I was on this flight....I've never seen an Individual so calm and confident before in my life...Coming out of the cockpit and helping us to evacuate the aircraft safely. Thank you sir for saving all 155 of us, and possibly hundreds of innocent civilians.
Wow! I keep coming back to this interview because I like aviation and expertise in aviation gives me chills. I'm so glad that you and the rest of the passengers survived. You were truly in the best hands. What was the mood like on the plane during the rapid descent and at the evacuation?
Can you share me what you experienced. Need to write article. I am from Pakistan.
No you werent lol
Total of professional intelligence and a God gift of talent
Amen
This guy deserves an 12 foot tall statue by the Hudson River in New York. A true hero.
The anarchists/lefties/dem’s would tear it down. 🤪
@@beckyweaver5981 lmao you somehow made this political
Becky Weaver get some help, black lives shouldn’t be political.
@@PB-rz8lz no. They shouldnt. But they make it that way.
It would just be torn down because it's "racist"
Listening to Captain Sully, so eloquently describe that day, was like listening to 12 precious minutes of the most beautiful poetry.
If you can, try to find his remarks at a senate or congressional meeting about this event. Then another meeting about what happens to airline employees when an airline claims bankruptcy after an event like this. This man is brilliant.
40,000 hours of combined flight experience condensed into 4 minutes of methodical and calculated action = 155 survivors.
That was an excellent day for him and for the people I'm bored and God was with them
Wrong wording I was not bored
@@raysoto6886 first thing he says in this video, “this was the worst day of my life” not an excellent day.
@@raysoto6886 I don't think God had anything to do with it, never underestimate the instinct of survival. Pooled with the knowledge and experience those pilots had was what got them through. They are both hereos.
@@2011Rodders that's your opinion that's fine with myself God has something to do with it too
I felt like I spent last 12 minutes listening to the most intelligent person on planet.
You did!
He’s told this san same story 10,000 times. Very well rehearsed
@@drdrew3 Yep. He will likely have to tell it another 20k times before he leaves us!!! He is a true stud!!!!
I couldn't agree with you more.
This guy really had everything going on to give those people the best chance of surviving. He is extremely smart, both educated and a lot of common sense. He was a very experienced commercial pilot and paid attention to detail. He was a very successful military pilot. Before this he served on the NTSB board, so he was aware of the fine details of aviation accidents. He also clearly has a heart and is a true leader, and selfless in a profession that he clearly enjoyed. This is a great example of why loving your career and doing your best every day as a person can pay it forward in the end. Sully delivered.
People don’t give his first officer enough credit. They both saved hundreds of lives that day
The first officer was patient enough . I give him credit.
@@Paul-bt5yo And very well trained and EXPERIENCED !!!
Capt Sully- high IQ, common sense, expert critical thinking skills coupled with calm, respectful demeanor. God bless you and your precious family!
true pilot. couldn’t have been a better man to land that plane
Sully and Jeff are heroes. I've watched many (all the) documentaries about commercial airplane accidents. Many of those accidents involve weather, darkness, flying over the ocean, navigationa errors, and mechanical failures. But, confusion in the cockpit is almost always a factor. It either causes a problem, or makes it worse. They were lucky, it was a clear day, no rain or storms, no heavy crosswinds, the river was relatively calm. But there has never been an emergency water landing of a commercial passenger jet without a fatality, that I know of. (aside from planes designed to land on water) It has never happened. And hearing him speak about this is riveting. The intense focus of that few minutes of both pilots. Working together, focusing only on what was needed in the moment, using a few chosen words on the radio and to the crew. This is an amazing story.
Don’t forget Jeff Skiles was there, running checklists, trying relentlessly to restart the engines. The flight attendants were instrumental as well. Remarkable crew.
All heroes
Agreed ++++++ It's why Sully ALWAYS mentions Jeff as an equal partner in the landing (even though they missed the Intrepid docked a few miles away on the Hudson....no one is perfect ...haha).
Total team effort.
Well....apparently he sucks at restarting them.
@The man who didn't follow the damn train Hey bro. When did they allow inmates to use computers in prison? You had a few minutes on the prison computer and you replied to me? What about your girl......oh wait, you like the guys i guess.
@@garpikemike1 Try it sometime from the safety of your mommies basement!!!!
Others: "PLANE CRASH!"
Captain Sully: "Flight path intersecting the surface of the earth."
Right?!
Sully said-forced water landing....
@@zeke2566
4:05
I knew it would only be a matter of a few minutes before our flight path intersected the surface of the earth
Even during the interview he chooses his words, just like his PA
Glad I’m not the only one who thought the same thing.
Listening to his CVR is amazing because in real life, in a real emergency, he sounded calmer than Tom Hanks did in the portrayal of the incident.
That's professionalism :)
Gives me chills when I hear 'unable'!
Hollywood rarely does the right thing
Why wouldn't he be calm? The onboard systems were fully operational and making all the calculations for him. Such was not the case with UA-232...they were in unchartered territory. Boy Wonder only had to sit there Fat/Dumb/Happy and raise the Nose.
@@LGLDSR71 Wow...
The fact this video was 5 years ago AND people are still commenting, almost twice a day, speaks volumes.
The greatest statement "I am well-read to know that Multi-tasking is a myth". This guy is smart.
Amen! Sully knows cockpit protocol ~ NOW better than anyone. The public would be well served if Boeing, Airbus, or any other manufacturer private, corporate, or commercial, company pays him for experience, and all the contributions he can offer them. Cockpit discipline and calm is what let this bird fly safely to the earth
I can multitask, I drink coke while reading and listening to music all the time.
Right.....multitasking is a myth. Tell that to a drummer.
@The man who didn't follow the damn train But you don't do either thing as well as you could if you only did one at a time....and I bet his mum is hoping you pick her
mike Lazembie LMAOOO imagine comparing a fucking drummer to landing a plane with no engines in a river while being responsible for the lives of over 150 people. Use your brain.
I could listen to Captain Sullenberger talk for hours. What a well-spoken, thoughtful, intelligent man.
"The morning started just like any other morning. Then we got hit by geese that ignored orders to stay clear from the control tower."
Agree. He's perfect. I love an intelligent man.
lolol A lifetime of financial endowments for supposedly validating another MASSIVE non-event. Despicable NITWIT sellout is more like it. HOAX
He liked Gliding planes which helped him land the plane
@@sharonwatson4428 Yes dear Watson. He also glided the von Zeppelin & last Capsule from Space. He's an original Wright bros. Glider also. A phenom. Just ask Elvis & Colonel Parker. Sorry, i meant Tom Hanks
“Because I learned my craft so well, I knew my aircraft so intimately, I could set clear priorities” man I wish they made guys like this still
I want this dude to read me bedtime stories. His voice and cadence is so chill
I love how he gives credit to the co-pilot who also did an outstanding job and nobody talks about
Humbleness belongs only to the great.
Well, he's saying they both were experienced and he needed that from his FO for him to even have a chance to do what he did. They were both critical. Not all Sully, not all Skiles.
Yeah theyre both responsible for hitting the geese and crashing the plane.
@@garpikemike1 You're more concerned about the fucking geese than the humans? What kind of fucking idiot are you?
I was train driver for 6 years - and I'm not attempting to consider that as being equal to a pilot position - but my instructor said something that stuck in my mind. "Most of the time, your job will be mundane and even boring. But one day, a situation may happen that will require the full use of your decision making skills. That's the day you earn your salary."
I think on that cold January day in 2009, Captain Sullenberger earned every single cent he's ever been paid in his flying career.
Fabulous commentary ! 😀
You are considered to a pilot. You piloted a train. In your world it's called Conductor. Those are words to the wise. I hope he showed you well how to do that. I could not imagine piloting a plane or conducting a train being mundane.
I agree 100%. No one can tell you that you're 'good' at your job if all they've seen is you in optimal conditions. It's the difficult times are the true moments where you're being evaluated. Good job Captain Sully.
It is mundane if you are well trained and skilled, otherwise it is not difficult to make a disaster
So clear, concise and well articulated. No wonder his decision making skills were so good. Lots of people don’t realise that in most incidents in aviation, panic takes over and pilots lose situational awareness. For this man to think so clearly in the face of calamity is absolutely incredible. Hats off!
As a human being, you NEVER EVER wanna hear the Captain say "This is the Captain, Brace for Impact"! However as a Flight attendant, the training we receive prepares us to ACTUALLY wanna hear the Captain say "This is the Captain, Brace for Impact"!
Way to Go Captain Sully!!!! 🙏🏻
At first my mind said "huh?" Then it hit me. If you hear that you know your pilot is in as much control of the situation as humanly possible and not succumbing to fear. Kudos to all serve the airline industry, yourself included.
@@iamme453 Exactly 💯 And thank you 🙏🏻 We're mentally prepared every day to expect anything, so everyone will be in safe hands and that's a promise ❤️
Wish he was in the White House. Courage, skill, competence, concern, empathy.
Meritocracy is not possible
He doesn't recognise himself as a hero, he recognises himself as doing a job. What a guy, he's so well spoken.
Well that is the sign of a true Hero.
The ones who say they are are usually not the true heroes.
It's the same about firefighters saving people in burning buildings, rarely they describe themselves as heroes, but in a lot of cases they are!
@@srenkoch6127 Than why is he on the. internet every time a plane has engine trouble, move on man.
@@srenkoch6127 Yep
Tom hanks absolutely perfect for the part he portrayed
He's a top flight pilot of course He's well spoken lol
I've been a licensed pilot since 1984. I would never but myself in the category of Sullenberger, or anyone like him. What I can say is, he is 100% correct about the training for water landings. It literally consists of not much more than pictures in a book, or drawings on a chalkboard, and discussion in the class room. The fact that flight crew pulled it off at all, much less no real injuries or fatalities, is a tribute to their experience and skills.
This is what expertise looks like. It’s rare and amazing to see.
He is and will remain the personification of rule 1 in aviation. Fly the aircraft.
More like an example to make sure not to get complacent about geese until.reaching a safe altitude.
Rule #2; Land the aircraft.
@@Betterifitsfree no, aviate navigate communicate
@@betsegg Spot on. The rules that are drummed into you. Fly the aircraft, find somewhere to land it then tell others the plan.
as a canadian i firmly apologize for our birds
You don't have too, they were just geese.
underrated comment lol
Planes aren't the only thing they make a mess of.
Have you ever tried to walk in a town when they infest a field or pond? For they wander for hundreds of yards, nibbling on the grass and pooping EVERYWHERE. Green poop in the grass, on the sidewalks, on the roads!
And aggressive, ... you get too close they chase you trying to nip you!
They are pretty to watch in flight. But not so pretty up close.
@@ronsss4774 Lots of geese hung out along a greenway near where I used to live. They were nasty enough to begin with but once they had their goslings with them you would literally have to walk off the path to avoid being attacked by them.
A little white wine, garlic, celery, pepper, about 90 minutes, 160 - 180 degrees. Don't apologize.
“I’ve delivered over one million passengers in the air and in the end, I’m going to be judged on two hundred and eight seconds”-Captain (Sully) Sullenburger❤❤❤❤❤All hail the world of aviations true hero.
And he graduated with flying colours!
My dads stepsister was a stewardest on this flight, thank you for making the difficult choice, but get everyone out alive!
I really don't understand our world sometimes.. 205 people disliked this video... A video of a man who saved the lives of 155 passengers in a remarkable moment.. God bless him..
Some people, for whatever reason, just don't get it! ( they are probably
Is not people dum IS THE BIRD THE BIRD PREES DISLIKE
There are kids out there pressing dislike buttons for fun. I know a few who do that because they’re bored, have problems.
Maybe they were wanting more video footage, maybe they didn’t like that the video was monetised with ads to profit off this, maybe the video wouldn’t stop buffering for them. There’s thousands of subjective reasons somebody might want to hit dislike, you don’t need many brain cells to realise there are more reasons beyond disliking the fact that he saved lives.
@@TeamPhantomAlpha People still watch with ads ? :D
This is a text book example of someone who is so good at what they do, they need no showmanship or flash. It is just raw power, knowledge, and skill. The way Sully explained the events of the crash were so measured and exact, not a single word was wasted or unnecessary. Pure skill.
Imagine if it had been a female pilot. 70% of the passengers wouldn't have made it and the video would have been an hour long.
Let's be true here, Sully had several years and a whole lot of terrible criticism for what happened, he had to get his story exact and he had to relive what happened to a T in order to achieve this composure and understanding.

@@ryaneye6347 if one could just walk a mile in his shoes...
holy hell that guy can tell a story, i coulndt stop listening
What an amazing commentary. I’d love to hear him narrate an audiobook on this. Hell I’d love to hear him narrating any book. A very soothing listenable voice
This is an incredible demonstration of the selection process of a military fast jet pilot, this is what saved everyone on this plane. Not only did he go through the most difficult military selection process in the world, for all accounts he was one of the best in his squadron. This was not an ordinary airline pilot, but an elite fighter pilot, and its these skills and the selection process that gave him the skills to land that plane. Its people like him keeping our skies save today, who will be the next generation of airline pilots.
Im just suprised the plane didn't go down sooner with the weight of Sullys Huge Balls weighing down the entire craft.....
I had a similar concern myself
Bet his pants are tailored.
Best comment I've ever seen and the best sub comment it's so fucking funny laughing so damn hard right now tailored LMFAO
Probably could have completed the flight without the engines if sullys balls weren’t on that flight
Hahaha
“I wanted to sound confident, not agitated because I knew courage can be contagious”
The kind of captain you’d want in any crisis.
He is a living LEGEND notice he says we and not me involving everybody as a team 👌 what a gentleman god bless you Sully saving all of the lives onboard truly AMAZING 👏👏👏
Coolest guy ever. So calm and collected. Perfect guy to be a pilot
This guy looks like Tom Hanks from the movie Sully

Captain Sully. You had the best "worst day of your life" you could have had. My aunt was on that flight.
You are the man.
This is honestly one of the only human beings I look up to in another level
"No one died, I was the last one off the aircraft" American hero!!!
This guy is a legend. That accident should have caused damage, but he saved the day. True hero in real life.
True. Ppl will be speaking for generations about the idiot who was ordering coffee instead of watching out for the huge visible flocks of Geese known to migrate that time.of yr until reaching a safe altitude.
"Multitasking is a myth. when we think we're multitasking what we're actually doing is switching rapidly between the tasks and not doing them well."
A man who knows the truth, and then proved the truth on that fateful day.
This guy is a living legend.
As an Aussie, I have to say that this is an episode that makes the US seem special. I hope it stays that way.
I started tearing up around 8 minutes when he talked about the flight attendants instructing the passengers in unison. This pilot did an amazing job
I don’t know someone who is that well spoken
Me fail English? That's unpossible.
@@Sixstringman u gotta point i’ll fix that😂😂😂
Well spoken
Jordan Peterson is the only other person I can think of.
Go check serial killer Edmund kemper lol
No miracle. Just exceptional courage, skill and professionalism.
" You say tomatow I say tomatoe !
A commercial pilot with previous military flight experience, high intelligence, and excellent character-the passengers and crew were truly blessed that day.
One of Earth's mightiest real Heroes...
"Multitasking is a myth", incredibly interesting and wise words. Companies should take note.
I was shocked by his words. Some flight instructors constantly push for multi-tasking.
I disagree but I haven't read from his book.
Multitasking definition may vary.
When you see a person writing with one hand and using the other to also write... a rare thing but possible. Is that multitasking?
In his situation though, that sure wasn't ideal. You need to focus on the essencials in any emergency situation. Actually your pre-set to act that way. Is something still in our nature our survival instinct.
You can multitask. Do 2 things at same time. But it takes you to be calm and not worried or nervous.. He was nervous and could not. Skyles helped a lot..
it sure is. Thats why there is always a first officer to help you out. PIC flies, FO supports and gives you advices.
@@CFITOMAHAWK Do two things at once is doing each at less than 50%. It makes no sense. Don't half ass two things, whole ass one thing.
This guy could describe opening a bag of potato chips, and I'd be glued to my seat.
Merlin as Pilot for Delta Airlines!
He's a brilliant guy and a tremendous speaker - you're right.
me too
@Onbored, You should do standup. Your comment is irreverent but had me laughing anyways.
@@mikecranapple8878 I didn't mean it to be disrespectful, he just has a good way with words. =)
Out of all the pilots in the world this guy happened to be in the cockpit. So wild.
Not sure how the plane floated in the water with your massive Steel balls Congratulations and massive respect to all personnel working on this plane
If i had to pay 100$ extra for this guy to be my pilot, I'd happily pay every single flight without any doubts or regrets.
As I know captain Sully is retired.God bless him.
@@misasavic5073 still flies though. Maybe you could contract him for private charter flights 😜
11 years ago. What a day this was. What a day in history this will forever be
I just saw the movie, what a thing
I was truly impressed by his eloquence. His words were precise and well-crafted, displaying an unparalleled level of communication proficiency.
Not a miracle. Just a highly competent and highly experienced professional doing his job under extreme circumstances.
Very true. Miracle tends to put the focus on luck and fate, and perhaps even too much on divine intervention. It takes away from Sully's and Jeff's skill; education; precision,: training; experience; comprehension; communication; and ability to focus intensively in a high-stress environment.
The miracle would be that they didn't suffer the bird strike earlier.
How true but no one could recreat what they did in simulators! Genuine professionalism on the highest level!
Yes there it is was a miracle. The miracle was: Jeff and Sully were in control. Most other pilots would not have saved this plane
Cedar W exactly what I was going to say. The miracle was that these two gentleman were in the cockpit that day.
Last to get out of the plane. 4 hours later got the report that everyone was accounted for - "then my immediate duties were completed".
RESPECT.
Francesco Schettino: ???
Like já said, he knew how his words would impact directly in his crew and the passengers!
The whole situation was under control since Cpt Sully was sitting there!
Remarkable and admirable human being!
Respect this man!
I can't imagine his emotions and thoughts between the point of landing and making sure that everyone was off the plane, and eventually hearing that everyone was alive and accounted for.
Notice how he blinks his eyes rapidly after that sentence.... That ment much to him. He tries not to cry....
Sir Ernest Shackleton had the same feeling in August 1916 when he returned to elephant island to rescue all his crew. He was thrilled they had all survived
You can tell this was intense because he described 3-4 seconds as an EXTRAVAGANT amount of time. That literally stresses the point that each second counted
Yes, quite chilling when coming from the man himself, no documentary or movie will capture this
Hero. This discipline and judgement should be studied by all of us.
"I knew it was only a matter of minutes before our flightpath intercepted the surface of the earth." Talk about an intelligent, articulate way of saying, "We're gonna crash soon". What a formidable individual
The attitude Sully had of knowing that everything would be alright as long as he never gave up and had everything under control is something we need more of. They say fight until the end, and that's exactly what he did. He saw his options, he knew he'd end up in the Hudson, and he professionally took the risk.
When he put that aircraft on the water and everyone was evacuated, he walked through the aircraft one more time to see if anyone was still on board. Also I was told he had taken glider training which helped. It was, and will always be, the right call.
He has to go thru the plane to check if anyone was left behind, it's his duty as Captain. Purser has to check on Captain too, make sure Captain is well and able before leaving the aircraft.
@@victorromero2621 I hate when people discredit a heroic act by saying “it was their job.” I suppose you don’t tip at restaurants either.
Walking through the aircraft was his job. Failure to do so would have been gross negligence.
@@Chuck86724 No, I would not be the first on the wing. I would help Sully out first and then double check to ensure no one was left behind.
Yes so true he when back to make sure no body was inside that was amazing and he show great humility only God to me did that yes where by no life was lost 🙏💯
That’s the kind of leadership, clarity of mind and respect for life we would need from politicians…
Not all heroes wear capes and tights, most wear coats and ties. This one is a true hero! Thank you Captain Sullenberger..
As a doctor I save more lives in a lifetime by prescribing people maintenance drugs for the rest of their lives.
I am glad I did not become a pilot.
"I wanted to sound confident not agitated, because i knew that courage could be contagious"
👏👏👏👏👏
Sully is a role model. Confident and humble at the same time. Gives credit to everyone, even the passengers. And was the last man off the plane!
Humble??? Lmmfao!! Good one!
mike Lazembie why is it funny to call him humble??
I feel bad for him. Truly. Tha agonizing pain he must be in all the time. Could you imagine... carry the mountain size balls he has. Simply amazing.
It's an honor to call Capt Sullenberger a fellow Air Force Veteran. It's clear to me that his years of experience as an Air Force Captain, aided in his challenge on 1/19/2009. I think it's also interesting that prior to his enlistment in the US Air Force he was a Glider Pilot and Gilder Instructor.
No doubt, he was the right man, in the right place at the right time on that fateful day.
Period
If he's an office he commissioned not enlisted. Leave it to a chairman to fuck it up
lol@@trashuogaming3330
There should be a statue of this guy on the Hudson shoreline.
WE NEED TO ENDORSE HIM AS THE PRESIDENT
Sully is a textbook example of a person with exceptional skill and self-confidence, and very little arrogance. He knew exactly what he was capable of without doubting himself, but was willing to accept assistance and request suggestions from Skiles. We should all endeavor to achieve this level of capability and self-awareness.
Captain Sully's description is simply beautiful.
I miss this New York , this America .
Impressive engineering on the plane. Not because it survived the water landing but because it even managed to get airborne while carrying the captains’ massive balls
Wow !
Wow !
Wow !
Wow !
Wow !
Every time I see a documentary with Sully, it brings a tear to my eyes. Such an intelligent, well-spoken, humble person. Sheer professionalism.
Sully for President!
A PRIME Example of a WELL TRAINED MILITARY MAN!!!!!
Be calm AND DO YOUR MISSION
Remember Your TRAINING
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The importance of choosing the right word. The importance of being well read. The importance of having well defined role.
Not to mention: The importance of superb equipment. The importance of superb training. The importance of superb teamwork.
Who can dislike this? A Canada goose?
If ever there was doubt of this man integrity and heroism, let it slip quietly away. For not only did he lead with calm, calculating discipline, he spread the credit to each and everyone on that plane including the passengers. And you believe with all you heart it isn’t just lip service, he means every word. A much needed example of someone to look up to in this day and age.
Very good take, sir
You imagine the adrenaline and the happiness of being alive once you realize you’re still there after impact
Could you imagine the passenger’s reactions when he finally exited the cockpit
I can't understand how this man didn't get the presidential medal of freedom, he executed his job to perfection and saved every life.
"When we think we are multi-tasking, what we are in fact doing is switching rapidly between tasks, not doing either of them well.." This just destroyed my daily routine.
The way Sully speaks is the way he flies his planes is the way Tom Hanks acts - perfection. Just listening to Sully's explanation put me at ease - he describes those split seconds of life-or-death scenario in this video. People of his stature, of such experience are literally able to judge dozens if not hundreds of different outcomes and scenarios and pick the best one. This video is basically the record of what was going through his mind, only speed it up a hundred or more.
Water Landin -t'was not a crash, I knew what I was doing.
This man is a national hero, extremely humble, well spoken, and calm. This is what you want in a pilot. Not to mention if this man wasn't an EXTREMELY well trained and experienced pilot, having flown fighter jets, most wouldn't have been able to make the decision to turn towards the water.
When this man dies, it's gonna take a crane to handle his casket due to the weight of his balls.
Truer words have never been spoken... 🍻🍻
Or the size of his head
come up with something original damn
LSU FAN and another to handle his ego.
LSU FAN lol, best comment of them all and so true
Sully said it was the worst day of his life, but I believe it was his finest hour.
Nobody wants to be forced into a game of probabilities .. with lives in the balance.
both his worst day and finest hour.
A lot of people online say it was staged
@@exitscreaming why would people stage this?
@@exitscreaming Define: "A lot of people".
The internet's a big fucking place, you're going to have to be a bit more specific. Lots of people are racist, degenerate morons. It doesn't make their viewpoints any more relevant.
Last man off wasn’t at ease until he learned every passenger and crew were okay. True captain right there.
Captain Sully, First Officer Skiles, and the cabin crew are heroes. This very easily could have resulted in total loss of life
"brace! brace! brace!
head down, stay down!"
give me the chills
I watched a short from the movie...got goosebumps still 🙂
As a 7000+ commercial pilot, I consider Sully and the first officer true heroes saving hundreds of lives. Their experience and quick thinking in a crisis is something that few pilots would be able to do.
Heroes?..it's their
payed profession.
And it was no miracle.
@@r0ky_M Absolutely agree with you. It's no miracle when pilots sailing a commercial plane into a 20°F river whithout someone dying because they are PAYED for it. Money solves everything. Pay them pilots more = No more plane crashes.. You're such a mastemind. Go share your insight with the rest of this planet.
@@TrafficDE
Read the NTSB report
and learn something.
@@r0ky_M The NTSB report says nothing about miracle or heroism or how the payment affected the outcome of the crash.
@@r0ky_M someones watched the sully film and sides with the ntsb... shutup you immature armchair expert
Not just skilled at his craft but articulate and well spoken. Outstanding team leadership, a brilliant mind and an asset to his industry and to America.
Those 42 years trained you for this day!!! God bless you Sully!!!
The fact that he was the last one off the plane is even more amazing, absolute legend.
LySergic D I agree, well said.
The pinnacle of emotional intelligence. What a hero.
No, the pinnacle of rational intelligence. He postponed emotion for later. I agree with the hero part.
I love how three words from the captain were enough to inform the cabin crew of what was happening and how they should respond. Amazing teamwork and crisis management from everyone.
This is not a miracle, this is years of experience and amazing judgment. Give him the whole credit.
I totally agree! But also, I think (other than a catchy title) the reason they call it a “miracle” is that he could have done everything right with all his experience and judgement and still had a much worse outcome.
YES..Experince..To know to take it down with the
nose up
and the tail down saved all those lives..
Every day, people like this man, who you will likely never see, never meet, never speak to, are protecting your life. Police Officers, Fireman, Pilots, Military members, Ambulance drivers, Boat Captains, Doctors, Nurses, and many others. These people are taken for granted, and mostly invisible to the rest of us, until that fateful day when we need them the most. These people deserve your respect and appreciation, even when they are not doing something remarkable. Sully was "just another pilot" before this event occurred, and had it not occurred, none of us would know who he is or anything about his past, or how dedicated he was/is to his craft. We tend to focus on the bad people far too often and not look for the good ones. A lot of pilots drink and fly. A lot of cops do bad things on the job. Lord knows boat captains have cost lives by being negligent. But they are the exception, not the rule. Any of you who do something every day to keep others safe and take your job so seriously that you could do it blindfolded, I want you to know that not everyone takes you for granted.
Imagine this is a job interview, and this is his answer to the question, "Tell me about the toughest decision you had to make in your last job."
Two minutes into the video, but already feeling chills.
Lets just be grateful no one died. Amazing work by Sully.
I always come back to this video when I need to be reminded that incredibly skilled people who deeply care for others exist in this world. It always makes me feel better.
Facts!
