  • You know this never would've happened if the pilot followed his priority training and avoided the geese like all the other f**king pilots do!

  • That's what a battle hardened former fighter pilot does best. Perform under pressure.

  • @flawrey ok 2 things. 1. Your yt name is fucking retarded. And 2. Look at the vid again at 0:15 there is a tailwing you fucking idiot. And no I'm not mad broooo. Think before you speak

  • @corruptedlegion8 it's called sarcasm

  • 0:13 you can clearly see that IT WAS A MISSLE!! this video is FAKKEEE!!!

  • Good thing he kept the nose up.

  • Wow. Anyone who says this landing was heroic or something... wow.... were you hit on the head?

  • @Natvsnat1 How was it not heroic?

  • @Carnageloser7

    it wasn't heroic because any pilot could have done it.....

  • @Natvsnat1 Not any pilot. I agree any pilot would.. fuck it this video is retarded

  • @Natvsnat1 that was what the pilot said, he just kept a cool head and remembered his training.

  • pilots exuese: but i thought it was a boat!

  • Thank God for this in the name of Jesus!!!

  • Fancy a swim

  • RIP everyone who died.... wait a minute!

  • @VuDu4000

    Nobody :P 155 on board, 155 alive! :)

  • If he landed the head first, that would be a problem. Good thing he let the plane land on it's butt first. Great Pilot, I want him to take me around

  • Reading about this, and seeing it, has brightened up my day. Awesome piece of piloting, hope the dude that landed that thing received a medal or something heh, hell of a feat.

  • what was being thrown from the rescue ferry boat?

  • @e7573t Life Preservers

  • 5 ppl would prefer to do it with birds than with humans

  • christofascists got angry when no one thanked jesus :)

  • did everyone survive?

  • @blobgirlfuly 155 souls aboard; 155 lived!!

  • for all who doesnt know the pilot was Chuck Norris.

  • An american hero.

    You can be really proud of him.

    Greets from Germany

  • The ppl. in the plane must felt very lucky

  • Unbelievable!

    Sully can fly me around ANYTIME! He is truly a hero!

  • If I had to crash in a plane I would want it to be in that one. Way to go pilot you deserve a metal.

  • amazing skill by the pilot!!

  • these guys in airplane have big look...man....he land perfectly

  • yeah, you can only get that in new york. go new york!!! but i still feel bad for those people who had to go through that.

  • most incredible piece of piloting

  • amazing!

  • Wow that's just scared me for life.

  • That is remarkable. Planes aren't meant to withstand the force of hitting water at 180mph, so Sully was unbelievably skilled with a dash of luck.

  • doesnt mean he id ganzta...he know wad to do...but for me is unsafe to do tat kin of landing... :P

  • @rider5g yeah but he had a choice of either landing on the water or taking a chance to make it to the airport, his spilt second decsion choose the water.

  • Not meaning to sound disrespectful, but New York doesn't seem to have a lot of luck with Aircraft these days...

  • it is so amazing! How many pilots have u heard of landing/gliding in water and saving every single person on the plane! he will definetly be a remembered hero! They should make a movie about it....

  • Why dont they have floatation devices that release and stabilize the plane for as long as necerssary.....then all the passengers could have stayed inside.......they can put a man on the moon............

  • whoa ! he is a America hero ! god bless America !

  • Lucky it wasn't a big airbus plane! I wonder what happened to the plane?

  • landing on water is like hitting concrete till the plane sits the it an air tube till the compressed air leaves it a rock. (that parcialy floats)

  • Comment removed

  • Fantastic pictures from what could have been a tragedy !!

  • this came on a truck through my town yesterday i posted a video response

  • that would have been pretty frightening. Well done to the pilot tho...

  • Great pilot! God bless you!

  • hey stupid the birds wernt flying that fast the plane was and u cant move an airline jet out of the way that fast

  • Hey dumbass it was during takeoff! Apparently you have never been to the US or LaGuardia airport. It was during assent and the birds hang out at the end or the runway and get spooked , and the whole flock just goes skyward! Take a trip sometime to a real country, like the one that saved your asses during WWII or you wuould be sprechin sie deutches. you limey fuck!

  • lolz american birds hang out at the end of runways eating big macs and talking about which oil rich country they are going to invade next, they hear the roar of jet engines, see a huge plane then decide to fly staight up towards it lolz.Maybe they were canadian geese flying at 3000ft when homer simpson on auto pilot crashed in to them.oh and thanx for ww2 we were going to help you in vietnam then we thought 'fuck the arrogant cunts'

  • shut up and bye the way in british

  • Freedom of speech, i'm not telling anyone else to shut up cos' i don't agree with their view and 'bye' the way you're more gayish than british, coco.

  • Comment removed

  • Apparently the growing of testicles ( your definition: doing things because you can) is a good thing. You think simply because you can do something and get away with it at the expense of others that it's deemed right, though I haven't read the comment you are replying to so correct me if I'm wrong?

    Nationalism rears it's ugly head all over your post.

  • Gay + Gay - Brains = You.

  • yuore a soory case for an american......shouldnt u be watching fox news about now?........

  • yeah they tell the truth....like obamas a terrorist....now thats funny......

  • God bless the pilot for handling a criple air plane well. wish you live well over100's year.

  • one more, and isnt it wierd how they always have such good views for media coverage on the situation, and they always get these videos and shit like within 10 minutes of the incident

  • its funny how stuff like this happens everytime we get a new president. wierd eh?

    and it always involves planes for some reason.

    our government is corrupt as fuck, read the book behold a pale horse. makes alot of sense. and the author was an ex high rank air force officer, and right after the book was released he was gunned down in his front yard and ruled a suicide. i know if i ever kill myself im shooting myself in the back a few times instead of my head. smart.

  • right next to my house

  • His a hero (the pilot) that plane could have easily crashed into anything else had they stuck with trying to land in a near by airport, I was in a pub in the uk when i heard about this, but didnt pay much attention till when i got home and looked it up, just found this video today, and like i said earlier he is a hero.

  • Good piloting, my Dad is a pilot...And also a Terrorist.

  • You are stupid moron! I'm a counter-terrorist and I will shoot your father and you too!

  • I was obviously joking you arrogant bumhole. What do you think this is? Counter-Strike Source?

    Fucking ass-face.

  • Pooper head!

  • That's so offensive, you motherfucking turd.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sorry.

  • hhahah noo

  • hhahah yees

  • thats just not fucking funny at all....

  • it wassn't really a plane crash now was it? more of a plane skid/float.

  • shame he missed the buildings hahahaha

  • why didnt it sink?

  • prob the way he landed it or summing

  • good pilot

  • Yeah it help when you have flat water, and when you don't have some crazy motherfucking terrorists yanking at the controls... which is usually the case... these planes are designed for water landings.

  • no, they are not designed for water landings,. t his is the first time ever one has been successfully brought down in water and not broken up. this was a one in a million landing and that pilots is a miracleworker, his skill and calm can never be underrated, phenomenal. also, since it had stayed intact the fuel in the wings were the main reason it stayed afloat as long as it did, since fuel is lighter than water.

  • Yeaaa!!!

  • That's scary. When something like that happens you freeze right? the only thing that I hate is that me, you and everybody won't be as lucky as those people were if we're on a plane tht crashes.

  • titanic

  • lucky lucky people, not many people live to say they were in a plane crash.

  • strange this video didnt make the news. It shows the actually impact with the water. cool stuff.

  • wow...what a pilot.

  • crazy how perfect it was, they all just got out and chilled there, i bet you some people took there carry ons off the plane, i had worse landing on ground lol

  • rubbish

  • Jó helyre parkolt ... xD

  • they are so lucky they hit the water and not the land :S

  • luck has nothing to do with it.. it's called SKILLED PILOT

  • ugh.. fine luckily they had a SKILLED PILOT..there happy now? f*ck people always need to find something to argue bout.

  • very true!!

  • PKA19 your a fuckin idiot..

  • That is just INCREDIBLE to watch!!!! I have chills.

  • FYI Planes generally fly at speeds above 500 mph. A comp. sized aircraft has a turn rad. of about 2000 ft @ 15deg bank angle (with one engine, so moving slower). The average ht. of a goose is about 12in. in flight. So assuming that you could determine the direction of flight of a flock of geese from a mile away (which is nearly impossible) you would have only about 3 sec. to make a decision on where to go. If you made a correction moving that fast it could be bad. BTW great water landing!

  • hey if you want to see expert flying look my videos up! i flew a cessna at age 15 perfectly!!!

  • now thats just showing off lol

  • Shows how much you know you thick cunt. When was the last time you missed something at over 300 M P H.

  • You have no clue... try to fly a large commercial based plain before you talk stupid

  • And maybe you should learn how to spell PLANE before you talk. Stupid :).

  • PKA19 u thick bastard, go get educated numb nuts

  • Haha I love these people who say i need to get educated, cause well they have yet to provide a good reason why he hit a flock of birds and they just insult... (by the way if you can only insult it makes you look like the idiot and shows you need the education), but anyways ya I understand maybe if one bird caused this. But again it didn't it was a flock, meaning lots of birds and I am pretty sure they train pilots to avoid flocks of birds.

  • How about you go and teach at flying school, "well man, just see the birdies man, and like man swerve yer plane man, it easy man" you thick twat

  • Why should I? They already have teachers to teach it. "You thick twat".. haha.

    P.S. Take it easy on the mans next time, cause when you try to impersonate someone it makes u look like the idiot... once again.

  • You make yourself look a idiot every time u open your dumb fukwit mouth, by the way your impersonation of a really thick twat is flawless 10/10, jog on

  • PKA19

    Is a huge plane is not like a fighter jet, so maybe he didn't have time to avoid the flock of birds. Also maybe he was passing through clouds, so it would be hard to see the birds. And they could also come out of nowhere. They all right, you're an idiot.

  • Right so it is a big plane,but you people are thinking I am expecting him to make a U turn or some shit, all he needed to do was move it slightly a bit. And by the looks of it, it looks pretty clear. I am sure the guy still was able to see em but not take it seriously enough. And you agreeing with those people.. makes you look like an idiot.

  • All the pilot had to do was move the plane slightly?? Did it ever occur to you that the geese are also moving and where they're headed next is difficult to predict, especially when they hear the roar of jet engines approaching? How do you know the pilot didn't swerve and the geese then swerved right into the plane as well?

  • Thanks for bring up that point, and no I did not think of it, BUT I do believe flocks do tend to move in one direction unless of course another flock of birds come towards right at them or something else,like this plane. But sadly maybe we shouldn't be arguing anymore cause no one knows how what the pilot saw. See like I am saying when he was flying in his front view he must have saw some sort of signs of birds but failed to move. Cause I highly doubt birds would fly towards a plane.

  • wow.. The pilot is going hundreds of miles an hour, and its a FLOCK of geese, thats not to easy to avoid. not to mention the engines pretty much suck in everything that gets close to it.

  • PKA19

    Are you fucking saying that the pilot intentionally hit a flock of bird? Seriously what in the fuck are you smoking? Also read genec2007 comment, and stop the bullshit.

  • Well said Mate. Couldn't agree more.

  • Thousands of bird strikes by small and large planes happen every day... EVEN IN FIGHTER JETS!

  • 3 major airports within a 10 mile radius, the busiest stretch of airspace in the world and you want the captain of an airbus to move the plane just a little bit at over 500 mph. Its a 200 tonne Plane, not a Fucking Bicycle.

  • you gotta love it the two only people who got injured were two girls who thought it was a good ideah to jump in the water when it was -4 out side they got hyperthermia. but still that was an amazing bit of flying from the captian so credit where it is due. also the co-pilot gave his shirt to a woman after they landed because she was cold.

  • captain is hero!

  • don't bring your god into it.

    the pilot landed it not god!!!!!!!

  • nice landing... how does it feel to land on water??

  • god is good.

  • Hello America. I was an engineer for Airbus in Toulouse France. I know you Americans dont like us mich but at least we build reliable and strong aircraft- what about just a little congratulations for the facory workers that take such pride in their work ?

  • you do know that it was a bird strike that brought the palne down.

  • best Pilot

  • Those ladies on the plane went pee pee in the panty.

  • that is actually quite amazing to see, that would have taken some serious skill to land in water. imagine what it must have been like to be on that aeroplane, those last moments where you think your going to die, and then you survive...

  • amazing!

  • WOw!!! James Bond!!! Let's Rock!!!

  • This capitan.....Born to fly!

  • captain sully you rock!!!!!!a job well done sir!!!!

  • great pilot

  • Thank God for his Protection

  • hmm..ok. nice

  • wow awesome video...lucky people!!tanks god

  • THIS IS FOR ALL THE BIRDS OUT THERE!!! STAY OUT OF AIRPLANES OR WE WILL TAKE ACTION!!!

    birds, they r always upto no good. lol

  • Canadian trained terror-geese!

  • After finally seeing it, I gotta give major props to the pilot.

  • You are off track, my comment was about the government applying more regulations for airlines for bird resistant/proof engines. Now you are comparing an American pilot/plane to that of a Kenyan pilot/plane, where they do not have half the regulations we do. And as a matter of fact American pilots are trained to land in the water. You can Google it and read all the articles. Or I can send you links to back, that pilots are trained to land in water.

  • Great. Now the government is going to be all over the airline industry about making better bird proof engines, I find myself not caring the pilot did what he was trained to do and nothing more. Other countries have more airplane crashes than in the US, but NYC is now notorious for 3 plane crashes.

  • wat! yh we hear so much on it becuase its some news whcih ends in a good way everyone lived, the pilot did a good job, you cant train for a water landing, and if you see the video of the air crash on water in kenya you can see how bad it goes the engins dif into the water and the whole plane falls apart!

  • Wow, this has pyramid scam written all over it.

  • ;O ke impresionante, para mi ke aran pelicula de eso

  • the engines were designed to break off during impact if this wasn't designed the wings would of ripped off and they would all be dead.

  • That's not a plane, it's a missile, but this one was a dud. Those arn't people on the wing, it's camera tricks by the CIA.

    (arn't 911 conspiracy theorist aholes?)

  • No, they are not, but you sure are.

  • yea the pilot did a great job landing

  • collision with a flock of birds hit the planes engines thats wat made the plane go down

  • brilliant job ,by the pilot

  • the pilot got the last from the plane

  • what happened to the luggage?

  • Probabely still in the plane at the bottom of the Hudson.

  • My gym teacher talked about this the day after it happened

  • thanks to god and hats off to pilot and the crew. rescue effort was also marvellous

  • who do think brought the plane down?

  • when you're on a plane there's not much you can do in these kind of situations but prey and hopes the pilot takes good care of you....Nice job to the pilot

  • The pilot has been a pilot for 40 odd years (And apparently was a fighter pilot). So yeah, he knew what to do.

  • God bless the pilot that knew what to do in a crucial moment. Great job Mr. Sully.

  • the pilot did a great job landing the plane in the river without it crashing critically. He must've had some smart thinking, especially when there were a lot of people on board.

  • everyone is hailing the pilot - but what about the rest of the crew and what about all those like that Ferry and its crew who came to the rescue? - they are ALL heroes.
