All I know is that I'm extremely appreciative of the fact that some on here weren't at the controls of the aircraft on that day.

It seems as though some at the front of this post aren't making the corellation between %N1 and thrust.........just how much thrust do you believe that thing puts out at 35% N1?????? It isn't 35% of the thrust- or have some forgotten that..............
 
If the autoflight system was disengaged and the nose lowered and the airplane was at its 210 target speed the autothrust system would have commanded idle thrust.

I am interested to see if the autothrust system was ever disengaged and the thrust lever moved forward.

The investigation also shows that the final re-start occurred at 500 ft and 200kias. Unless APU bleed was selected on this would not be successful.

Reading the record of the ECAM would be eye-opening. What messages did the crew see that lead them to believe they had a complete double flame-out, and what messages came up during the restart attempts?

What is N1? I don't get it?

If Sully tried to put it on 11 at EWR and crashed and possibly killed more people on the Turnpike etc... The same people would be saying.... "They should have put it in the river"

Everyone lived they made the right choice.

FWIW....Just on the news tonight.

That exact plane had an in-flight engine failure 2 days before this crash landing in the Hudson. NTSB said the engines have high-time and an AD was recently complied with pertaining to these engines on those Airbuses for in-flight engine failures.

Here come the lawsuits if this is true. Returning a plane back to service for engine trouble, then 2 days later it goes down from engine trouble. The media is looking into a cover-up about the whole bird issue.

Just what I heard, 5 minutes ago.
