Amazing story, but when every second counts It's sort of funny to see those dumb asses jumping off the wing. I mean who doesn't know that you only get 5-10 minutes in below freezing waters.

I can see the flight attendents saying "Please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened until we have come to a stop at the gate."

@Natvsnat1 Yes it is the disparagement of something you yourself could never achieve.Which is what you did. So clearly you need to brush up on you word meanings.

"There are few pilots who could have performed such a manouvre with such perfection."

Not true.

What extraordinary thing did Captain Sullenberger do, exactly, besides his job....?

@paganspiritwolf and the co pilot did nothing...oh wait he handles the flaps, trying to restart engines, and other flight checks...non pilots believe the news........sad..

I heard that after this, The U.S. put all birds on their terror watch list. Paranoia.

@johnnycanales1 the captain set the auto thrust to the wrong setting. the jet was capable of making it back to la guardia. but the airlines were on the verge of bankrupsy at the time. and if they had broadcasted the truth, the entire industry could have gone under! it was definately better for the media to make this guy a hero than to broadcast the truth. but some people (like you) believe everything they read and see in the news?
