Excellent Job by the pilot and crew.

Cheers that no one was hurt other than the one passenger with two broke legs.

Re: US Air down in Hudson River
someone leaked his IQ and school records...the guy is a genious and it shows...he landed that HUGE plane in the river and it did not break up or sink. He hit at the perfect angle and glided across the water like a boat. That man, is an American Hero....over 150 lives saved to his credit...

Re: US Air down in Hudson River
i read somewhere that he was in USAF. Great maneuver, with a lot of luck. There should be some boats on river or something. Good decisions by pilot.
And how the hell did he make that plane not to sink...
edit.: i chose my avatar as honour to that pilot

A man who expects that others will fight for his freedom does not deserve it.

Re: US Air down in Hudson River
planes have a button for water landings that closes all ports on a plane and the plane becomes air tight. the crew is trained to just open the front door cuz if theyu open the back door the tail will sink quickly.Miar wrote:i read somewhere that he was in USAF.
