What the FAA and NTSB have FAILED to disclose was the conversation that took place between Capt. Sully and Capt. Skyles as they were assessing alternatives.Their conversation has been studied in depth, and NTSB concluded that they made the right decisions.

The contents of their concersation??

This man should of get paid more than what those airlines have paid him. The people would most likely agree and have their lives to thank for.

Yeah, what other people think is true, is bullshit. Nice one.

Some kind of error. Not intentional.

What's with the html tags & entities, are you using a special program to type? Just curious.

Total badass.

The complete video is superb. I've contacted the FAA to voice agreement with Captain Sullenberger's concerns within the airline industry. I love wildlife preservation as much as anybody, and I think it should continue. But if wildlife populations are endangering human lives even a little bit, work needs to be done to mitigate that conflict.
