    My favorite aviation story is still the time I was on a seemingly normal domestic flight, that had already been delayed a few hours, and then around when we should’ve landed, I realized the plane was just in a holding pattern, for a lot longer than it should’ve been. The pilot then said over the PA that the landing was delayed because there was “*something* on the runway” (said in slightly annoyed tone) I was incredibly confused why the pilot sounded more irritated than anything, since I immediately assumed the worst, like a previous plane had crashed. After a while, the pilot said we were clear, and we landed, he never explained the delay. Then my brother (who always wanted to be a pilot, and worked in an airport for a while) came to pick me up, and he was laughing incredibly hard. Turns out he was listening to the ATC radio signal, and the “*something*” that was on the runway… was a possum.

    Sully had so much criticism at the time, but what he did was outstanding. The amount of pilots who simulated the same path and said "he could've made it", or those who commented on his state of mind, was astounding to me. Sully made every second count, and I firmly believe if he could've made it, he would've made it. The shear knowledge and skill it took to land that plane, in the water, without killing a passenger, without taking out any boats, and without rolling the airplane, was absolutely phenomenal.
    I wish more people talked about the air traffic controller, who probably also had the worst day of his life, sitting there in silence, thinking he's lost a plane and all its passengers on his watch, while sully is deciding he has to land an airplane into a river.

    Fun Fact: When he was talking about "Flight" he mentions an insecure first officer being too scared to correct his more experienced Captain. Before all airlines globally switched to communication in English, this behavior caused dozens of crashes of Korean flights because contradicting your older and more experienced superior does against the entirety of Korean culture. This wasn't discovered until the switch to all English communication and American or European pilots would listen in on Korean flight crew comms and finally discovered captains making mistakes that would never be corrected by their XO.

      It was actually the crash of a hijacked Boeing 777 that started them training for water landings. The pilot made a mistake ditching the plane with no fuel.

    15:00 It wasn't so much the "number" of birds, as the size of the birds. These were large Canadian geese, not the chickens they test engines with. Two hit each engine. Most importantly, one went through the core of each engine, which took the engines out. Had the cores is not taken a direct hit, the engines might have still generated some thrust.

    Sully said in an interview when he told everyone to "brace for impact" he knew the most common thing to say in an emergency was 'brace' but since they would be hitting the water it would be a greater impact than hitting a runway or landing strip so he decided to include the word 'impact' as an imminent warning for how severe the landing was going to be. Luckily through his phenomenal piloting they landed quite smoothly and everyone got off the plane. Truly a great pilot and awesome guy.

    At 10:30 he mentions “controlled rest” or CRIP (controlled rest in position). This is allowed in several but not all countries. The United States FAA has still outlawed CRIP as of right now. The countries that have implemented CRIP (namely Canada and Australia) only allow pilots to sleep for a maximum of 45 minutes and both pilots must be awake at least 15 minutes before any critical phase of flight (generally the descent). Just didn’t want people to think that their captain or first officer is asleep on the job.

      in a healthy job enviroment workers health should always be prioritized, so having a worker be tired BECAUSE of his job shouldn't happen.

But imo CRIP seems to be a good way to give overtired pilots the chance to rest so they have enough power to do their job correctly.

    • @ammaleslie509
      @ammaleslie509 3 года назад +4

      I have a fear of flying too. But i saw Sully in the theatre and have seen it on television since. Oddly enough, Sully is both tense and comforting, because you already know that everyone is going to survive. So you watch to see how they manage to survive, and how he proves that he made the only decision possible at the time in spite of experts claiming he should have tried other ways to save the plane.
      It is a fine movie and Tom Hanks is superb as always and I highly recommend it. I am terrified to fly and I love "Sully".

    It was nice to see you explain a little about the hand signals.

It's been almost 20 years and I still remember all the hand signals.

    Not only do inexperienced pilots sometimes fail to say something when their more experienced copilot is being reckless, but it was also the primary cause of the deadliest aviation incident in history, when the experienced pilot started taking off without clearance and rammed into another plane that was still on the runway. 583 people died. Tenerife airport disaster.

    I watched a talk by Jeff Skiles, the first officer on the Hudson River crash, and he said he really only got through about a page and a half of that 3 page checklist before he ran out of time since the checklist was built for a double engine failure at like 30,000 feet and not 3,000 feet. He did as much as he could. He's really fascinating to listen to!

    At the end of the day, Captain Sully took the moral decision of putting at risk ONLY the souls on board of the plane instead of the souls on board AND all the souls in one of the most crowded cities in the world. What would have happened if they couldn't make it? Everybody in the plane would have died and probably tens or even hundreds in land would have died or being injured.

    The first officer portrayed in the United 93 was actually my cousin who is an actual pilot in real life. He stayed with me in the UK where some of the filming took place. He had also known of the real pilot LeRoy Homer who had tragically died with the passengers, and flight crew with the hijacking that took place. The film was extremely authentic as the majority of the people in the movie were actual mirrors of air and ground crews.
