it "provided the highest probability that the accident would be survivable." Should read the whole report:)

  • @TheSpiritof1969 Actually the lift to drag ration for an airliner is better than most light aircraft (20:1) as opposed to about 12:1 for a typical cessna. They just glide at a much faster speed and therefor need much more landing distance.

  • THESE PROBLEMS WITH BIRDS GETTING SUCKED INTO THE ENGINES, NOW MAYBE I AM WRONG,BUT ISNT THERE A LIGHTWEIGHT TYPE OF SHEER SCREEN THAT CAN COVER THE EXPOSED ENGINE INTERIORS? STILL ALL IN ALL CONGRATULATIONS AND PRAISE GO THIS EXCELLENT PILOT AND HIS CREW!!

  • I love to fly, but I am terrified during take off!! Always have been. I've seen the videos of the actual landing from rooftops/bridges and it appears almost graceful. Truthfully, it's the most beautiful emergency landing.

    Captain Sully and ALL his crew are all my heroes!!

  • 3:00 Ocean??? The plane couldn't even reach la guardia airport in wich you have to cross to get to the ocean

  • skills :-)

  • lol. i know this is a big crisis but... a flock of canadian geese??? lol i gotta admit that was preatty funny... LOL THE PLANE HIT A FLOCK OF GEESE!!!! i wonder what was the first thought of the pilot when he hit geese... probobly, "and if you see straight ahead, u can see us a bout to hit A FLOCK OF GEESE?!?! SHIT!!! PASSENDGERS GET OUT UR AMBRELAS WE GOONA SEE SOME SHIT!!!!"

  • ala de rosado le encanta mamar la verga

  • @Cambrand I wouldn't be surprised if the pilot was praying himself.

  • @Cambrand oh please... Through pilot's hands God rescued those people. That doesn't mean that he was unconciously controlled by God, that sounds ridiculous :P people, who believe in God, believe that every skill is a gift from Father. By "gift" I don't mean something he didn't have to work for, obviously. It's too difficult to explain and yet so easy... Just open your mind and try to understand, that God's ways can't be understood by us, because therefore He wouldn't be God :P

  • @PharaHerine Please, don't post stuff like this. It hurts my IQ.

  • @PharaHerine You're an idiot... That is all

  • @Cambrand I agree!!!!!!

    

  • @Cambrand I agree. What about a whole lot of people who prayed but died anyway...

  • @Cambrand I bet you wouldn't say "F religion" if you were on a plane that was going down.

  • @meeshigansucks Why wouldn't I? Finding/choosing your faith in situations where you might die just show how PATHETHIC you really are. "Oh it's over, might just as well be sure so I go to heaven (celestial north korea) after all.."

  • 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."

    To think that simple mix-up led to this

  • looks like we have 6 bird in here folks

  • damn i wish all pilots is as good as this guy. id feel more safe

  • 5 people did not thank the pilot

  • @Muehlenmann ya there are videos of the actual landing  just none on the news it was all filmed by citizen near the hudson

  • fate 

  • He totally deserves that key to the city

  • I'M AGRRE WITH THIS COMENTS!

  • They have to create something new against birds that goes inside engine.

  • stupid birds

  • actually he LANDED IN THERE TO SAVE EVERYBODY

  • I really should be living in New York. Any crisis handled so well. What an immediate rescue. New Yorkers are just right on top of things. Over and over again. It makes me happy to see this. All these boats rushing to the rescue. What an incredible pilot. Like he practiced this before, though we know he didn't . How do you train for such a thing? You don't. BRAVO Sullenberger.

  • Bird Killers.

  • ALL HAIL CAPTAIN SULLY !!!

  • just armagin if it was a boeing 747 omg these pilots would have been BIG HEROS it was a boeing 737 they are still heros no matter what they are good

  • goood job my respect to such a esponsible smart pilot :)

  • That pilot should have a medal it is nearly impossible to land on water.. how many planes have done the same and not survived. I would hope to have a pilot as skilled as that every time i caught a flight... hats of to the pilot he's a Hero!!!

  • @basher177 seriously.... hats off to the pilot.may god bless him

  • i want that crew to fly any plane i go in!

  • Outstanding discipline by the crew...wow!

  • Outstanding performance by the pilot & crew..just outstanding!!!

  • Bin lading started training birds now lmao, what a tactic.. hilarious :D really good job for the pilots, creds to them heroS!!!

  • wow thank you jehovah

  • that pilot is wow. Incredible he landed on the water, this is just crazy. Sick skills.

    Respect.

  • That is a fantastic landing. Did anyone hear about that 767 that landed on the water near Africa somewhere, it broke apart but this landing is fantastic.

  • I live in the same town as this guy. I went to the Danville ceremony.

  • thats what i call pilot skills...

  • oh man... the people on the plane must have made so much money from US airways..

  • huh ... but they was almost losting theird lifes ...

  • It pisses me off when people say that this plane crashed. The word CRASH means to break violently with a lot of noise and damage. Here the aircraft simply belly landed on water with the fuselage completely intact

  • yeah i agree with J0Boa. that cant be called crash. Its a waterlanding.

  • a very talented water landing at that. ^_^

  • @nanisman55 also called "Ditching"

  • @J0Boa AGREED

  • @J0Boa its cuz they love to scare ppl to get more viewers. to them its awesome if ppl are in danger. makes me sick.

  • @J0Boa i know i hate that everyone says crash, he landed it on water

  • @jaywolflover It still is a crash, it was a controlled crash.

  • @J0Boa well the general public you know.... is dum maybe...

  • @J0Boa The word Crash. Means suddenly making an Impact. So the word was used properly. Doesn't mean that there has to be noise, or even damage. So it's a Crash landing.

  • @Cityslept It means to break violently with a lot of noise . End of discussion ! Google it !

  • @J0Boa

    a. To break violently or noisily; smash.

    b. To undergo sudden damage or destruction on impact

    Like I said, it means making an impact suddenly. I never said that YOU were wrong, I just said that the word was used properly. however you did say that it "ONLY" meant break violently with noise, I would have hoped that you knew that words have more then one meaning. Next time you google the word.

  • @J0Boa

    15.

    Aeronautics . to cause (an aircraft) to make a landing in an abnormal manner, usually damaging or wrecking the aircraft.

    Usually ... not always.... it's still classified as the NTSB as a "Crash Landing".

    So the integrity of the airplane was not insulted, why should you be? haha

  • @J0Boa The term crash is used when damage is taken, im sure im not imagining this but im pretty sure damage was sustained therefore it is a CRASH...... Look it up

  • i hope it will not happen again:(

  • Stephen Harper and the rest of our government needs to be trialled for attempted murder- TRUTH NOW!

  • ohhh maaan thanks for uploading that is was a good job of the pilot.

  • Thank God for these pilots.

  • yes i agree

  • heyyy why cant i read my commentss

  • hey dude your comments are displayed.

    dont write so much shit, that will be marked as spam

  • idiot i didnt it on purpose!!

  • oh maaaaaann thats really amazing

  • did you hear that? The plane flew into a flock of CANADIAN geese. No doubt about it: Canada staged this. Now we have more than just Middle-Eastern terrorists on our hands. I say we declare war. Who's with me?

    :P

  • i didnt understand what you re trying to say??? What do you mean by that?

  • haha I was just being a consipiracy theorist. Since CANADIAN geese brought the plane down, it must have been Canada that sent them in specifically for that mission. Lol nothin serious :D

  • omg what an a-hole

  • Stupid birds.  This is why we need to keep its population down. Next time we might not be so lucky. Need more foxes and coyotes to keep bird's population down.

  • lonelygiri haha that was a cool comment:D

  • lets get a Tube challange going, we need a device that will mount in front of a jet engine intake that will vaporize to near molecules any birds that passes through the device. what technology do we have know that can reduce organic matter to near molecular form in .0015 seconds? laser,heat,chemical? lets hear em.

  • yeah pilot1223 thats right. i tried it out with flight simulator x but crashed:)opss!!

  • hey man i also tried sea landing on flightsimulator but i couldn't so i got crazy grrrrrr

  • im sure that a lot of flight simulator fans tried that out:)

  • I cant believe that... thats a really fantastic pilot!!! maybe us air will take the plane out of the water and after a few days it can fly again:))

  • ahaha thats a good idea:D they should take it out and repair it:D like you can see the aircraft is not damaged:)) also jocking;D

  • yes its a compliment for the pilot i mean how much pilots are in the world to land an aircraft on the water? is right or not?

  • this sort of landings cant be trained and because of that i think that this pilot is a really god pilot.

  • I was just browsing through youtube

  • dont get me wrong.... the pilot did an amazing job... But you americans dramatise absolutly everything... all we heard on the BBC was that an american airways plane had successfully crash-landed in the river and that everyone had survived... and that the pilot did a good job in difficult circumstances and everything... and that was the end of it..... No Added Drama.....

  • Agreed. I lived in London for 2 months back in the summer of 2005. BBC focuses on real news. Back then, it was the G8 summit, Live Earth, and a focus on poverty in Africa. (The obvious exception was the 7/7 attacks, which they covered all day.)

    In America, the news is mostly near-trivial local stories (crime, fires, etc). Important international issues are skimmed through, not deeply analyzed. Many "news" stations even spend significant time on celebrity gossip-type stuff.

  • Yeah, I lived in London for a bit too and I agree the BBC did spend too much time on the boring stuff. I really only care about where I live. The other shit is their problem. Not mine. And celebs are just funny sometimes, got to love them.

    I hate all the reporting on the Gaza attacks. Seriously, who cares if those people die? They should deal with it.

  • You're being sarcastic, right? In case you mis-interpreted my comment, I was saying that I think BBC does it right, focusing on real news, meaning the important international stories like Gaza, not celebrities. And if you're not sarcastic, you're either a troll or you're the stereotype of an ignorant American. Good job.

  • The pilots deserve Medals! Amazing!!

  • 100%PRO...PILOT he is a hero 100%

  • wow ..

  • If you think pilot Chelsey Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger is a hero cut & paste this comment!

  • i like this pilot. he is a real hero. he landed u.s airways in the ocean when he didnt have a choice. that pilot is a real professinal. he is one of the best pilots i know. god bless him for landing the plane well and for the 150 people who survived the landing.

  • yeah the pilot is really professional. the aircraft isnt damaged and thats very surprising:)

  • Pilot is a pro.

  • are there a video of the emergency landing?

  • i looked at the news but i couldn find any:(

  • the pilot is a professional. why are nt any footages of the landing there????

  • i dont know but i think not. maybe in a few days, there will be any on tv=)

  • Are we in Charlotte yet? Um, there has been some flooding here?

  • the pilot was a hero

  • why is he a hero he is just doing his job any pilot would try and save his own life regardless if the plane was full of people or empty. He does get my full respect for his flying skills, AND DONT FORGET THERE IS TWO PILOTS THERE, THE CO PILOT ALSO SHOULD GET SOME CREDIT FOR THIS SAFE LANDING, AND CABIN CREW FOR GETTING EVERYONE OFF PLUS EVERYONE ELSE THAT HELPED.
