Lesson from the pilot Captain Chesley Sullenberger !!
How did he land a plane on the Hudson River?
On 15th January 2009, Captain Chesley Sullenberger landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River in New York city after both engines of the plane were struck by birds. Seven years later, they made a film about it, with none other than Tom Hanks in the lead role.
The event that became known, in US TV news parlance, as “The Miracle on the Hudson”, took place on 15th January 2009. The whole ordeal, from take-off to landing, was over in six minutes.
Sully was flying a US Airways plane bound for Seattle Washington, which had taken off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City at 3.24pm. Shortly after take-off, the plane struck a flock of Canada geese northeast of the George Washington Bridge, and lost power in both engines. Passengers reportedly heard loud bangs and saw flames emerging from the aircraft, which understandably sent them into a panic.
The pilot’s windshield was greatly obscured by the bodies of the dead birds. Nevertheless, Sully took control while his co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles (played in the film by Aaron Eckhart) unsuccessfully attempted to restart the engines.
After discussing potential emergency landing options with Air Traffic Control, Sully realized that the plane would be unable to make it to any of them, and said “we can’t do it… we’re gonna be in the Hudson”.
On its way into the water, the plane passed less than 900 feet above the George Washington Bridge. Sullenberger told his crew and passengers to “brace for impact”, and at 3.31pm, landed in the middle of the Hudson. Flight attendants said it was a “hard landing”. However, incredibly, all 155 people aboard the plane survived, though there were five serious injuries, and many of them were treated for hypothermia.
many months later, this incident investigated by the experts. simulation team attempts to reach the destination within 35 seconds of decision making. but they failed. sully was honored, for his quick decision and saving the lives.
his comeliness and the calculative mind, landed the flight on the river with 0% deaths. Get experience by other experience. it not just watching and going... watching and learning that matters.
