Just spoke to a buddy of mind---controller @EWR said speed at touchdown was 172 KIAS....great job again!

Turns out Capt. Sully is also a certified glider pilot instructor..... if only the thermals were a little stronger he might have soared that thing all the way down to CLT! (Sorry that I'm a little biased but thats where a lot of the talent comes from.)

Great job to the crew. Now pee in this cup and blow in this tube.

Sad but true.

 

[Rerouted]

Whatever this crew did, it sure sounds like they did it right. Not too many people get to save 150 + lives in one shot. Amazing job.

Wow...just Wow...

 

[Papps]

wow! excellent job to the crew.

 

[Scope out RJ's]

He was...former F4 driver back in the 70's.

But I'm sure a 2000 something new hire at HP acting as Captain could have done a better job...just ask em...

And it took all the way to 13 pages for some dickhead to write a stupid comment like this.

unreal....round of applause.....
had it been me i would still be pulling the sheep skin out from the ol' sphinkter from all the pucker factor.....

nice job......

Might be a bad precedent, or a touchy subject, but we ought to consider passing the hat for this crew? Let's all throw in some $$ and get them some new cars or something. USAir mgt won't. Airbus won't either. Passengers don't care.

I know a lot of pilots have done remarkable things before, but I'm not sure this will ever be outdone.

Tell you what: we know the statistics, but when things like this happen, really makes me think what I'd do . . .and makes me want to study more!
