Hay Belly What does that mean, people never rescued people before? Or is it a comment on the increasing availability of accidents on video? Or do you have a thing for the Coast Guard.
Caminante Nocturno 0 casualty accident + Obama + Cardcaptor Sakura = General improvement of mood.
fatatty I would have thought Card Captor Sakura alone would be enough.
5 Stars for good news.
rustedmutt In the event of a water landing... hope that your pilot is a shred as good as this guy.
allcaps I like the bit where they pass that other airplane in the background. That plane is like, FUCK.
Cap'n Profan!ty what the hell kind of plane is that? it looks like a mini-concorde.
lustygoat isn't the Intrepid air museum near where the crash was? that might actually be a real Concorde.
MrBuddy Save yourself some time, skip forward to the 2 minute mark, ignore the car and watch the left edge of the screen in the middle.
Syd Midnight Let it buffer and watch it in fast-forward. It looks like the plane is cruising around in the river.
j lzrd / swift idiot At five minutes you can see the mighty Hudson flowing a big piece of previously-airborne titanium downstream.
jangbones I am debating sending this to my co-worker who was on this flight.
StanleyPain To get them to float, though, takes a massively skilled pilot to do one of the hardest types of landings ever (landing on water). This guy has balls,balls,balls,balls of steel.
lolcoolj I bet the out of towners took a bus home huh guys.
DMKA Well, he'll never have trouble with finding employment from here on out. No matter how bad the economy gets.
Zoot42 Hey this isn't it I don't think, are those the twin towers in the background?
Gojira1000 Boeing now officially loses my affection. That Airbus has phenomenal engineering.
Also the pilot is pretty fucking good - do you get a Sully with each plane?
kingarthur 5 stars for Sully Sullenberger. Because his name is awesome. Oh, and he's a good pilot too.
sosage I over heard a co-worker saying, "He crashed a plane in the river and they're calling him a hero!?!? PFFFFT I mean. Think about it. He crashed a plane and he gets called a hero. I wish I was called a hero every time I fucked up."
I think he forgot he was not trolling the internet...I kind of hope he crashes into a river...
libby1217 they did all the right things...this could've been very well a disaster but instead everyone survived...because they did all the right things...nice to hear something wonderful for a change...
