I bet this guy gets that ALPA airman of the year award.

Listening to the NTSB brief....it sounds like at least one, if not both of the engines sheared off at some point. They are in the process of locating and recovering it (them).

Im sure they contain a "f-bomb" a "holy s***", a WTF?! or a combination of all three.

Haha yeah, i'm sure a double engine failure and a trying to waterski an A320 on the Hudson is worth all three!

Certainly the USAPA Airman of the Year Award.

at least two.

Wolf asked why they just don't put screens on the front of the engines...OMFG.

I'm no engineer but what would a screen look like that could completely stop a 20 pound bird going 200mph. Could any air actually go thru it?

The level of ignorance is staggering. Walking talking morons with absolutely no feel at all for the physical world in which they dwell.

BTW...nice job!

no kidding! hasnt that jack-hole ever played Halo 3? Energy Shield. . hello. That technology has been around for a few years .

They went down near 48th street. Sounds like the USAF pilot was trying to make it onto the Intrepid!

Every AF pilots wants to CQ!

 

[EnNuages]

So glad they're okay. Beautiful example setting the bar.

No, but you can probably see it from here.

Just wait until the bible thumpers chime in. Bet they will claim it was all in "god's hand"!!!

It was. But then again, everything else is too.

Here is the first video footage I have seen, it happens at 3:31 taken from a coast guard camera. After it happens the camera zooms in and you can see just how quickly they evacuated the airplane, amazingly quick.

Thanks for posting that JetSpeed219!

I know beggars can't afford to be choosy but it would have been nice to see the most important thing the flare! I'm sure there is another surveillance camera out there that caught it. :nuts:

Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. Tough choice for the ladies for sure.

Poor Sully can command some serious tail right now for this. Unfortunately, his little blue pills are probably in the Hudson still.

latest video

I don't think anyone's posted this yet, but here's a link to CNN's video released from a surveilance camera of the actual landing.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/01/17/usair.splash.video/index.html


The following videos shows part of the take off from LGA.

Also Cnn reported the pilots said they intentionally set it down near the ferry boat landings so that rescue could be expedited quickler.
