It was a Flock of Seagulls.

@genenco1 What is also impressive is the piloting skills of the ferry boat Captains. Imagine how easy it would have been for a slightly miscalculated maneuver to result in bumping the Airbus, knocking passengers off the wings and into the frigid waters of the Hudson River.
The performances of Cactus 1549's flight crew, Air Traffic Controller Patrick Hardin, the ferryboat captains & crews, the first responders, & the passengers of Cactus 1549, gives "Excellence" a whole new meaning.

I really enjoy watching the clip of the boats surrounding the plane. I can just imagine the captains saying "Head to the plane, they need help!" and nobody was unwilling to lend a hand. Great reaction of everybody.

Cactus1549: Cactus 1539 hit birds, we've lost thrust in both engines, turning back toward LaGuardia
Laguardia: OK, turn left heading 270
Cactus 1549: Unable
Laguardia: Cactus 1549, why are you unable for heading 270??
Cactus 1549: You didn't say "Simon Says!!"

@AirForcedude5 I was aboard this flight, and it's a good thing I was. There were a couple of black men aboard the flight who were having difficulty communicating with the flight attendants.
Fortunately, I speak "Jive"!!

They all did a great job. Very good to know that there are fabulous people working in the towers and cockpits.
