Captain Sullenberger, before he left his sinking aircraft, made a final tour, ensuring that no one was still in the plane, and was the last person to leave the cabin.
Sullenberger graduated from the United States Air Force Academy where the cadets have to become expert in flying non-powered gliders before they're allowed to operate powered aircraft.
They made a movie called Sully about this. You should check it out. It shows the whole process Sully went through in the cockpit to get to the moment he decides to land in the Hudson, and it shows the investigation afterwards. The FAA claimed he could have made it back to an airport, and it shows how it was proven Sully made the only viable choice and was right. Excellent movie.
I mean thats kind of his job. Im pretty sure its illegal for him to flee with people still on the plane. The concordia captain did that and was sentenced to like 15 years in prison.
@@nullakjg767 I think the reason the person got 15 years in prison was because he was the reason the ship crashed in the first place and he fled because he knew that.
@@erinfreeman4149 it wasnt really his fault. it was the fault of the people who actually owned the ship for hiring the cheapest possible crew who didnt even speak the same language
The Hudson river my love..grew swimming crabbing fishing as kid in good ole Hudson river 30 miles North in Rockland county NY.... glorious time in 70's cases of beers with giant bon fire over night crabbing n boiling them on the spot Haverstraw NY in the house ..THE DAYS but in Cali now it's over lol
You guys should/could react to the Lenny Scutnik story, he's as big a hero as captain Scully, Ronald Reagan honored him in his 1982 State of the Union address
It's important to note that most birdstrikes are normally quite minor occurrences. Jet engines are capable of withstanding them with no damage, provided the bird is relatively small. Canada geese are not small - each bird was about 8 times heavier than what the engines were certified to withstand, and several birds were ingested at once. There was no way those engines were going to pull through that.
The plane was taken out of the Hudson by the accident investigators so they could inspect the engines and determine the damage. The plane is now on display at the Sullenberger Aviation Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.
People in many countries would have done the same thing. Decent people exist everywhere. I'm not trying to diminish the actions of all those involved in this astonishing situation, everyone was amazing, of that there's no doubt. I remember this so clearly, as the tv show I was watching was live out of New York and almost immediately the network switched to this. Watching the rescue was nerve-racking, but later on when seeing the video of the landing itself, it became clear how horrifically it could have ended for those on board the plane, any boats that might have been in the crash zone, and for the surrounding cities, if not for the skill of the pilot.

An honorable man. I hope he's doing well in his life.
Captain Sullivan was highly celebrated after that!

shortly after this i was on a flight that nearly crashed on landing but the pilot saved it… he was trained by the hudson pilot.. kinda crazy

Captain Sully walked the whole plane to make sure everyone was off the plane before he would leave the plane

A hero to people and monster too geese. That said landing a plane without power is like the first thing you learn how to do in flight school.

You should do the reaction to sully the movie very impressive. These pilots did what few pilots could do
It could have gone very different and wound up like Air Florida Flight 90.
Did you seen Radu Isac stand up comedy?
