  • @Eyaasu and you sir are an idiot.....I watched the documentary and the plane was hijacked and the plane landed on the ocean because it ran out of fuel...."read the computer"????are you serious??thats how you fly a plane???I pity you...even if you are a pilot,you're the most dangerous. This man did a brave thing,something you'd know about...give this man respect

  • To stress a point, this pilot hardly had a chance as he was forced to fly until all fuel ran out and then he had no power for flap/spoiler deployment. Without those, an airliner is a very fast and inefficient glider. The Hudson flight still had full hydraulics, and so was able to touch down at a much slower relative speed. Also, the calm of the river was in contrat to the ocean swell.

  • They made a freaking documentary on it. The reason people died is because they're idiots and deployed their life vests too early. They got caught underneath and in the plane and drowned.

  • @eminemfannum1 until hudson

  • The pilot was very skilled in that ditching. He knew he couldn't just belly it down straight since the engines hung below the wings and the friction it caused would've torn the plane up worse than it did.

  • Hudson river dithced everyone suvived GF prick!
