"Going in the Hudson" -- technical term is "ditch". For those of you who have seen "Drive" (movie with Ryan Gosling), the key song to the soundtrack ("A Real Hero") was written originally about Sulley and this "flight-save".
When you hear departure control announce "radar contact lost", you can hear as he gives further instruction for potential runways at Newark he's not sure if they're dead men on the other end.
Capt Chesley Sullenberger is a very heroic and cool man, lets not forget Capt Robert Pearson and his 767 'Gimli Glider' and of course Capt Eric Moody and his 747 with all four engines out over Jakarta (he managed to re-start all four after around 20 attempts), all of these Men brought their respective birds in without loss of life. Superb!!
Wonder what the people on the ground were thinking. Jeez one would suggest a second 9/11 if they weren't aware of the situation! Sully is a hero; good man, good pilot, balls of steel.
anyone else find it ironic that birds brought it down and it landed like a bird? It's like sully was saying "oh yea birds, you're not the only ones, go fuck yourselves".
Can you believe how calm he sounded? "I'll have the split pea soup" "My birthday is January 23rd" "We'll be in the Hudson". If that had been me all you would have heard was "AHHHH WE'RE GONNA DIE! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!" I'd be a terribel pilot. I commend him for using his fame to promote air safety. Capt Sully is a true hero.
This is one more example of how The American People have been lied to.
@ 0:32 - 0:34: Notice how the Airbus actually flies BACKWARDS as that hula-hoop alien space craft encircles the jet?? Notice how the plane isn't even moving??
This was all part of a diabolical plot by the Illuminati, the CIA, the Ti-Lateral Commission, the military, and Cling-ons from the Planet of Uranus who were testing out new technology to take over the world and force us into a one world government!!
It's bad enough you're flying a plane with no engines, going through checklists and required procedures, trying to maximize glide and think about what you have to do, but on top of that you've got a controller who couldn't understand "Can't do it" and "We're gonna end up in the Hudson" and keeps asking you questions and offering some runway 7 miles away. Leave the pilot alone so he can do the emergency landing, already! I'd have turned the radio off. Don't distract me when I'm crashing.
@malamagr The air traffic controller did as he was supposed to; his job was to offer every available option the crippled jet's crew, while he still had radar contact, and until he was advised that the plane was down. The flight crew was properly trained to determine which communications to respond to, and which ones to ignore.
He was later commended by the flight crew for his capable handling of the incident., and conclusions of the NTSB investigations that followed supported his actions.
@ottavva Yes he's totally stressed dude- ... EVEN SULLY initially called himself 1539. Cactus 1529 ? 1549 ? They all know who they're talkin' about.! The ONLY one with 0 engines functioning..!! Come on everyone.!! Jesus!
no matter how hard I try I h e a r the ATC say fifteen - t w e n t y - nine - is it me ?? the pilot in the beginning says 1549, alright, but the ATC keeps saying 15-29
Funny how we get all the transcripts and as much video/foto evidence as possible to illustrate to the world this pilots fantastic flying skills and coolness under pressure, yet there is virtually NO video/foto evidence of the plane that struck the pentagon on 9/11 DESPITE the fact it is THE most heavily CCTV'd and monitored building on the planet. No evidence of plane wreckage, NOTHING.
@arjoj10 Apart from a missing plane, and a missing planeload of passengers, plus the fact that Al-Qaeda have admitted to it, plus the fact that there was a massive hole in the side of the Pentagon.
It's not the most heavily monitored building on the planet, where on Earth did you get that from?
What puzzles me is that the (superb) captain did not officially declare an emergency using (what I assume) is the normal terminology of 'mayday mayday mayday'.
@davelowe1977 Exactly my thoughts as well. While I tip my hat to the brave man and his skills as a pilot, I wonder why he never made a 'MayDay' distress call back to the tower while going down into the river. The tower appeared to have no idea about his intentions to ditch the plane in the water. Quite bizarre.
@davelowe1977 Actually, he DID declare an emergency; the "Mayday" call is not heard on this recording because Cactus 1549's transmission was stepped on by another aircraft's transmissions.
There's a video on YouTube (which I'm not going to watch again) of a plane "landing" in the ocean, although it's not so much landing as it is doing a cartwheel & breaking up. Safest method of travel or not, I wish the people I love didn't fly. At least if a car engine fails (or train, truck, bus, etc.), you have a chance.
This captain/hero deserves to be set for life, monetarily speaking.
@copperandbrick not arguing at all :-P but you also have a chance in a plane. most of the time when the engines fail you can easily glide for a considerable distance. also if you hit the water, there's a set angle of attack the plane has to hit the surface. it's hard to do, but if done correctly (like the Hudson crash) the plane should be fine :-)
THANK YOU for being polite while disagreeing! I've made comments like "Cute puppy!" on a video, & someone responded with such malevolence, you'd think I'd given major kudos to Hitler.
Logically, I know flying is fairly safe. It's just an emotional, gut reaction of terror on my part. Some people are afraid of rats or spiders or fire. I don't like the idea of plunging from a great height to my death, while taking unlucky co-riders with me.
I work as a cabin crew member and the next time someone tells me to stop "wasting their time" and that theyre "all dead" when i give them the overwing exit briefing, i will gladly point them to this video! :-) - then perhaps they will pay attention.
The most amazing piloting I've ever heard of. The documentary really showed how monumentally challenging this landing was and why the pilot truly is a hero. In a world where we depend so heavily on machinery and technology and buttons to do our work, he used his instincts and knowledge to perfectly execute this maneuver.
"We're gonna be in the Hudson." The way he said that with the calmness and professionalism gives me goosebumps. And to think, if the plane had landed at a slightly different angle, the plane would have broken up.

@highnrising I am confused its actual 1549 , but they gave the wrong call sign? because of all the shit thats going through the heads , how the hell do you go through the engine relight check percedure, and most of the ditching percedure, est glide distance and looking for a place togo at the same time. Pilot copilot where busy and bravo they did an awesome job.
What happens when you die? Have you told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain(10 Commandments)? If yes, then you're a liar, thief, and a blasphemer in the sight of God. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin, & go to Hell! But God sent His Son Jesus to shed His blood & die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose again from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins,was buried & resurrected)you'll not perish & have eternal life
Notice how one American pilot was the fucking man in a dire emergency situation. Why didn't that happen on 9/11? probably because all that shit was staged.
"Cactus" is the term they used to refer to America West airlines with because it was based out of Phoenix, Arizona. US Airways bought out America West and, therefore, some of the planes picked up the old term when US Air started operating AW's old flight lanes.
Either way, he did a superb job landing that aircraft!
@Lisztman88 It's relevant because ATC would issue different instructions to an aircraft with one working engine. He needed to confirm that the aircraft was unable to maintain altitude.
@Lisztman88 He asks "which engines" because he was trying to verify what ATC had said about BOTH engines being out. That is an extreme emergency, having a big airliner like that with zero thrust capability flying (gliding) over such a heavily populated area. Not your usual one-engine-out bird strike scenario....very different reaction. ATC was awesome here.
@fiona3637 True that, Lisztman88!! I've lost count of how many ignorant morons have criticized Patrick Hardin, the Air Traffic Controller who handled 1549, for continuing to offer alternatives. He performed splendidly, and he deserves accolades for his calm and cool. The work of an Air Traffic Control is incredibly stressful on a good day, and just as Cactus 1549 had the best crew you could ask for,and they also have Patrick Hardin to thank.

ABC reported Captain Sullenbuger could have landed on a ground strip if he was "properly prepared to land." However, it was found he had to land the plane on the Hudson River because he was too busy having sex with all 4 stewardesses.
After they got off the plane, every woman found out they became mysteriously impregnated with Captain "Sully" Sullenburger's children from his sheer awesomeness.
My mother was one of the women who was impregnated and gave birth to me. Chesley is a great man for saving those people and impregnating all those women. Too bad my mom had to sue him for child support and Sully's living off food stamps.
@duncan7599 And your point here is what? What are you trying to say? It seems that you are saying that he and any other pilot should have instinctively known that they could make it back to the airport. I'm sure there's some pilots out there who have thought or even stated that they would have simply turned around and landed back at the original airport. Easier said than acted on. If it was that easy, then we would have computers flying our planes and not people.
@duncan7599 The NTSB ran a series of tests, to see if Flight 1549 could have returned safely to LaGuardia. The simulation started immediately following the bird strike and "...knowing IN ADVANCE that they were going to suffer a bird strike and that the engines could not be restarted, four out of four pilots were able to turn the A320 back to LaGuardia and land on Runway 13." BUT... (continued)
@NatiGhan I just saw the Mayday episode on this and one of the NTSB investigators said that they were only 50% successful in returning to LaGuardia even with the immediate response. They were 0% successful when accounting for the 30 second delay. All these "expert" pilots here on YouTube who think that they could have done anything differently are just ignorant fools.
@NatiGhan Yes I read that. In your first reply you said that 4 out of 4 pilots were able to return to the airport. In the documentary they suggested that only half of those simulations were actually successful, while when given a 30 seconds delay none of the simulations were successful. So even if Sully had tried to turn back immediately following the bird strike, the show suggests he only had a 50/50 chance.
@duncan7599 When they later imposed a 30sec DELAY before they could respond, in recognition that it wasn't reasonable to expect a pilot to assess the situation and react instantly, all four pilots crashed!
Learn to read! Remember that the crew actually tried to re-start the engines first, which is the logic thing to do in their situation!
@duncan7599 Actually only half of the tests were successful - in a simulator - with foreknowledge of the event - without any re-light attempt. Not attempting a re-ligh after engine failure I believe is contraindicated in most if not all checklists and scenarios.
I never flew in a plane before and im 13 years old so im no plane expert but a pilot told me that if Captain Sullenberger turned aroun immediatly after the bird strike he could of saved the plane also. How come no one asks these questions?
Wrong. He was already going away from the airport when he lost his engines. If you lose your engines, the last thing you want to do is dissipate your airspeed and lose lift (wings are designed for straight and level flight, when you turn, lift and/or speed is sacrificed. Because of this, the last thing you want to do is give up your precious and valuable airspeed. Airspeed equals a moment for evaluation of wheres the most suitable area to put it down, which was the Hudson.
@duncan7599 because if you listen to the cockpit recording and not the tower you would hear Sully and Skiles following protocol to relight the engines. They follow the check list for about 26s until they get to the airspeed. They need 300 to relight and they have 220. They can't relight. At this point they go to landing procedure which comes after a relight attempt. If you subtract the extra 26s from the available time to get to LaGuardia all simulations crashed. He followed correct procedure
@dao63 IT MATTERS. If you had to fly a circle to get back to the airport you took off from, knowing which engine is out is really important to know.... you don't want to smash into all the other planes in the flight path coming into the airport, and also the planes in the flight path taking off from the airport.
@DancingSpiderman So knowing which engine is out will prevent other planes in the flight path from smashing into you? Thanks, but no thanks. ATC wants to know which engines because if he makes the airport, he relays the information to the Fire Rescue trucks so they know which side(s) of the aircraft to attack first. A translation of what you said was this "its really important to know which engine because it's important not to crash into other planes." Did you read before you posted?
I say again..a phenomenal piece of airmanship. To ditch a plane in such circumstances and with no fatalities merits praise of the highest order. Sully is a true hero. What's also impressive is how well the plane held together. Well done Airbus too. Damn Canada geese!
@tacospartan its a cockpit recording, every single commercial plane in the world has a voice recorder that records all incoming at outgoing transmissions. There is also a recorder in the cockpit that records everything the pilots say on the flight, but it is only used for investigations and is not available to the public. The regular recorder, however, is publicly available unless it is involved in an ongoing investigation.
@TejbzYunior Correction: This is the air traffic control tapes. This is why you hear Cactus 1549 and air traffic control. Furthermore, this explains why you hear the air traffic controllers coordinating between multiple airports. Airplanes have a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and a Flight Data Recorder (FDR). The air traffic control tapes are released once the investigation is complete. However, it's almost non-existant to be able to hear a CVR. Those usually require a freedom of information act.
@MyPilot747 when the pilot took control of the aircraft, he assumed overall decision-making duty, including communication. Had he been relaying all communication through the co-pilot (who was running the Dual Engine Failure Checklist at the time), they would likely have lost critical time required to make the decisions which ultimately saved every single soul aboard.
This pilot is absolutely a hero! I'd fly with this guy any day!
@MyPilot747 no worries. I watched the "Air Crash Investigation" episode, and read the transcript from the CVR, that's how I know what the pilot + co-pilots did.
Tower: Turn him to runaway 1 Pilot: uhhh we cant do that Tower: ok which runaway whould you like? Pilot: the hudson Tower: Im sorry say again captain?

What happens when you die? Have you told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain(10 Commandments)? If yes, then you're a liar, thief, and a blasphemer in the sight of God. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin, & go to Hell! But God sent His Son Jesus to shed His blood & die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose again from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins,was buried & resurrected)you'll not perish & have eternal life

"Cactus" is the term they used to refer to America West airlines with because it was based out of Phoenix, Arizona. US Airways bought out America West and, therefore, some of the planes picked up the old term when US Air started operating AW's old flight lanes.
Either way, he did a superb job landing that aircraft!

At 0:28 why does he ask which engines? Is that really relevant? The point is, there is an emergency landing...
Lisztman88 7 months ago
@Lisztman88 It's relevant because ATC would issue different instructions to an aircraft with one working engine. He needed to confirm that the aircraft was unable to maintain altitude.
arf153 7 months ago
@Lisztman88 He asks "which engines" because he was trying to verify what ATC had said about BOTH engines being out. That is an extreme emergency, having a big airliner like that with zero thrust capability flying (gliding) over such a heavily populated area. Not your usual one-engine-out bird strike scenario....very different reaction. ATC was awesome here.
fiona3637 1 month ago 2
@fiona3637 True that, Lisztman88!! I've lost count of how many ignorant morons have criticized Patrick Hardin, the Air Traffic Controller who handled 1549, for continuing to offer alternatives. He performed splendidly, and he deserves accolades for his calm and cool. The work of an Air Traffic Control is incredibly stressful on a good day, and just as Cactus 1549 had the best crew you could ask for,and they also have Patrick Hardin to thank.

ABC reported Captain Sullenbuger could have landed on a ground strip if he was "properly prepared to land." However, it was found he had to land the plane on the Hudson River because he was too busy having sex with all 4 stewardesses.

duncan7599 9 months ago
@duncan7599 And your point here is what? What are you trying to say? It seems that you are saying that he and any other pilot should have instinctively known that they could make it back to the airport. I'm sure there's some pilots out there who have thought or even stated that they would have simply turned around and landed back at the original airport. Easier said than acted on. If it was that easy, then we would have computers flying our planes and not people.
jbranstetter04 9 months ago
@duncan7599 The NTSB ran a series of tests, to see if Flight 1549 could have returned safely to LaGuardia. The simulation started immediately following the bird strike and "...knowing IN ADVANCE that they were going to suffer a bird strike and that the engines could not be restarted, four out of four pilots were able to turn the A320 back to LaGuardia and land on Runway 13." BUT... (continued)
NatiGhan 4 months ago
@NatiGhan I just saw the Mayday episode on this and one of the NTSB investigators said that they were only 50% successful in returning to LaGuardia even with the immediate response. They were 0% successful when accounting for the 30 second delay. All these "expert" pilots here on YouTube who think that they could have done anything differently are just ignorant fools.
nano4288 3 months ago
@nano4288 Yes I know that, there was a second part of my reply.
NatiGhan 3 months ago
@NatiGhan Yes I read that. In your first reply you said that 4 out of 4 pilots were able to return to the airport. In the documentary they suggested that only half of those simulations were actually successful, while when given a 30 seconds delay none of the simulations were successful. So even if Sully had tried to turn back immediately following the bird strike, the show suggests he only had a 50/50 chance.
nano4288 3 months ago
@duncan7599 When they later imposed a 30sec DELAY before they could respond, in recognition that it wasn't reasonable to expect a pilot to assess the situation and react instantly, all four pilots crashed!
Learn to read! Remember that the crew actually tried to re-start the engines first, which is the logic thing to do in their situation!
NatiGhan 4 months ago
@duncan7599 Actually only half of the tests were successful - in a simulator - with foreknowledge of the event - without any re-light attempt. Not attempting a re-ligh after engine failure I believe is contraindicated in most if not all checklists and scenarios.
nano4288 3 months ago
I never flew in a plane before and im 13 years old so im no plane expert but a pilot told me that if Captain Sullenberger turned aroun immediatly after the bird strike he could of saved the plane also. How come no one asks these questions?
duncan7599 9 months ago
@duncan7599
Wrong. He was already going away from the airport when he lost his engines. If you lose your engines, the last thing you want to do is dissipate your airspeed and lose lift (wings are designed for straight and level flight, when you turn, lift and/or speed is sacrificed. Because of this, the last thing you want to do is give up your precious and valuable airspeed. Airspeed equals a moment for evaluation of wheres the most suitable area to put it down, which was the Hudson.
bigey 9 months ago
@duncan7599 Who cares about saving the plane??? He saved lives that is the most important thing to take from this.
eyzonm3 9 months ago
@duncan7599 because if you listen to the cockpit recording and not the tower you would hear Sully and Skiles following protocol to relight the engines. They follow the check list for about 26s until they get to the airspeed. They need 300 to relight and they have 220. They can't relight. At this point they go to landing procedure which comes after a relight attempt. If you subtract the extra 26s from the available time to get to LaGuardia all simulations crashed. He followed correct procedure

@ghaddy07 ik that! i was just wondering why it mattered if it were the left or the right engine.
dao63 9 months ago
@dao63 IT MATTERS. If you had to fly a circle to get back to the airport you took off from, knowing which engine is out is really important to know.... you don't want to smash into all the other planes in the flight path coming into the airport, and also the planes in the flight path taking off from the airport.
DancingSpiderman 9 months ago
@DancingSpiderman So knowing which engine is out will prevent other planes in the flight path from smashing into you? Thanks, but no thanks. ATC wants to know which engines because if he makes the airport, he relays the information to the Fire Rescue trucks so they know which side(s) of the aircraft to attack first. A translation of what you said was this "its really important to know which engine because it's important not to crash into other planes." Did you read before you posted?

tacospartan 10 months ago
@tacospartan its a cockpit recording, every single commercial plane in the world has a voice recorder that records all incoming at outgoing transmissions. There is also a recorder in the cockpit that records everything the pilots say on the flight, but it is only used for investigations and is not available to the public. The regular recorder, however, is publicly available unless it is involved in an ongoing investigation.
TejbzYunior 10 months ago
@TejbzYunior Correction: This is the air traffic control tapes. This is why you hear Cactus 1549 and air traffic control. Furthermore, this explains why you hear the air traffic controllers coordinating between multiple airports. Airplanes have a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and a Flight Data Recorder (FDR). The air traffic control tapes are released once the investigation is complete. However, it's almost non-existant to be able to hear a CVR. Those usually require a freedom of information act.

MyPilot747 10 months ago
@MyPilot747 when the pilot took control of the aircraft, he assumed overall decision-making duty, including communication. Had he been relaying all communication through the co-pilot (who was running the Dual Engine Failure Checklist at the time), they would likely have lost critical time required to make the decisions which ultimately saved every single soul aboard.
This pilot is absolutely a hero! I'd fly with this guy any day!
