Reconstruction of the “Miracle on the Hudson”
11/15/09On January 15, US Airways flight 1549 ditched in the Hudson River. It could have been a horrific accident. But amazingly, no lives were lost. It was all thanks to the quick reactions of Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger. He is a real hero.
The NTSB recently released the full account of the event. It has been reconstructed here with radio communications included. There’s a lot going on in the first video. Focus on the communications to and from the control towers. The second video focuses on Sullenberger and his co-pilot. This is incredible to watch.
