Hudson River Plane Landing (US Airways 1549) Animation with Audio

I knew that... hence what I said at the end. All planes should be built with the capability to become seaplanes if needs be.

Or, at least make them all float. Imagine if this one sank, with all the people trapped inside... if all planes could be made to land on water, there would be hardly any chance of a bad crash if you run out of fuel over water and can't get to a runway.

there are planes that are flying boats. they are called seaplanes. Caption Baloo has one. yes, he is from the show tailspin. i fucking loved that show back in the day.

that pilot is one cool customer.

Are planes made to float? This one looks like it did pretty well.

I think all commercial aircraft should be built with the ability to float, if they aren't already. I mean, you land in a river, it sinks with people inside. It would be tragedy.

I think all planes should be built to float, like this one here. Maybe even be built as flying boats, so there could be landings on water with no damage or drama at all.

Everybody on that plane pooped themselves

That piliot is da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing perfomance here, captain and ATC stayed calm, sounds wierd but a nice landing in water, was anyone injured and how was the aircraft?

Meh

Two people... the captain and the FO.

sorry but i ment man kind.. just everything... we are very smart! we made the plane not only that but also regulations and safety procedures and we are not limited to just point a to b.
