A lot of pilots do not practice dead stick landings, but they do practice one engine out TO and landings. In this case the pilot chose the next best alternative instead of taking a risk. One must factor in weight, full fuel, head/cross winds and an hysterical women beating on the door crying 'We're all going to die!'
Test pilots on the other hand work in 'somewhat' controlled conditions and have such developed skill that they see a dead stick landing as a welcoming challenge.
Both skill and luck. #1=Skill, he actually 'dead stick' (gliding, no engines) landed an AIRLINER. That thing glides about as good as a brick when engines are off! Master Pilot. #2=Luck, had there not been the river, he would have had to land on top of buildings, houses telephone poles etc. Sully is awesome, even with the river they still could have crashed. But on the ground, unless it was a flat area like a runway, maybe a road or field, it would have been ugly. Still, he's a hero IMHO.
its funny how the flight controller is all like runway 4 is open, i can call the other air port and sully is all like nope we are landing in the hudson and the flight controller was still giving runways and openings and sully was still like nope landing in the hudson and another controller had to correct and make the 1st controller listen to what he had said
@nanbyu You're mistaken. Webster's dictionary: "Miracle: An event or action that APPARENTLY contradicts known scientific laws and hence is THOUGHT be due to SUPERNATURAL causes, especially to an act of 'god'." Just because things "appear" to be or are "thought" to be hardly makes them real or true. "Think" what you want about how things "appear" to you, I prefer to rely on facts rather than the supernatural. Facts are real and provable, miracles are not.
@cAnzPL Actually the plane can only be set to land itself on a 'runway' with an ILS system. Over the water, he had to 'stick and rudder' that baby in, gliding, with no engines. He glided it in with his hands and feet.
You dont get to achieve Hero status by saving your own life
That should strictly be reserved for the soldier who rolls on the grenade to save his buddies,or the cop who shoves the kid out from in front of a car knowing he's going to get it himself,or the firefighter who go'es in the burning building to retrieve someone knowing he's probably not coming back out again,etc.
Paid for by the coalition to take back the word Hero and use it where it belongs.
@virtualjones I disagree. A "hero" is someone who, under great stress and pressure of a life or death situation, manages to keep their cool and do "the right thing". Lots of people who are PAID to do a job crack under pressure during an extremely dangerous situation; it makes them human.....(though we DO expect more from certain professions and are disappointed when they DO fail)......but yes, there ARE those who, even though it is their "job" certainly DO fall under the category of HERO.
@MrColorguard1 can you elaborate on that,or did it take you all day to put those four words together? c'mon mrcolorgourd,enlighten me as to why im the pathetic one when i articulate my point with well thought out reason and just plain common sense{which i realize is off limits to people like you and most of the other inhabitants of this fucked up planet} Why is it so important to you idiots to be able to call everybody hero's ??? most of the time it can be covered with the word good samaritan
@virtualjones -- Why is it so important for YOU to condescend to others? Only YOUR opinions count? If some people want to refer to Mr. Sullivan as a hero, what the hell is it to you? Let them; they're entitled. Who are you to tell people they're stupid for their opinions!
That is one cool individual. Just one warning, six words, 'We're gonna be in the Hudson', then total silence and concentrates on guiding that plane to a safe landing. Can the Queen give an American a knighthood??? he deserves one!
im just saying but i think the reson why he didnt move is coz he thought they would move out of the way before he hit them and also most birds would move
@cindyrocks222 Incorrect. Flying and guiding an aircraft is not like driving a car. When you turn the steering wheel on a car, the response is immediate; not so with an airplane. Regardless of the size of the aircraft, the respone is delayed. At the speed the Airbus was traveling, combined with the distance between the flock of geese and the aircraft, there simply was not adequate time to avoid the cillision.
I will say that if it hadn't been for those boats on the river, they might have lost people too. This was just good timing (And Gods will) that everything went the way it did...
Uggg, I wanted to hear the recording, not Kermit the Jew. At least it serves as a contrast between the people who built this nation, WASPS, and the parasites who are destroying it with their wars for Israel.
@TheBoatbottom -- Who cares! Everyone lived and that was fantastic. Why the hell do people have to split hairs trying to sound cool. People can call it whatever they feel like!!
@TheBoatbottom -- Don't you mean "a fact" as YOU (and others) may see it? I respect all who have an honest opinion but I resent those who name-call others who steam roll people who have their own opinions/feelings/and-or beliefs.......:-)
@sparkle11231 Again, I sincerely apologize if I've annoyed you. Webster's: Fact: "The state of things as they are; REALITY; ACTUALITY; TRUTH." Facts have nothing to do with how you, I, or anyone else "may see it." Facts are provable. I don't recall "name-calling" anyone, and I didn't intend to, and don't think I did, "steam roll" anyone. Of course people are entitled to their own "opinions/feelings/and or beliefs" however beliefs are beliefs, not facts. Facts are facts, not beliefs.
@planecrazy101ya I pretty much agree but I think they were pretty lucky that there was an open place to put the plane down. If he'd taken off from O'hare they would all have died. As for bravery, yes and no. He didn't have any choice in the matter. In my view bravery is stepping in when you don't really have to. Don't mean to sound nittpicking. Thanks for the response.
@TheBoatbottom Forced to land in the Hudson: Well, TECHNICALLY if I wanted to be an asshole, I could say he COULD have flown into a building trying to land on a road/highway. But that's besides the point. You're right. Btw wtf is everybody bitching at you about? WTF EVERYBODY GROW A PAIR!
@planecrazy101ya Thanks for the backup! Why me? People are weird, I'm living proof, and we all seem to need to bitch about something. It started when I said there is no such thing as a miracle. A lot of people don't like hearing that, it challenges their belief system and their intelligence.
