  • No MothaaFckaa He Didnt Pray... He Was Flyingg An Airplane Into a River,

  • A job too do

  • dumb woman interviewer

  • "Was that a hard thing to do?"

    "No, it just took some concentration."

    Good for him, he landed a PLANE in a RIVER and doesn't even give himself credit. I'm sure we could all learn something from that. I know I can at least. Massive respect.

  • What a dude

  • everyone should realise here that captain sullenberger not only saved everyone on that plane he also saved countless people on the ground by his quick thinking.this could have been a tragedy of immense proportions.

    captain sullenberger was the right man in the right place with the experience to deal with this.

    the word hero is used too often at times yet this man is a true hero along with his flight crew

  • Sullenberger has balls of steel

  • If only that Italian cruise captain had even half the strength of character this man has...

  • he's chuck norris's distant cousin

  • serious hero. and HUMBLE

  • surprised they didn't blame him - that is kind of funny...

    still waiting on the zombie apokolypse

  • @sirloin869 suprised no one blamed you for being ignorant and stupid yet, so I will. You ignorant scum, it wasn't his fault, it was a fucking bird strike you dumb fuck. "still waiting on the zombie apokolypse.".......(-.-).....y­ou stupid sorry piece of shit. Grow the fuck up.

  • This guy is the BOSS I RATE HIM!!!

  • Greetings from Poland:) great job

  • Shes so annoying

  • Seriously, can someone be this stupid and host a show?

  • damn she is retarded

  • Thank the lord for him

  • HERO!

  • American Dad brought me here

  • Turok asshole stfu and watch the video u ain't shit and your opinion doesn't matter bitch.

  • This guy is the MAN!! THIS GUY IZ THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MAN FULLY TRAINED TO DO HIZ DUTIES. GOD BLESS THIS VERY HONERABLE MAN! AMEN!

  • horrible job interviewing. she's talking to him like he's baby or something. couldn't even finish watching this.

  • "we cant do it " this guy is xtra cool , so calm and doin his stuff while the plane goes down , respect ultra plus aaa +++ !!!!!!!!!

  • if ill ever overcome my fear to fly i want this guy as my pilot !!!!! just gr8

  • The A320 actually has a button to activate ditching mode, which seals any hatches and openings on the bottom. Sully didn't press it. Thinks still worked out ok, but if he had pressed it, the plane would have sunk at a much slower rate.

    Anyway, it's awesome when great engineering and great skill combine. I can't think of any other case of an airliner ditching and not breaking up.

  • This guy remainds me of Victor Sullywan from uncharted:)

  • 6:38 They should make note, that this was a terrorist flying this plane..

  • Wow amazing

  • The 9 people who "Dislike" this can`t have been on that airplane! Idiots!!!!!

  • Respect to Sullenberger. When he was looking at her I could sense that he was thinking "are you going to ask me an intelligent question". She was awful.

  • Comment removed

  • I hate the way that America views religion. The news lady said to the captain did you pray, how the hell's that bull crap gonna help? The man was trying to focus and land a plane in the fucking Hudson river. Church and country should be separate, never in a million years would a British news report ask a silly question like that. I hate it when I here an America High officials say stuff about God too, it makes you Yanks sound stupid!

  • The next time you insult someone's culture based on intelligence, proofread.

  • @TheJordanpe I can't spell so what? All I was trying to say was putting religious interests ahead of common sense and science is stupid, which is FACT. Asking an experienced pilot if he prayed whilst trying to land a plane with no engines is retarded. Its like saying did you pray to Yogi Bear whilst trying to land the plane. I'm not belittling the pilot as he is obviously one in a million with his quick thinking and years of experience and because of him everyone survived a real live hero !

  • this guy is a hero, what a legend! but that was a shit interview on her part!

  • WOW! What an honest most humble gentleman & hero. He sure made God and millions of Americans deservedly proud that day.

    Why so many viewers 'bitch 'n moan' about the host beats me ~ but then, there are some folk who will ALWAYS find something to criticize ... and invariably it merely boils down to a reflection of their own frustrations &/or inadequacies.

    ~South Africa~

  • Captain Sullenberger is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO 

  • This man is my hero. He assessed the situation in around a minute and saved everybody on that plane. There aren't any people who could do that. The majority of us can't decide what they need to take with them for the day in under a minute, and he realised that the only option was to land in the Hudson River. I would love to meet him and shake his hand. Yes, there may have been more impressive emergency landings, but there us no way that you can say he isn't a genius.

  • She is painful to listen to

  • that women is so fucking stupid. If I was American (which thank God I'm not) I would be embarrassed by her.

  • @charlieeloise Don't blame God. Not everyone can be blessed with being an American. Being British, at least you are the second best thing to being American. Be grateful for that at least. Notice how I did not insult the British as you did the Americans, except by putting them one notch behind Americans on the greatness scale.

  • @jbranstetter04 The irony is....the only reason you Americans exist is because of the British. Charlie is right though you Americans do seem awfully dumb, no disrespect! Just my observation.

  • @microman780 I don't know what you mean. I see your words in front of me, but why are they there? Did they come from you? Help me.

  • @jbranstetter04 greatness scale ?? You think that GOD made you better? wtf dude

  • @PadovanandBielenberg That God blessed the United States of America, and through that the world, is a well known fact. But now the evilness inside of the United states has turned Gods blessings away. Will we ever be blessed by God again? That is unknown. All that I do know, is that as the United States goes down, so does the world.

  • @jbranstetter04 what i do know is that god is made up because people like you don't want to realise what life is and you are afraid of dying.. then you need to give your own responsibility to god because god can do what is right for you.. but one day you will find out that the only one who can do what is good for you is yourself and the people around you... thank your friends and be happy that THEY are making you happy.. not god.. you dont even know god.Why believe in something you haven't seen?

  • @PadovanandBielenberg I can believe what I want to believe and you can say and write what you want to. I am not afraid of dying, as I know that it must happen. Are you afraid of dying? If not, then we have something in common.

  • @jbranstetter04 Either you are attempting humour or you are a complete moron....any nation which speaks of being great or a fortiori being the "greatest nation on earth" leads to one certainty namely that they are hopelessly ignorant and immature and thus anything but but great rather pathetic. It is like some idiot movie with an exploding ego like Steven Seagal he is commonly acknowledged to be a fool...true greatness is recognized from without not gained through braggart idiocy!

  • @turockandar Jealousy will get you nowhere in life, or as a nation. You must except what is true and move on with your life. Not every person or nation is great. Some are just mediocre. What America has done for the world is recognized, but some will never acknowledge it. For what reason I know not, but it is a fact. Some things are just the way they are. You cannot change them.

  • @jbranstetter0I am American I am just embarrassed by idiotic countrymen like you! Many Americans are so insecure with the political identity of their relatively young nation that they spend a lot of time trying to convince citizens of other countries how 'great' they are. The ubiquitous flag flying in people's gardens, the myths of manifest destiny, American exceptionalism and all the quasi propaganda films that come out of Hollywood winning the wars that the US lost are all signs of a complex.

  • @turockandar I understand America haters like you; you are nothing new to me. Some people do not understand the importance of the American nation in how good the world is doing today. In a way we are a victim of our own success. The fact is as we bring more countries into the free world, into the American way, there is more demand for what we have. But not to worry, because in the end freedom will be the salvation of the world. The world can thank us later.

  • @jbranstetter04 I imagine that you may be very young and your grasp of history limited. After the second World War America's reputation was good and rightly so because she saved Europe from Hitler but after Vietnam it has all basically been downhill; the Bay of Pigs failed invasion, the complicity in bringing Pinochet to power, the embarrassment of Grenda, the illegal invasion of Iraq, the empty promises of 'nation building' in Afghanistan and the complicity of the human rights violations...

  • @turockandar committed by Israel. It is not by chance that according to a study conducted by the BBC in 2010 74% of the world's population perceives American foreign policy to be oppressive rather than worthy of praise. After 9/11 96% of the world's nations were with America until it invaded Iraq in contravention of international law. It seems that the US just can't get anything right in terms of foreign policy. I hope that America can return to a symbol of freedom and democracy....

  • @turockandar but it will be a long and uphill battle. The ideals enshrined in the US are lofty indeed but as long as US foreign policy is aimed at geo-strategical profit and sold by lies such as the "spread of democracy" the world's nations are going to continue to consider America as a bully and a hypocritical nation. true patriotism is, as A. Camus wrote: "Not the unconditional support of one's government's actions right or wrong but rather the courage to challenge what needs to be changed".

  • @turockandar Did we get it wrong by defeating the Soviets in the Cold War? Many of the things you complain about were done to win the Cold War. Many people of the world do not understand this, and they do not understand what they have gained with us defeating the Soviets. Out troops are now out of Iraq? I ask you, where is the oil? We have gotten no oil! We are gone and have nothing! Many said it was blood for oil and yet we did not take any oil. You perception is very wrong.

  • @jbranstetter04 The American defeated the soviets in the cold war LOL LOL My my what are a narcissistic view . Typically American .

  • @misteeq64 Thank you, as I am very typical. To prove it (that America defeated the Soviets in the Cold War), let Facts be submitted to a candid world. Wait, they have been. I guess you missed them. I guess you have your own set of facts.

  • @charlieeloise You could only be so lucky to be American.

  • @charlieeloise I thank God that you're not American as well. *woman.

  • @charlieeloise she is in the wrong interview, she was ment to interview Kate Hudson, and not the Aircrash in the Hudson River! SHE IS STUPID!

  • @charlieeloise She is not stupid, she just speak slowly so the Americans can understand her :)))

    p.s. oh, i watch the whole video...she is stupid like black hole :P

  • @charlieeloise

    On the other hand if you were American, what would you feel about him????

  • @charlieeloise It's her job to ask stupid questions. You would do the same if you were getting paid for it.

  • @charlieeloise We are...

  • @charlieeloise You just referred to a Woman, as a "women", which is the plural form. You also used "that", instead of "this", which is the immediate form and the correct tense you should use when describing a video in the comment section. Who's "fucking stupid" now?

  • he´s just a hero...

  • Swan Dive!

  • Sully is a great Pilot. I made the comment just to let know tha world Taca 110`s case.

    I am well aware of Sully`s flamout, and i must state this captain knows his way around, decision been made on such little time frame and under a LOT of pressure is what Sully truly makes a difference. nowadays we have great pilots dispite all technology advances. The difference is the human factor, and Sully prove this right. My respect to Sully

  • SHUT UP STUPID WOMAN!!!

  • Sully had it VERY EASY, he had no turbulance, no rain.. Want so se Real Hero Pilot, type on the words "taca airlines 110" and watch.

    This Captain landed in wet grass (came out of the rainclouds after gliding IFR. Came out of the rain cloudsat about 900 feet agl, did a perfect left gliding turn, aligned, dropped gear and full flaps, gliding turn it perfectly, avoided ditching in the Lake.. NOW who is better?

  • @fruizlopez It is not a competition.

  • @fruizlopez Its not even beyond comparison man!!

    Taca was at a good 16,500 when they had the first indication of possible flame-out and they had speed on their hand too.. Cactus was at barely 3,000' AGL and still in initial climb out so barely over the stall speed.. They had neither speed nor altitude at hand to have a second choice or thought. Its way different !!!

    How did Sully have it very EASY ???

    At 16,500 you can still steer course, at 3,000 over NY, you don't have choices :)

  • @fruizlopez i'd love to see you on this situation, ask yourself, how many people would you kill? This old man has a story, husband, father, war vetaran(OP. SandStorm), usaf f-4 pilot, etc. it doesn't matter the weather he had that day, he didn't hesitate and landed the aircraft on the river and saved everyone's lives. So please, shut the f*** up and keep playing Flight Sim. you useless college kid.

  • seriously? 

  • @fruizlopez lly is a great Pilot. I made the comment just to let know tha world Taca 110`s case.

    I am well aware of Sully`s flamout, and i must state this captain knows his way around, decision been made on such little time frame and under a LOT of pressure is what Sully truly makes a difference. nowadays we have great pilots dispite all technology advances. The difference is the human factor, and Sully prove this right. My respect to Sully

  • @fruizlopez

    No

  • @fruizlopez No one asked you "who is better", so please refraion from telling us. We could not (possibly) care less who YOU think is 'better'. Please proceed back to your referenced video and talk to yourself there about who is better than whom.

  • @fruizlopez i agreed with jbranstetter04 it's not a competition. the point is he avoided what could've been a very very tragic accident. Instead he saved all passengers life and his crew by landing into the hudson river. I'm sure the person you're referring to did a great job as well. Both polite are great they both avoided a tragic accident.

  • @fruizlopez ya thats cool !! You forgot that this dude landed on water..

  • I have so much respect for this man ...

  • Couric makes me ashamed to be female! This pilot is all kinds of awesome and this reporter asked the dumbest questions! God! Her vagina needs taking away, strip her of her woman citizenship! Idiot! Glad Sully is such a classy guy!

  • I honestly don't think I've ever smelled burnt bird. Thank God!

  • "Did you ever pray??"

    "Sure!! I decided to just let the plane guide itself and called upon God to defeat Satan."

    "After all, an Air Force Academy Flight Education, fighter pilot experience, almost three decades of air line experience, 19,000+ hours flight time, a Master's degree in flight psychology, and years of experience in training other pilots.... those little pickey-unee, trivial facets are all over-rated, anyway."

  • PURDUE PILOT!!! BOILER UP!!!

  • I agree Booniecap101. The questions coming from the interviewer...my god...some of them were so shallow...and then to ask another & another. Kudos to Captain Sullenberger for remaining so poised during the interview. I was losing my cool watching this video. News Corporations...please listen & act on what Booniecap 101 said and please "Bring back real journalists." Good day.

  • @9isuzu5 "Bring back real journalists."

    I'm afraid those days are over. Fashion models, with fifty dollar hairstyles on ten cent heads is now the order of the day. The "Walter Cronkite's", the Chet Huntley's, and the David Brinkley's of journalism have all either retired or passed away.

  • " Did you at any point prey" No bitch i thought i'd do something that would actualy help.

  • where was he 911

  • All I hear when Couric talks is "DERP DEE DERP DAH DERP DEEEEE DOO"

  • This guy is a stupid piece of shit. He chose to ditch the plane when he could have made it to an airport.

  • @R0ckstar666x You are a FUCKEN IDIOT! He lost thrust in both engines you moron! The plane died in mid air. He wouldn't have made it to an airport and risked a hard land break up had he not chose the water instead. I am a Vancouver resident and we just had a small plane crash here yesterday. The pilot attempted to land a plane on a city street close to our airport and was not successful in doing so. This was a lear jet type of plane. Imagine if it had been a bigger plane and the consequences!

  • @R0ckstar666x

    As far as your comment, buy a mirror. Your refering to your self. Try LISTENING to the control tapes. Captain Sullenberger is one of the most highly trained and intelligent pilots in the world. Also, a trainer of pilots for specific emergency situations. He literally saved dozens of lives through his incredibly advanced training and experience.

    Had you been on that plane, you'd probably have just scooched your butt into that cozy seat and ordered another drink. Think first.

  • @R0ckstar666x WTH ?! The pilot is a HERO and you are really the biggest stupid useless person in the entire world ! That's it and That's all.

  • he has a nice home, wonder who did the props...

  • 9 people should brace for impact

  • Comment removed

  • She blew it. Scott Pelley would've done a better interview.

  • He has the patience of a saint. I would have walked out on this chic... "Was the river in your sight?" Nah the Hudson river is too small...

  • ''When did you realise that the birds had hit the plane? '' Thank fuck she is not a pilot.....

  • sully...

    if this guy was a marcus of a chet, that plane would be cartwheeling across manhatten

  • goes to show, USAF does produce the best damn pilots that every flew in this world

  • "I was sure I could do it." Most epic response in any interview ever!

  • To sum up this video:

    Interviewer: "I am stupid."

    Captain Sullenberger: "Yes, you are. And I'm awesome"

  • Omg this chick is abnormaly stupid

  • 1:02 idiot woman hahahaah

  • @theLAngeles1 HAHAHAHAHAH

  • "So you were going fast towards the earth" "Yes the earth was coming up fast" hahahah dumb bitch

  • OMG this woman deserves a slap!!!!!!

  • fucking hell that women is just so freakin embarrasing.

  • Kind of boasting though.....

  • The interviewer is rather painfully simplistic in her questions, but he's very patient with her. What a gent.

  • One smart captain and a dumbass interviewer

  • Dumbass . He forgot to turn the engine on

  • "Pray"??????

    Yeah right, I bet paying can take care of everything!

  • "How do you fly a plane like that?" Just kill me now, what an idiot.....

  • i couldn't help but just outwardly laugh when he was talking about someone in back praying. "i ain't got no time for praying woman" do you pray when someone is throwing a punch at your face? here let you show you, stupid bitch.

  • Best Pilot Ever!!! Big Respect!!!!!!!

  • I salute Sullenburger..This man saved the lives of more than just those onboard...Big Respect...People owe a lot to this man

  • Jesus!! This is AWESOME!! I get the goosebumps listening to this.

  • I'll give her this: She's thorough. She's gone through this flight almost moment by moment.  Sully isn't making her job any easier by anticipating her questions. He's not elaborating or expanding on his answers. He answers fully, but no more than that. This doesn't make him the easiest interview subject.

  • Katie Couric is usually pretty good but she doesn't do well here. She's better at emotional interviews. Sully just isn't her type.

  • Way to go captain.

  • This is the most professional interview ever. He just doesn't elaborate. He doesn't. He landed the plane and did his job. No free thinking, didn't worry, and isn't an ego freak in this interview. He is the humblest of the humble. This is a way to live by, be a hero by being yourself.

  • OMG, with all respect....She is so stupid...dumb Oo

  • They're not interested in facts, they're interested in emotions

  • What the hell kinds of questions are these ?/

  • I dont like her way of questioning

  • his concentration matches no others. Sully is awesome!

  • Juat a man,not God,so lets not be worshiping him! Without God this wouldn't have been possible.

  • @vrghiks this man is more real that god

  • @03Dmartin

    In your dreams!

  • @vrghiks No in reality, the place God has never entered, the place you leave to worship him

  • Sully blinked only 5 times throughout the whole interview.

  • i heard him mention that he used the APU to try to help him gain a little thrust but does anyone know if he deployed the Ram air turbine to help him glide the aircraft into the water or not?

  • the most innane questioning ever 'Did you pray?' like fuck he has time for that!

  • God damn it ....he's good....

  • I am sure answering her dumb questions must be harder than landing that plane.

  • Comment removed

  • 'So you were going fastttt;?

    'Yes the water was coming up fast towards us..

    What a dumb question

  • They should have had another pilot give the interview. So that sully could use the terms pilots usually use and the interviewer could translate. For example, he could say apu, atc, and he/she wouldn't ask him stupid questions.

  • I literally thought that this was fake, as in the women didn't really ask this guy these stupid fucking questions. If I was him I would have got up and walked away.

  • Captain, you're a great man and a wondeful pilot. I hope others can have nervous like yours to fly an airplane with same high spirit and intelligency to keep a clear mind and decide the right thing at the right time. Congratulations Captain. Using a north-american slang: "YOU'RE THE MAN!". I'm sorry for my broken English. I'm Brazilian and you are a heroe to me and to the rest of the world.

  • He landed that plane like a mother f*cking boss.

  • this lady is a psyco she asked "weird" question but thumbs up to the man

  • every answer he gave was just perfect! imagine him as President...

  • a real man with cubic balls against feminist retard...

    ...proof that our world needs real men, and that feminists are stupid incompetent unprofessional cunts who were given a job because of quotas, positive discrimination, affermative action and mentally challenged feminazism.

    But just imagine if the job as pilot was given to superFemiCunt... and the job as jurnalist was given to intelligent man:

    "This is Cnn, a stupid bitch has killed 200 passengers for her incredible stupidity, back to you"

  • This guys pimptitude is exponentially uptified by the utter douchebaggery of this nimbnut reporter. I love it.

  • Everything this guy says is awesome, no nonesense, no em's, no er's, a straight talking, genuine, solid guy. Great role model.

  • He is the boss.

  • Reporter lady: so what was the last thing that whent trough your head? Pilot dude: my ass

  • This guy is THE MAN!!!

  • Chuck Norris WOULD get pwned by Sullenberger

  • Dumbass woman. This man deserves better than to be subjected to the moronic, empty-headed interrogation of this bimbo. Dear news corporations: bring back real journalists, please...

  • @booniecap101 are you freaking kidding me??!!??!! Katie Couric happens to be one of the best journalists that CBS or any other broadcasting corporations has ever had! With all due respect, you really don't know what the hell you're talking about!

  • @booniecap101  Yep 100% agree with that

  • @booniecap101 yeah she's a nasty whore

  • "The engines have stopped working..how do you fly a plane like that?" "You glide it . You use the forward momentum to provide the air flow over the wings to provide submission lift ." "....What went through your head ?"

    Hahah she clearly didn't understand any of that ...

  • stupid birds...

  • I think the last statement was the best "No because I hadn't quit yet!"

  • This man is Capable :)

  • My new idol

  • "You were going fast...towards...da Earth?" Unbelievable.

  • *sigh* Couric is such an embarrassment

  • "Did you at any point PRAY?"

    WTF..!!?? There's no praying in the cockpit of an airliner!!!

    This is clearly one of the crappiest moments in the history of journalism.

  • The plane they showed crashing was hijacked nuf sed.

  • @WeAreM4OA3 Please stfu

  • @WeAreM4OA3 Dumb ass.

  • This chick doesnt belong in the same room as this man.

  • @sdneckbreakers She is not stupid, that's her job to aks "simple" questions that many viewers would ask to the pilot.

  • @Alexvideoclip Yup, she's accounting for the average American IQ by asking child like questions.
