DId he land with the gear riased or lowered. I would imagine the choice for water landing would be to leave the gear raised to try and prevent disruption from the effect of the gear hitting the water stream. ALso you would want to prevent drag when gliding to your landing point
Quite a nice job by the pilot. They are lucky that NYC actually has rivers. What would they done if they were somewhere without rivers (water to land in)?
@onee Well, me thinks they would have found a nice piece of flat ground, perhaps a motor carriage way, and set the bloody thing down with the same skill that this bloke used in the river, eh?
@thedreamliner2012 You gotta be kidding me . Mate this bloody planes are not made for gliding , they could use 2 out of 3 engine , or 1 out of 2 or 3 engine to fly just fine , but once all engines lost and brake of the wing you'll lost are on a wing and downforce , and the speed is going down fast , you can't try to land it on any weid road u want . You need a 3 lane Highway to land it and you need a 1-1.5 km stretch of straight road and no cars the river was the best option .
@thedreamliner2012 Yes, but where do you find a place like that in New York City or around NYC? I am not from NYC, so if you do know feel free to reply.
@thedreamliner2012 Do me a favor, check the wingspan of a Airbus A319, then check the roadway width (can't go wider than that because of light poles) of the BIGGEST American highway, in addition, check the thickness of the roadway vs ground pressure requirements of an A320. You'll find some interesting discrepancies.
If you read the post that I replied to, I was speculating about what could have been done had not there been a nice, wide river to land in. That's all. If there isn't a river, I suggested that you can find the largest, widest road in view and go for it. I have no friggin' idea what your talking about. We're talking about an emegency situation with very little time to decide what to do, and your talking about ground pressure requirements. I don't follow.
It was geese and the controller did AWESOME... Sully would be expected to handle the emergency but not neccesarily survive, but the controler knew his business. Very impressive.
the rendition was just amazing. and both pilot and air traffic controller were very calm. this is how true professionals handle these types of incidents. Kudos to them.
the only reason the plane wound up in the water is because the captain made a mistake. the plane had enough power to make it back. but he set the auto thrust to the wrong setting. dumbass. putting all those lives in danger. geez! us airways has the worst training of any airline except for maybe aeroflot or air china. but the airline industry was in shambles so they made him a hero!!
@johnnycanales1 idiot how do you know if he is even using auto pilot? plus, one bird may not ccause an engine failure. But that group can and did. oh and also, it isn't the auto throttles fualt or U.S airways's fault.
@PikaDamos I said auto thrust, not auto pilot. go ahead, believe what you will. the world needs sheep too! but the captain made a mistake and that's why they wound up in the river. not because the plane was incapable of making it back. but the airline industry was on the verge of bancrupcy at the time. if it had been reported that he had made a mistake, the entire industry may too have wound up in the hudson. only makes sense to turn this guy in to a false hero.
notice how the pilot told them he says "yes" to teterboro airport when he already said he will be unable? then his answers are very short and he stops talking. The ATC was being annoying so he focused on a perfect ditching procedure. ATC didnt do anything but clog up the comms.
List of preferred places to land when in an emergency in order 1. Runway 2. Taxiway 3. Anywhere else on the airport 4. Interstate highway 5. Main road 6. Country road 7. Field 8. River 9. Lake 10. Anywhere else
Mate, he couldn't go back, he made a split second decision that he would only just make it, and just making it wouldn't be enough, he wasn't taking the chance.
He didn't really have enough time to get a main road or interstate highway cleared now did he?

I mean, I'm not trying to be offensive, but America has gotten some pretty good luck and some great stunts. Osama was caught, plane lands safely, we've got a good country with mostly good people in it.
Excellent reconstruction of this event. The fade in at the end is beautiful. This pays tribute to both the pilot & the air traffic controllers. Very profesional & in control in a very uncontrolable situation, God Bless.
I never flew in a plane before and i am 13 years old so im no flight expert but I heard a pilot say that Capt Sullenberger could of made it back to the airport if he turned around within the first minute of the bird strike and saved the very expensive plane. Why isnt anybody asking these questions?
@duncan7599 Because most of us are asking questions like...Who was fllying the plane? Did they get it on video?! No! Well how much would it take him to do it again? The fact that it happened enhanced our lives by supplying a heoric tale which is very popular with human interests. No one was really ever angry it happened...If anything they were happy it happened cause it was AWESOME....but sure you to your story of the pilot you tucked tail back to the airport...but i aint gonna listen to it!
I can't believe how calm the operator is!! Pilot: "We lost both engines" Operator: "Uhm ok..blah blah blah" ??? I would be like Whaaaaat?!!! oh noes!!!
@Benderrr111 That is why you are not an ATC. ATC has to be calm under pressure so that the most can be made out of a bad situation. ATC = Air Traffic Controller
usa cocksuckers need the faces smashed you are allready fucked so just wait sit there eat mcdonalds allday the next atack wont come from the "evil taliban".comes from chemical weapons new top secret introduced on the import so you will be feeling based silent death and cant do shit about it because your too subordinated i just say you dont manufacture/produce shit yourself because most ameritards are lazy and cant do propper work or the other reason they aretoofucking stingy to pay real wages!
Lots of you guys are speculating how as soon as air control asks what they want to do and the pilot says"We want to land in the Hudson", you don't realise that the person who made this video cut a little bit out. Also there weren't as many birds as shown in the video, and imagine what must be going through the sir controls guys mind. No trolling intended.
The airtraffic control person just doesn't seem to get it when the pilot says he's going to land in the hudson. He no doubt needs to get the wax out of his ears!!
Eu pousei o Avião no Rio Hudson pode ter sido perigoso mas conseguimos aterrar como um barco na água , havia muitas pessoas que quando sairão do avião ficaram contentes por estarem vivos , mas eu fui considerado um herói por aquela aterragem.
Apparently what the pilot did was nothing short of a miracle, i've no interest in flying & such but supposedly everything had to go right for nobody to be injured & the odds against him were astronomical
If I were him, I would basically say "WHY DONT THESE PLANES HAVE PARACHUTES?" he said "Were gonna be in the hudson" as this happens all the time. amazing he went through the plane 2 times? I think to make sure all the people were saved.
@NotStoopid0228 I know! Yet, he reacted cold-bloodedly (can one say that?) which is why no one died in the ditching... Had I been the pilot, I would've probably asked: "Alright so where's the nearest parachute?"
They didn't get far at all. The plane took off from La Guardia Airport then the plane hit a flock of geese and then pilot decided to make an emergency landing into the Hudson River.
@jonbobizal A plane lost thrust in both engines due to birds in January of 2009. The pilot had to land in the hudson river. It's kind of obvious what was happening...
The only religion that uses God's name Jehovah and tells of a resurrection of loved ones in an incoming new world order where sadness is finally gone. Thank you
I am so so so sick of people calling him a hero. HE IS A PILOT. HIS JOB IS TO FLY THE PLANE. What was he meant to do when the birds hit? "Oh, can't land now, I'll just give up!" NO. If he chopped off a leg to replace the blade in the engine or ANYTHING that went beyond his call of duty, yeah, that is heroic. He was just being a pilot!
he truly is a hero because some pilots would think i can make this with this altitude and kill every person on the plane crashing into a building. and if you notice he does the landing on the river just like he was landing on a runway that is a hard thing to think of in a situation where a plane is going down. the passengers were probably in a panic yelling were gonna die yet he stayed calm like he is supposed to do i would like to see you land a plane on a river with no engines
makes us all proud now that the second coming of Christ has now occured...good lord with this guy...he did his job abd is all...now everyone clean up our puke already...worshippers...oy!
you must land the plane of the water with nose up exactly 13 degrees and the wings exactly straight. when you do this the plane don´t crash when you have luck.

In aviation, the bottom line, is that the single most important piece of safety equipment, is an experienced, well trained pilot.

Well duhh the pilot is calm, he is trained to handle the worst of situations and remain 100% focused and make the wisest decisions. Its his JOB!

Yes he did his job, but it's not easy to belly land in a river with no engines and he did save 150 people so... Ye he is a hero

Sullenburger did a great job with being calm in this situation and make some great choices

I am so so so sick of people calling him a hero. HE IS A PILOT. HIS JOB IS TO FLY THE PLANE. What was he meant to do when the birds hit? "Oh, can't land now, I'll just give up!" NO. If he chopped off a leg to replace the blade in the engine or ANYTHING that went beyond his call of duty, yeah, that is heroic. He was just being a pilot!

@indeedso101
he truly is a hero because some pilots would think i can make this with this altitude and kill every person on the plane crashing into a building. and if you notice he does the landing on the river just like he was landing on a runway that is a hard thing to think of in a situation where a plane is going down. the passengers were probably in a panic yelling were gonna die yet he stayed calm like he is supposed to do i would like to see you land a plane on a river with no engines

you must land the plane of the water with nose up exactly 13 degrees and the wings exactly straight. when you do this the plane don´t crash when you have luck.
