YouTube - First Impact Footage -- US Airways Flight 1549 Hudson River Crash

 

Thats pretty decent footage. I still can't believe the pilot pulled that off. MAJOR props.

 

+1!

 

I bet he could have used some at around 3,000 feet...

 

Very cool.

 

Here's a full animation with the cockpit/tower recordings...

he was determined to land in the hudson, smart move and big props to him

 

There were only about million things that could have altered the outcome of this emergency landing in the Huson that and destroyed that plane, killing all on board. For no one to be killed is simply an amazing piece of flying that took place. I think a lot of people today may think this something that can be done again. The chances of this ever happening again with the same outcome is probably unrealistic to hope for. Cheers to Scully for being the right guy at the right time to make this the success story it has become. What an accomplishment!!!!!!!!
