ATC@LGA - Flight 1549 [COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT] (by Aldo Benitez)

[TheBorn2fly]

cactus is the planes callsign the flight number is 1549 so every one who is saying its 1549 actually you dont contact the plane by saying 1549 i know this because im studying air law and ground comunications at my local airport

[542401]

@aolambrose He had it correct, it was exactly the same as how the ATC said it and also how the pilots said it.

[Munki6]

The ATC sounded like he was almost in tears when he couldn't get a response. What a calm pilot. Horrible thing to happen to anybody.

[aolambros]

what the hell is your problem aldo, can't you write simple english? and it's not 1549 it's 1529 you deaf idiot.

[anisocoro]

It is interesting to listen to the pilot, who remained very "calm" ad polite in that troublesome situation

[cphaza]

who was the dick in the departures tower who asks "WHICH ENGINES?". What a dick! Just do as you are told and dont ask silly questions, fucking idiot.

[fsC130J]

chill dude, departure did a great job, how do you know how he heard that?

[markmimp]

all of them.... heroes

[folklus]

Very professional crew and ATC. The controller offered him like 5 or 6 runways in the zone. =O

[mickybadia]

2:28 is "go ahead"

[Miklerek]

1549, 1539, 1529 :D Which one is right?

[aztechiac]

1539 is the flight's call sign.

[synchroknight]

its 1549 actually

[fsC130J]

1549

[Arnal21]

It's impresive the formal actuation of the controller...

Hudson now have another bird...

[TheAvationist]

Departure should of got the point when he said where going into the Hudson, then they lost radar contact.

[Crashboy1024]

I think the controller was in denial. Having an aircraft going down on your watch, even if you couldn't do anything about it, is traumatic to say the least.

[ChesapeakeBeach]

@TheAvationist The guy is doing what he can. Good job!

[jimbobtheswede]

US airways and America west are operating on same call sign.

[Toulio93]

It's U.S Airways

I'm Sure

[rappinCheese]

wat airline is cactus?

[mack275]

America West.

[mack275]

Maybe U.S Airways...

Is America West part of U.S Airways?

[jpgee1]

America West merged with US Airways

[mack275]

Thanks

[Frabusne]

usair

[zazimasouck]

to prevent this, i believe every commercial aircraft should have ge90-115 engines lol.

[omar2726]

lol..Imagine a 737 with 2 ge90s! a single ge90 could even power a 747!

[P8NTBALL60]

was this the recent crash in the hudson by USAir A320??

[muzykniezalezny]

why are they making mistakes saying 1549,1529,1539... ? stress?

[angelfuree]

Awesome work by the controller. Works the emergency and the rest of the airplanes around the sector with few hiccups. Good stuff.

[kimcheemonster]

The captain is the coolest guy ever. In all probablity, everyone was slated to die. This guy is cool cool cool and lands the plane smoothly.

[capkangooroo]

great controller, he just managed the situation very fast and calm.

[mestanley14]

If the birds took out his engines, they're most likely splatter in the engines.

[pizani666]

what happened to the birds that where hit??

and the controller sounds like peter griffin of family guy xD

[spidertron99]

the birds met the same fate as the engines. dead.

[guajinais]

the birds were taken to the coroner for further investigation..others were tortured and questioned...

[mirchik2]

he called him 1529???? i thought it was 1549

[qckslvr]

In all of the commotion both of them fumbled up the flight number.

[minetruly]

I'll never get tired of the "He lost thrust in... WHICH engine?" line

[Maverickx89]

I'm wandering about the controller still talking to cactus1549 multiple times without reply.. And staying so calm doing it :)

[Title27GT]

He can't panic because he has other departures to worry about

[323Andre22]

WOW
