  • So many times in crash investigations you hear about what went wrong and what errors were made. It is so refreshing and inspiring to hear a report of what went right. A well-made aircraft, quick response of the rescue craft, ideal sky conditions, and ideal time of day. But most importantly, the skill and professionalism of the crew of 1549 - Sullenberger and Skiles in particular, pulling off a near-impossible feat. Those people are true heroes. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things

  • this is one hell of a pilot.

    very calm personality and cool headed coupled with years of experience and equipped with real piloting attributes.

  • that's a true pilot! never panics even in such situation. and the result, well... he's a hero. God bless Sulley!

  • where can i watch the whole thing ?

  • From a technical standpoint this production is one of the finest case histories yet produced. The quality of video, content, sound and editing, are as much a tribute to the people involved as well as the professionalism of the production crew. This is an example of story telling at it's best.

  • Probably one of the best landings I've seen.

  • God bless everyone involved.

  • He is the true hero!

  • F***ing Amazing! Well done and thank you to all. This event provided so much more to so many more than you (Pasengers & Crew) could ever know. In aviation, in dreams, hope, and inspiration, you have all become something more than the 155 people that climbed aboard that day. I wish you all the very best for everything you ever do. Keep on doing yourselves and all of us proud.
