Plane crash in NY

[HUSKER 37]

I usually request the emergency exit seats. More leg room.

Got to give it up for that pilot and crew for doing everything right. They saved all those lives.

Yeah..

Sounds like Sully deserves a "Tebow" (Award)

US Airways pilot hailed for safe Hudson River landing

This looks like a job for Border Collies!!!

Or maybe some retired greyhounds?

The plane ran into a flock of Canada geese after takeoff, disabling its engines

call it luck if you will, but ill call it years of government training, continuing education, his love for the profession (he runs a flight safety consultation business and has a glider license) and sheer bravery and balls on the pilots part.

this is an amazing feat, something that in the flying community was considered impossible. the only part luck played in this was the pilot rotation and having this dedicated professional behind the stick when sh*t hit the fan.

I think another thing that help him land safely was that it was a river. The water is much smoother in the Hudson than in the ocean. It probably would of ended differently in the ocean with the waves making for a rough landing and less control of the plane.

Im glad it was a flock of birds and not me that brought that plane down. I build parts for the engines in the AirBus.

Anyone watching this?? Man how would you like to be in that type of deal! It has to be a miracle that the plane landed on the water like it did.

my father was a cadet with the pilot of the plane.
