- Capt. Chesley Sullenberger recalled how he and his co-pilots pulled off the incredible emergency landing in the Hudson River as passengers described their final thoughts during the harrowing plunge.
Sully is not only an extraordinary pilot, he is also so humble about it and always mentioning all the others involved, even the passengers. truly admirable!
He's a gift from God! God put him in the right place at the right time to save these lives and lives of people on the ground!
TheFreaker86 I wish he also mentioned about the Airbus itself. Though I have heard him complain about how the Airbus fought him a bit during the final sequence, I'm almost certain it was the Airbus itself that may have made this landing possible. the Airbus is built with extraordinary protection systems, which allow the pilots to avoid stalling during extreme circumstances. That plane, at the speed it was going, by all rights should have fallen out of the sky. But it flew. And that, alongside Sully's flying skill, made for a fearsome combo.
True, and, in that respect, he could be a role model for elected officials.
Someone in his position, it's got to be tough because most people wouldn't want the attention, they just want to be humble and saying it was a good job well done and go about their day. But of course a situation like this, completely changes all those people's lives.
@@TheEDFLegacy it glides .... smoothly .
I met captain Sully at a bar in the Dominican Republic a few years back after his heroic landing in the Hudson. He was extremely humble about the entire experience. I congratulated him and then left him to enjoy his vacation. What an awesome gentlemen.
Hi,know how I can get a pilot training scholarship..?? Please advise.Thank you

@@harveyweinstein6346 I don't understand. Elaborate kindly
@@isaaclihanda8940 If youre in America best option is flight school.
Where I live theres not many pilots so its very very worth going into it especially because 3 quaters of our flight trainees get accepted into the national airway after graduation (even if it is only between islands, at least you get experience off the bat with decent pay)
@@sketchyth0ughts399 unfortunately, am not in America
Watched Sully last night.
It's hard not to notice how humble this man is, the fact that he was the last man who left the plane after checking all the passengers, makes him a true hero.
He's not a hero. Just doing his job.
@@LONEWOLF-1970 yes, he is a hero. A less experienced pilot may have incorrectly calculated or risked that he could return to LaGuardia or make it to Tedaboro. Within seconds Sully calculated and concluded his only option to avoid catastrophe on land was to go to the Hudson. Knowing even if the landing was not successful, there would be no injury or damage on land and that's what makes him a hero.
@@sirmax894 no not really. A hero is someone who chooses to put his or her life on the line to save others. This man had no choice in the matter because if he didn't do his "JOB" everyone , including himself would have perished. So no. Not a hero, but rather a very skilled pilot doing what he's paid to do, keep his passengers alive.
@@LONEWOLF-1970 that's what makes him a hero
@@sirmax894 no he's not a hero. Just because someone is good at their job doesn't make them a hero. That just makes him damn good at what he does. That's what a good pilot does day in and day out, is to make sure his passengers takeoff and land in one piece.
Birds: We're about to ruin this man's career
Sully: Are you sure?
@bsert khtan Its a joke
@bsert khtan U a crazy vegan , aren't you?
"Ruin this man's career"?
If the birds were to have ulterior motives, I would guess them to be killing everyone on the plane. If they wanted to ruin Sully's career they probably would've caused some sort of scandal. Possibly putting sleeping pills in his coffee on the day of the flight or maybe spreading false rumors to the newspapers.
*John Cena tune kicks in*
@@hastobe303 it’s a meme
Sully is the boss. "We're gonna be in the Hudson"......radio silence.
Aviate, navigate, communicate. The flight crew of Cactus 1549 did it about as well as any group of humans could’ve.

Where was Jeff
Provocateur lmao

Wow... 10 years already? I still remember that day so vividly.
@Siamese Flower, me too thank God.
I was in a $5 hotel in
Ahmedabad when I heard.
My first thought was
Oh man they are all dead.
Glad I was wrong
I couldn't believe it either. Time really flies in the internet age. It keeps us occupied 24/7. No down time.
Still one of the most amazing save of all time. Just think about all air mishaps that had happened in the past 10 years that resulted in death.
me too and i was only 7 years old.
I remember that day ad well I just got cable hooked up, turned it on and first thing I see was that plane in the water
he doesn’t see himself as a hero , he sees himself as a pilot who did his job by keeping his passengers alive ..that’s all pilots want regardless of themselves ..he’s very humble as well as his assistant who deserves as much credit as him . they are both humble men
As a future cabin crew, this is true. From the very beginning, most of us just wants to put everybody else's safety before ours.
No body should won't to be a hero .. it's brainwashed into American kids unfortunately
Funny thing is, he can be both. Doing that is fully admirable.
Captain Sully is such an intelligent person.
"No its hard work"
"Everyone put this together" and then credited his crew and also the passengers
"Wasn't once enough"
“We’re gonna BE in Hudson” just like that, calm and trusting his abilities. He knew he can make it! What a gentleman and boss!
Yes! He has my admiration!
He said we are going to be in the Hudson as chill is I would say I’ll see you at happy hour around 4. Superior flying skills.
He didnt know he could make it. No one knew an airliners could survive that. All previous attempts ended up with the planes disintegrating. Luckily there was no waves or the end would be the same
@@ThatSB what main helped him keeping the nose up till the last minute.
Well whether they land safely or not, they’re gonna be in the Hudson..
I love how humble he is. Never fails to give credit to his first officer and crew. Along with all the first responders
By name!
He's constantly taken all credit for this. Movie and book called "Sully". Egotistic.
Ganny Dee Um no....
"Sully, the Co-Pilot, the Flight Attendants, the First Responders, the FAA, and Bill at the Factory" wouldn't have fitted on the poster.
Fishy Good person 👍👍
The miracle was the calmness, fast response and quick thinking. A team effort of flight. Fire, ferries and EMS.
I love how he always includes the flight attendants
SUP girl
I lived in NYC at the time of the incident, and while I was talking on the phone to a friend he suddenly he said, "That's weird, an airliner just flew by my office window and it looks like it's flying REALLY LOW... Holy sh*t!! An airplane just landed in the Hudson!!!" Then he told me, "just turn on the TV," and hung up the phone. It was eerie actually talking to someone actually witnessing the event in real time, just before the plane actually came down. Hard to believe that it happened ten years ago, when it is still so vivid in my memory.
Many people have the false assumption that New Yorkers are cold and unfeeling, but this is a myth. When the SHTF, we always come together as one, both on 9/11 and during this event. This was indeed a real "miracle," on so many special levels. God bless the survivors and the first responders, everyone.
Neat little story, thanks for sharing
Imagining living in NYC and saw an airline flying so low near the Buildings, WTC Nightmare 🥶🥶🥶
Fake and gay
@@Pinhead101 no u
had i heard that line, “an airliner just flew by my window” i would’ve totally got a whole diff idea and ran off, this stuff’s traumatizing

One other positive aspect not mentioned, but easily forgotten, is the fact that the plane, an Airbus A320, although crippled, performed impeccably, even staying more or less in one piece despite a challenging water landing and floating during the whole of the rescue event.
Yeah, this is very much true. The plane itself is part of the whole thing, and needs to be in The Smithsonian if it isn't already.
@@roygoodhand1301 From all the videos i've seen it looks like cactus 1549 is on display in some museum, so i guess that is some honor to the A320.
Exactly I don't think Boeing version of this would have fared so well
@@Giggidygiggidy12 Modern Boeing planes have performed phenomenally well in bad situations too, like the Asiana crash at SFO around 10 years ago.
The engineering that goes into these craft is incredible
Sully for President. Someone who is humble, thoughtful, intelligent, and can stay calm in the face of danger.
That description sounds a lot like Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden. Thoughtfulness, calmness and kindness is important in leadership isn’t it?
@@katiem4539 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bush and Biden? Jesus what a dopey.
@@katiem4539 Biden? You must be stupid
@@Alex.himebauch Biden is humble and told what he can do, and what he CAN'T
do. He is that humble. He didn't told a happy story, he only told reality of the story that can be told IN THE REAL WORLD.
Sully: "Can we get serious now?".
Sully is humble just like Biden did.
Well, we can only dream that someone like that could become president in the current system...
"Wasn't once enough?" Wow that man is impressive and charming. Go Sully! 💜😋👏🏼
@Sha Liz Oh yeah! That was a so cool line, delivered by a so cool hero!
the baby is already 10 years old....
I was really hoping they would let us see her
Fuck at this rate the passengers who survived are going to die from aging.. Sully's work of saving lives didn't matter after all..
@@hiran4935 10 more years of grace thanks to sulky
Yes that grow up so fast.
And I bet that mother thanks that man EVERY day that they are both still alive
He's name will always be remembered in the aviation industry, such a great guy!
Lord, whatever pilots are being paid, it ain’t enough.
Hahahahaha yeah
they get paid $100-150,000 a year I think that's pretty good to operate the safest machines ever made, and 99% of the time they are on auto pilot
@@tejeda7324 double it then we good
So @@tejeda7324 ‘s facts were (almost/kind of) right (depending on where the pilot lives)
...but I kind of disagree with the statement that a pilot’s job is “easy”
@@tejeda7324 people say this about so many jobs yet don't realize they're the ones that control people's salaries. I think if economy tickets started costing $1,000+ people would change their minds pretty quick
“was it a miracle?”
“No. It was hard work.”
An Air Force answer. Miracle my a.. They know how things work. Plus: a miracle would degrade them. If there were such a thing. Would mean he would have effed up without it, that's a military no-go. But he IS a hero, no doubt.
best answer.
i hate when people say "god were looking out for us" or "its a miracle!" no, dont give some supernatural imaginary being credit when its a highly skilled and highly trained human being that saved you.
It was a miracle. How many other pilots do all they can but ends tragically. Jehovah intervene and gave him wisdom.
@@TvShopOnTv God looked out for them. Don't be a hater.
@@TvShopOnTv God is real. The whole universe is a skilled master piece Made by God. As so are you and me.

Sully: "I am serious, and my name is Sully, not Shirley."
Hahahahaha good one
😂
It's a different kind of flying, altogether
I hate that I am old enough to know the source of that joke. As funny as ever though.
Grateful we could laugh at such jokes,
All thanks to Captain Sully.
It still gives me chills listening to the radio call between him and the Air controller. His tone showed no sign of doubt or fear. Just sheer determination to save all souls onboard his plane.
He’s so humble! He is a hero, and what everyone should strive for!
I love that he always includes everyone as a team that saved everyone, he doesn’t take all the credit.
an example to us all
He could NEVER be President, not after this current act lol
I love his deep voice.
Me too!
Almost sounds like Jeff Goldblum lol
Me too^^
❤❤❤
He should do All State commercials
Moral of the story : Airbus build water-ditching resistant aircrafts. To increase your chances of surviving a plane accident, fly on an aircraft where both pilots wear a moustache.
especially women
@@dontspikemydrink9382 can you do it?
@@alinagape No
Reminds me of the Billy Connolly sketch about Nigel Caruthers’ ‘piloty looking pilot’!
So was this a miracle? No, it was hard work.
I love how he is so down to earth and so humble.
He said that it wasn't a miracle, it was "hard work", and he's right!!! And quite frankly, I don't think that line of his is skeptical AT ALL! (as many atheists think).
Because a miracle can be defined as a "surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of God".
If his skills (and crew's also) and attitudes under such a life risk situation, were the cause why every soul on board has survived... there was others several thousands conditions that I think were crucial to the sucess of this operation, and that many skeptics just ignore, a important one is: if the birds has stricken the plane a few moments latter, perhaps/probably no one would have had survived! I see the miracle right in here!
Miracle is beyond what men can do! Miracle is beyond the action and intervention of men! And there it is! So, I see cleary the intervention of God in that situation! And that doesn't take a bit of incredible skills Sully has! Period.
And plus: "Some in these comments say what Sully did was 'easy', and that conditions were perfect. As a Military pilot for over twenty years I can tell you that what Sully did was extraordinary. A water landing in a commercial multi engine aircraft is a nightmare because of everything the pilot has to get exactly right. Too fast, the plane will either bounce or flip, too flat the engines will dig into the water and the plane will break up, too slow or too much flare and plane stalls, the tail impacts the water first and the plane cart wheels and breaks up. In every circumstance except the perfect manoeuvre very bad things happen to the plane and passengers. Its called 'Miracle on the Hudson' for a reason."
God worked through this man. PRAISE JESUS CHRIST
@@frankiemoore9127 Amen. I agree. God bless you Frankie!

"Wasn't once enough?" - Great answer to a terrible question.
At least they should do it in July :D
Exactly, it’s a very insensitive question. People seem to think it didn’t affect the Captain but I think it was traumatic for him as well.
shows how genius of a guy he is
Reporter: Was it a miracle?
Capt. Sully Bossman: No it was hard work, on the part of many people, and an entire industry, over many decades...
You have advanced to Level 500.
Edit: @6:07
ethan harris “Capt. Sully Bossman” Airforceproud95 much?
The real GOAT
Couldn't give a better response, I completely agree with him.
ethan harris I did not like my own comment. And by “Airforceproud” I meant a youtuber named “Airforceproud95”. He makes FSX (flight simulator X) trolling videos and he says bossman sometimes.
@@PeaceMakerS2 Reading this thread. Chapeau to you, too. Not many people are decent enough to write such a response. Most just ignore or delete theirs. You are a really nice part-time troll, even admitting it. Very sympa!
What I actually love is that through his humility, you can still understand that Capt Sully is proud of what he’s done, as he should be. Often these literal miracle heroes are overwhelmed by the gratitude they receive that they don’t fully appreciate that THEY are an incredible human being who has done something near impossible. Kudos Captain
This is a skilled pilot. We can only hope that the future generations will have ones who are equally skilled.
We won’t. He’s white.
I like how Sully doesn't even take the credit himself. He simply says that there was a lot of people who had to work to save everyone.
"It was everyone working together to not let anyone die". Beautiful words.
This happened a day before my birthday. What a wonderful early present knowing that everyone survived and Sully saved them! He is a class act! A true professional that made sure everyone got off the plane safely and he was the last to leave the plane.God bless Sully, the rest of the crew, and all the passengers.😎🥰❤🇺🇲🙏
As a pilot this brings tears to my eyes how amazing it was and is. Great job everyone.
This pilot is a very firm believer of "theres no i in team" he keeps saying we as in crew and passengers... I like that 👍
Passengers did a good job following the instructions without being asses
My father was on that flight.
So glad he’s here with us today!
Glad man, cheers to your dad
I wonder how it feels like to watch someone who singlehandedly saved your fathers life.
yea yea
@@mebarkiimad8999 they wouldn’t know because no one single handedly saved their fathers life.
There were TWO pilots in that flight deck and there were multiple (I believe 3?) cabin crew who evacuated those passengers.
Sully is such a smooth, strong speaker. Definitely has the makings of a great leader
It's amazing how much Aaron Eckhart -- who played Jeff Skiles in "Sully" -- looks so much like him in the movie. They could almost be twins.
Sully is so humble, he praises everyone but himself
GOD BLESS YOU CAPTAIN SULLENBERGER AND FIRST OFFICER JEFFREY SKILES!!!! For saving all 150 passengers and 5 crew members onboard flight 1549!!! You were truly heroes, especially you Captain Sullenberger!!!
Those passengers were SO fortunate to have had Sully and his co-pilot flying them that day.
*I really appreciate how he says it wasn't a miracle, but hard work.*
Me too. It pisses off relitards so much, but I would be way more angrier if my god couldn't even control a flock of geese.
Es war beides.
Each and every time that I watch Captain Sully being interviewed,he gets me emotional for one single reason he has not for once taken the credit personally,when people keep thanking him he will always make mention of his co-pilot and all his crew members,this is what I call humility personified.Once again Captain Sully I want to say a big thank you for the wonderful job you did,America saw it and the rest of the world also saw it,it is and will always be appreciated. You are such a hero and believe me you are my hero.
Bring tears to my eyes , the heroism ,that this could have been a disaster . From Capt . Sully to the ferry capt and crews . To the Survivors. Your all hero’s . God bless .
That’s a hero right there. I remember my dad running into my room and telling me to come to the TV with him to see what had happened. I was amazed. A plane fully intact, with all the people safe.
Absolutely Outstanding pilot that stayed in control and let his years and training kick in and saved so many! 🙏🙏
This video is longer than his entire flight from LGA -> HUD !!!
The hudson has an airport code

Humble guy and very professional
“Was it a miracle?”
“No, it was hard work”
That’s what Angels say when they preform miracles
It was a miracle that all the stars aligned including the fact that there happens to be two highly skilled pilots on this flight... imagine if the same thing happened where there wasn’t available landing water or runways and boats empty and ready to rescue. This incident also lead to a lot of new training for pilots and additional safety procedures to the protocol and so on. What if the miracle was that God allowed this incident to occur knowing all the stars aligned and would result in 100% survival so that the aviation administration or whoever would implement new trainings and other improvements to current engineering/procedures that may have saved later flights from going down...? We will never know.
Glory to God!

"How are you?"
"I'm alive."
Boom ... right to the point.

The NTSB put him through so much. Wish you saw the movie and you'd see they tried to vilify him. Very emotional when I watched the movie. Things people had no idea about behind the scenes.
Leilani Ku'uipo It's their job.
@@leilanikuuipo6004 look it up mate, the movie exaggerated things a lot. IRL, Sully was always praised and the investigation was more like a formal requirement as well as to make sure they learn from it.

@@leilanikuuipo6004 911 was inside job by our corrupt evil government and when you are a true American hero or expose the government they kill your character or kill you
It just totally amazes me how Pilots can stay calm all the way through the crash no crazy panic in their voice
That's why they're the ones in the cockpit, not us. How 'bout Apollo 13? Check those guys out.
always appreciated the amount of responsibility it takes to focus like that
Sully has since said, to paraphrase, “in all my years of flying, I’d been making deposits in a ‘bank of experience,’ then when this happened, I had enough to withdraw.”
In an ocean of bad news and sad events, seeing this is, literally, an island of peace. Great actions. Heroic choices. An outstanding but very humble captain. Each and everyone of the participants of this story are true heroes. Long live captain Sullenberger, his first officer, all the members of the crew, all passengers and each and everyone of the heroes from NY and NJ, there that day.
I agree. Former USAF mechanic and seen at least one accident did not take the light of the fighter pilot and it happened in front of me. Water pressure is high enough it can cut though steel but I think dropping the tail first into the water was used as a drag to slow it down before wing stall. The Engines did most of the negative G braking as they sank into the river.
That’s why I love Sully, not only is he a true professional and hero, but never takes the credit. Whenever someone heaps praise on him, he immediately directs the praise to everyone who helped. Not only is he highly skilled, but very humble as well!
"Wasn't once enough"? Great answer there, Sully.
yeah...she was so retarded to asked that question!!!!
@@fernandog.aguirre2791 Typical reporter gibberish.
He is such a nice, sharp and humorous hero!
Well im curious too if he could pull this again and again, like in the safe environment at least. Curiousity led humanity into the position that we have planes in the first place and trained professional pilots like Sully, so its actually not a dumb question. Journalist's job is to be curious.
Wow, as many times as I've seen and read about this incident, is still gripped me with emotions. So very glad that everyone made it.
I really appreciate how much Sully values his crew. It's absolutely clear how much he values them and their work. It would be really easy to take all the credit but he gives it right back. He knows how much he needs them for a successful flight.
Good attitudes and working practices do not just happen, they come from a good example from the top. I imagine that if he saw a sweet wrapper on the floor prior to a flight, Sully would spend 10 seconds bending down to pick it up, rather than step over it and then spend 10 minutes writing a report to the cleaning company.
When a good example is set, everyone follows and goes home feeling contented that they have done a good job. Unfortunately, lazy habits and sloppy work can become equally contagious.
"Was it a miracle?"
Sully: "No, it was hard work"

It in part was a miracle. The calm water and conditions helped a lot
@@Mayrita77 what's remarkable enough about something completely common to warrant the usage of the word "miracle"? You're literally talking about weather here.

I got to ride in a car with this man and his wife, what an absolute legendary human being.
How quickly a group of strangers become a team along with the pilot and co- pilots, both heroes!
The Ethiopian Airline crash made me cry so much so that I decided to watch videos on Airplane crash and I came across The Flight Channel and then this video. I jst want to say 'Thank you God for saving their lives. And thank you Capt and your Assistant. God bless you all. And the passengers too."
Me too
Ohmygosh me toooo
Did you have relatives on the Ethiad flight? More people would've survived had they not inflated their lifejackets inside the aircraft which is a lesson to all that although the safety briefings at the beginning of the flight have almost become a caricature of themselves, that one simple bullet point of "do not inflate until outside the aircraft" could've saved a lot of people.
What, you have them on speed-dial? You the spokesperson for them all? By the way, the facts, all been documented on Air Crash Investigation, written up as such by the NTSB, so I would recommend the just don't go out house, don't turn on the telly and certainly don't go on the internet. Bah Gawd almighty.@Oswaldo Mowbray
Yeah, rip
Sully goes down in the history books alongside Al Haynes and Denny Fitch as old school pilots that could actually fly the damn aircraft .
That is so true. add to that list ; Captain Moody British Airlines and Captain Richard Champion de Crespigny Qantas and there are others.
I've witnessed first hand from the flight deck 10s of extremely skilled landings. Piloting expertise is still alive.
@@mitcho04 In your opinion, is there an over-reliance on auto pilot nowadays?
@@mikeroagreschen5350 I wouldn't say so, the pilot is always hands on the controls ready to take over if the autopilot operates in an unsafe way. Every pilot practices their manual flying even though they are using it less frequently commercially. The most critical stages of flight are manual operation, and it's often pilot discretion on how much autopilot to use. I've seen many operate the whole descent and approach manually.
@@mitcho04 Recent crashes could indicate over-reliance on instruments and failure to disengage computer-run auto-settings on trim etc though?
I can’t even express the admiration I have for this incredible man and pilot ❤️
Our world needs more captains like you Sir 🙏🏻
I love the fact that they kept the plane as is in a hanger. I hope they get into a museum so that we can see it. What a sturdy little beast!
I've been to the museum at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and seen the plane. They've displayed it unrestored...all the damage from the ditching and the recovery, the torn skin, the missing flaps, the scratches, is still there. And the remarkable thing really is how *little* damage there is. I swear it looks like that A320 could go in for a heavy maintenance check, get two new engines, and go back into service in a few weeks. It shows just how perfectly the crew managed the water landing.
Tearing up throughout this video , it is so touching! Captain Sully is a rare gem in this world. He gave credit to the entire industry involved in the saving mission and never wanted to take credit solely , what an incredible humble guy! He was right, it was hard work and not just a miracle.
"It's not possible"
Sully: "No...it's necessary"
Imagine he tried to land on a runway strip and risked everyone more realistically than how farfetched it sounded to land in the Hudson
Thank you Capt. Sully, First Officer Jeff Skiles, New York and New Jersey crew, for saving the lives of 155 souls. You are all amazing :-)
I listened to Captain Sully speak at Purdue. He is such a well spoken man, extremely intelligent and humble. Such a brave man, truly amazing.
14 years and I still get chills. Big up to Captain Scully for giving praises where it is due. We need more like him. They will never ever forget this.
Does anyone else think Captain Sully will make a great Voice Over Artist!? Such a Soothing voice
First class voice
We made a runway out of a river May God bless you Caption Sully and co pilot Jeff🙏🏾🙇🏽
He is so modest. A true American hero. So much of what we see in the world around us is false and dishonest, but this makes you glad to be alive. The height of professionalism and service....
Credits need to go to the passengers getting out of the plane and helping each other. And to New York ferry people who rushed to rescue these survivors. 💕🙏
Those ferry workers are the unsung heroes of The Miracle on the Hudson and deserve to be honored right along with Sullenberger and Skiles.
Sully and his co-pilot and all the rescuers after were the miracles!
Captain Sully is right when he said: « it’s a team effort». Everybody done it’s job on that day of january 15th 2009. Captain Sully is a good commander and a real leader. He’s for a lot of people not just a hero, he’s an example in the aviation. He will help in the future to prevent a lot of accident of this type.
And again, Thank You Captain Sully ! 😊👍
A MAN with honor and values never take the gratitude only for himself. This is the kind of person which America should be proud of. Respect from EU.

He once said to Sully that if he hadn't flown into the birds Sully would never have been a celebrity
Wow. I'm amazed. I've seen the movie twice and it's absolutely one of my favorites. It is so great to have this video from the real hero.
The art of a water landing had fascinated him and I believe he wrote a paper on it some time before this event happened so he was probably the most prepared pilot for this exact situation.
Should thanks to Airbus too, in making a tough plane, that resist the impact
Actually the Airbus did help. The flight computers will not let the pilot compromise the plane's ability to fly. So when it landed and he yanked back the control stick to keep the nose up the plane would only keep the nose up so far as to retain stability.
Luis V yes
Erm.........resist the impact part though it’s a yes and no haha. Yes for the aircraft not into pieces, no for the aft bulkhead being broken.....
@@junrenong8576 you have no clue of water landings and there usual outcome in pieces.
@@mattblom3990 every plane does that. It prevents your plane from stalling.
Further to this video, I just want to remind everyone that Sully is trying to stop the US air traffic control system from being privatised. I hope he succeeds. Sully is also working towards implementing and improving aviation safety measures by using his high profile resulting from the controlled landing in the Hudson. In my opinion Sully is to be greatly admired.
Scott Lewis Parsons he already was on the safety board and improving aviation safety before this incident.
Emma • DoenInBerlijn yes but his high profile gives him more power! He was the right person for this situation.
Forgive my ignorance and what Sully did was an amazing feat of flying and safety can always be improved but how the hell do you improve safety that guarantees so far as possible that ditching almost becomes survivable? If you look at the number of flights that have had a total engine failure, Gimli Glider, BA St. Elmo's FIre (1982), I forget the one that did an emergency landing by a levvi, it seems to be more survivable than most, however, look at the Ethiad highjacking, experts say he nearly had that down in 1 piece but waves clipped the engines/wings. I am genuinely interested and always have been in how in this day and age of tech and science that an aircraft can't survive longer even remain afloat after ditching.
Yeah, the government always does such a great job, on time and under budget, with world class customer service.
Indeed. He is a patriot.
this was an incredible team effort on behalf of the pilot, the first officer and the cabin crew. Wish
the whole team was being celebrated as they deserved
"We're gonna be in the Hudson"
-Captain Sully Sullenberger THE BOSS
What an awesome man! He literally threaded a needle. He had to land at exactly the right angle and let's not forget the First Officer who is equally brave. So glad all these lives are still here. Just a great American story.
Where is co-pilot, Jeff? He is a part of this job too.
Yeah
The copilot literally does the other half of what the pilot does, except that the pilot has final say in the decisions. So Jeff where you at?? You and the crew need praise too!
He unfortunately died back in 2012, I believe
@@baldaslove no he’s still alive, he may have been piloting another flight
@@veerrajjabbal137 Yes, my bad. I mixed up with the information. He’s a captain for AA now, I believe?
Amazing story....amazing Sully....i also love how the Hudson ferries sprung into action immediately and went straight to the plane!!!!
Such a professional, well-spoken man, the definition of a leader and a captain!
The guy in 1C is like 'Yeah, I was in first class suckas!'.
Yeah... only that first class people forget that their seats crash too
@@LS-Moto and usually first too ;) if the plane nose dives
Krypto_98 for a 2 second difference I’d still take first class.
Lol Vids ?
Lol Vids Saw him in a documentary. He was in first class.
I always hate it how the CO-Pilot gets no attention.
Kim Jong Un
The first officer wasn’t flying or doing the radio comms when it happened
A co-pilot DID get all the attention -- a co-pilot who flew for Germanwings.
FO Jeff Skiles WAS actually PIC when the aircraft departed and in the climb out. Cpt Sullenberger, as is the right of the senior pilot, immediately took command of the stricken aircraft, while FO Skiles referenced the QR handbook and tried parameters for the restart of engines (outside of parameters) and maximizing glide etc. They were a successful "team" but Sully was the Captain and ultimately responsible for the aircraft. The MEDIA was really responsible for singling him out as everyone loves a hero.
@@Magic101trainer Umm no, Skiles was pilot flying for that leg. There is only one PIC and that is the Captain.
He got his due, I think. I guess he wasn't there for the taping since he is still flying for American (which merged with US Airways a few years after this incident)
Even till the very last moment, the captain was thinking about whether everyone had been accounted for and if they were alright before he could breathe a sigh of relief. The right mindset to have but still a tremendous selflessness on his part.
Great job, Sully. You brought me to tears when you said you weren't relieved until you knew that everyone on board was alive and accounted for. 💕💎✨

Landing in the river.... He's a hero
