Hudson Ditching Left Engine Running at 35%

[Papa Woody]

The media is looking into a cover-up about the whole bird issue.

I'm sure the Canadians are involved in the cover-up, since it was their alleged geese.

Most likely the left wing was 'slightly lower' when the a/c impacted the water. If You take notice of the pics of the a/c, the left outboard slats were completely torn free from the a/c. And, the first pics of the a/c in the water showed it turned to the left in the water, the nose facing NYC. The pics of the a/c, after removed from the water show the right slats still attached, and the right engine still attached but canted slightly downward, from the impact with the water. All of this info is probably consistent with the possibility that the left wing took the brunt of the impact with the water, and thus no real mystery....
PD

Not that I believe any of this cover up BS...
But the left wing slats were just fine until the FDNY tugs started hauling the aircraft to shore. I watched live video of the left wing getting beat to crap while hoisted up on the side of one of the tugs. I wouldn't be surprised if the left engine was knocked off by one of the rescue boats as well. There are many holes all over the front of that 'bus from being rammed by the rescue craft. (rescue and keeping it afloat was more important than scene preservation)

If it were some sort of non-bird caused flame out then "Sully" was in on it and had a pre-concieved excuse to transmit on the radio to ATC when both engines lost power? Yeah, right.

No wonder some of you maroons have been turned down by the majors you've interviewed at. You're lucky that the regionals you fly for really needed pilots at the time you were hired or you'd still be fish spotting...

I said NOTHING about maintaining altitude. I said it may have been enough residual thrust for sully to extend his glide in order to make it to TEB or LGA.

What would you know about it? You're not a pilot. But you are one of the more entertaining flamers here. You and instructor dude should date.

Now THAT is almost as funny as Poke-A-Hole Pilot's rantings!

The noise of the ascending flock is hilarious!

Hahaha!!!

HAHA. Real funny.

It would be nice if you guys actually knew what you were talking about though.

Talk about BIRD-brains! LOL

I seriously was wondering why he didn't go for runway 11 at Newark. If you look where he put it down, I think he easily could have made 11 in Newark.

As opposed to what YOU would have done, like wetting your pants?

Very interesting update. Makes you wonder if something may have been botched.

Your dad not wearing a rubber, now that is the definition of botched!

 

[fifty30retard]

That is very interesting.

Especially if he had engine thrust on one engine.

Heck, he could even pull a CAL, and land on the taxiway for 11 in EWR. It is slightly closer than the runway. LOL

Very interesting.

Yeah that would make a lot of sense. Enter a downwind and just make a normal traffic pattern or did you mean 29?

Yeah, 29 would probably be better.

I was just seeing if people here were paying attention. LOL

You heard wrong. The same plane did experience a compressor stall which is in no way the same thing as an engine failure. A compressor stall is like you farting. Do you take your a** out of service every time you fart?

I get concerned if mine stops. :laugh:

Hahaha, you idiot!!! You're quite amusing, in a very pathetic, lame way.
