"Low miles. Minor flood damage. Interior like new."
I know it's been said a Million times already but, My hats off to Capt. Sullenberger and First officer Jeffrey Skiles for getting this A320 down with no loss of life. Simply amazing.
One unmentioned hero was the Flight Stewardess Doreen Welsh who despite a fairly serious leg injury continued her job of working to evacuate all passengers. Wonder if she got any awards?
...That moment when you realize that the Miracle On The Hudson was 10 years ago.
Im never stepping on a plane again
Is that the real plane? That crashed?
Ladies and gentlemen on today's menu is plucked, sausage geese, marinated in jet fuel , blackened to perfection. Bon appetit. Now fold up your trays and prepare to have a Hudson cocktail , our treat, free of charge of course.
While in the Air Force, we had a C-141 hit a flock of geese in flight. We hit seven of them, punching holes in the wings, horizontal stabilizer, and vertical stabilizer. It was repaired. Later the plane was selected to compete in a competition. There was seven geese painter under the pilots window, like aircraft kills in WW II.
craigslist be like "lightly used airplane, like new, still runs with a little elbow grease if ya know what i mean, $32,000 obo"
Why are we humans so utterly obsessed with disaster?
Glad the plane made it to a museum. Hats off to the Captain and crew.
Zach Boyd points out that the plane deserves some credit too - it was not designed to be a speed boat; surviving impact with the water without any structural breakup is simply remarkable. That too allowed everyone to live through the event.
I flew with Jeff Skiles who was the 1st Officer onboard that flight. He is one hell of a nice guy and fantastic pilot.
The copilot yelled "Duck!" but Sully said, "No, those are definitely geese."
Thank you sir for asking very simple questions and then getting out of the way to let this lady give detailed explanations.
I believe this is piece of history and it needs to be remembered. The best part of this story is that everyone survived
Heard there's actually a cocktail called the "Sully" from this: 2 shots of Greygoose and a splash of water. Truly an amazing job of the entire crew! Miracle for sure. Any other crew and odds become extremely slim that this would have had the same outcome.
A decade since this aviational historic event took place. God bless sully and all the passengers and crew.
Bet ya it's the first time you have ever heard the sentence; "the dents are caused by ferry boats hitting the plane.".
