"We're going to be in the Hudson"

"We're going to be in the Hudson" (script and actual tape) Flight sim re-enactment... Flight sim re-enactment by Laraircraft of Chesley Sullenberger 's amazing landing in the Hudson river after a double bird strike with actual tape.

The FAA has released air traffic control audio and transcripts from January 15, the day Chesley Sullenberger put Flight 1549 down safely in the Hudson.

The catalog includes tapes from LaGuardia and Teterboro towers, but most of the action comes from the New York TRACON (terminal radar approach control).

The flight in question (US Airways/America West "Cactus" 1549) is referred to as "Cactus 1549" or "AWE1549" (or, in the confusion, occasionally as 1539 or 1529). "LGA" is LaGuardia Air Traffic Control. "L116" is New York TRACON LaGuardia Departure. "TEB" is Teterboro Air Traffic Control.

The relevant bits are excerpted below (prettied up a bit for readability and annotated in italics with elements from the NTSB timeline).

DUDE WHATS WITH THIS GAY MUSIC?

[niiiicco]

nice video, but it will be better if the video is sincronizated with the audio,..

sorry for my english

[WannaBeANerd]

Good video! The bubbles were a little annoying because they covered up the simulator action but the script captions were much appreciated. The simulator stuff must have been tough to put together. The music...I could take it or leave it, but I totally understand why you picked that song..."Then I'll know how to save a life." A strong 4/5
