From a veteran who had a small crimson ribbon on the left hand side of his group. (as I looked at it) I`ll trust he knew what he was talking about.
for any one that is interested in aviation this story is one of the most incredible landings any one has ever pulled off. he could have crashed in the middle of he city multiplying casualties in to hundreds if not thousands. remarkable pilot and a true hero.
You probably right, but landing on the river is the only choice which won't cause way more casualties on populated land, and that is still a hard choice.
I think the seventeen attempts was with the added 30 seconds. They had to attempt it seventeen times before one of them managed to land safely somewhere.

I was anchored a few near the Battery at the time. Shocked at hearing the radio chatter. Amazed no one was lost. Right place and right time, mixed in with a lot of smarts.
One thing that seems to stand out to me is the coordination of the stewards in the cabin. The moment they heard brace, they went into action and started the chant of "Brace, Brace, Brace, Head down, Stay down!" And kept it up until moment of impact. Then immediately went into evacuation mode. This was in fact a perfectly coordinated effort that saved lives. Captain Sully said it best. "We all did our jobs".
I actually combed through all the comments to find this. I teared up instantly upon hearing the flight crew faintly audible in the background chanting exactly this. They knew shit was about to go sideways and their survival percentage just plummeted but they were still ready to go with exactly what needed to be done. Amazing stuff, honestly. I've seen Army guys with less balls than this.
Technically that shouldn't have been audible should it? The flight deck is supposed to have those doors on them that are super thick and can resist a grenade so how would sound get through?

The photo at the end, where they're standing on the wings, gives a feeling like it's over. Now they are safe. They only feel that way because the crew is keeping them calm. The air temp that day was 20* f. The water, 38* f. It wasn't shown in the movie, but NY and NJ ferry boats went and plucked them ,very quickly, off of the plane. A short time later, it sunk. The ferry boats were also big time heroes here. I'm watching this, holed up in our NJ house because of C19. A happy ending to a NY story. The ferrys, and the crew of that plane will always say that they just did their job. True heroes.

I can’t tell you the arguments I had with my coworkers when this movie came out and here I was, the only person who actually did his research.
@@thedesertrat_9514 That's the problem with society, they look at these documovies and think that everything in them is actually how it happened. They forget that Hollywood likes to exaggerate or even change up events in order to create more drama in order for a movie to last longer. That's fine when it comes to a *fictional* setting with *fictional* characters. However, if the movie is based off a REAL event, then don't make shit up and falsify the events. The actual, REAL, documentary on what transpired after this event showed how the NTSB really acted. They had nothing but phrase for the captain, his co-pilot and the crew and the event that brought his plane down is now used in training simulators as an example of what can happen with a bird strike.
Suisfonia It’s scary too because I’d imagine there are people out there who want to be pilots that actually think they can face prosecution from the NTSB. Like bro, they don’t even have that authority nor do they ever recommend imposing criminal sanctions against pilots, maintenance crews and ATC’s. They have criticized countries in the past like Brazil and Japan for doing that.
Considering how many movies Hanks has done that involve transportation disasters, the lesson to be learned here is that if Tom Hanks gets on a flight I'm on, I'm getting off.
After the captain makes the call to brace for impact, you can hear the flight attendants in the cabin reciting 'Brace, brace, brace! Heads down! Stay down!'. It's very quiet and subtle. Brilliantly adds to the understanding of the tension the flight crew must feel. They are doing what they are supposed to which is throwing everything they can at the problem which is very mechanical, but this subtle audio is a constant subliminal reminder of the lives in the back. A brilliant nuance in the scene.
I agree, I'm a big animal lover. I don't even wanna kill mosquitos. But if it was human vs bird, I'd have to go for my own species. It's nature. Birds get killed by other animals everyday. And killed by airplanes built by humans, by accident. So I think it's sad for the birds, but hey, they should watch out too...
Some of you might need to brace yourselves: "in an effort to prevent similar accidents, officials captured and gassed 1,235 Canada geese at 17 locations across New York City in mid-2009 and coated 1,739 goose eggs with oil to smother the developing goslings.[65]" RIP many gooses :(
You know what gives me tears is how the New Yorkers and New Jerseyites came together in minutes and saved everyone. Sully deserves all the kudos he got, but the ferry boat crews, passengers, scuba cops, etc. were just awesome. Great job guys and gals.
But a knife fight...with the occasional baseball bat, was started on the shore after NYC rescuers started bragging over who saved the most lives. All involved were sent to anger management but were expelled for excessive anger.
Never ceases to amaze me how people from that s h i t t y city are always so impressed with themselves for not being total c u n t s to each other on very rare occasions.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's blazing the herb a bit - I hear the little shake in his voice. Playing co-pilot to Tom Hanks is a safe bet to land and not crash.
The scene in this film that sticks with me is Sully wading knee deep through the flooding aircraft to make absolutely sure everyone was off the aircraft. He trusted that his flight crew had seen to the passengers, but as the Captain he had to make sure. It would go against every fiber of human survival instinct to walk up and down the aisle calmly as the river consumed the aircraft, but that is exactly what he did.
One of my favorite parts of the real event was sully apologizing to his local library be the book he had checked out was left on the plane. They waved the late fee.
I know it is a joke and a pretty funny one btw, but the fact is that there are a entiende department in aircraft manufacturers (structure and engines) dedicated to birds impact and a scientific field working every single day in order to develop new materials to absorb better those impacts. Pretty interesting job, of course.
Yeah well, it is a movie. In reality they obviously did their investigations and agreed that was the only option, albeit risky. According to Sully they were very understanding of the situation, didn't try to "trap" him or anything.
The NTSB determined that it WAS possible to land at Tetorboro even with both engines INOP. However, under the extreme emotional stress of knowing that BOTH engines had failed at sub-5000 feet of altitude in the middle of one of the most densely populated areas in the world, trying to quickly calculate that they could (barely) make it to Tetorboro is unfeasible for a pair of humans in that situation. Making the immediate decision to go to Teterboro after immediately determining that both engines were irrevocably lost AND having about 90 secs to make those decisions is completely unfeasible. As such, they not only agreed that Sully's quick thinking was the best course of action at the time and saved every soul on board, but commended him and the rest of the crew for it and applauded them.
In all honesty though, could warmer weather have played a detrimental factor upon the water landing if it were to happen in July instead of January? I know warmer air moves differently than cooler air, could this have impacted the result potentially?
K1productions warmer air is less dense so possible slight reduction of lift, and the combustion of the engine is reduced with warmer air so possible roll back sooner and slightly reduced glide performance
@@Jayjaycurry Isn't there a bit more turbulence too? Either way, January was probably the best possible time for this to happen (aside from the potential hypothermia of course)
I watch this so often, and it never gets old, never fails to move me. The devotion to duty, to the souls on board, the intensity of their focus, and their unrelenting attempts to solve the crisis. The sheer skill. I remember hearing Deb Lee Furness (Mrs Hugh Jackman) talk of seeing it from the window of their condo near the Hudson, and how terrified everyone was of so many souls in the freezing water. And here it is, smoother than some Sydney Ferry dockings. And how everyone has a crack at NYC, and says no one there cares, but within six minutes, every sea going vessel was out there to help. Truly remarkable. ❤️
listening to the lady giving the report on the recovered engine... the description was honestly terrifying. you dont need a qualification in aerospace engineering to recognise the gravity of her words.
All it takes is a single blade sheared off to wreck an engine. It doesn’t even need to knock anything off on the way through, the imbalance at those kind of RPMs can shake it apart.
I’m a former Eastern Airlines Flight Attendant and as incredible and miraculous that this story is by no means am I minimizing what a miracle this truly was. Rather my intention here is to comment on behalf of so many hundreds of pilots that I flew with during my 20 year career. I was fortunate enough to never have an emergency as serious as this one but did encounter a few. But never never never did I ever lose confidence in the brilliant pilots that that I had the privilege of flying with. December 31, 2019, thank you to all those brilliant pilots we don’t give them the credit they deserve. Many of them are military trained. Bravo bravo bravo....ps One piece of advice for those of you traveling, please take a minute and listen to those emergency announcements made prior to the flight, you never know when you may need that information.
My dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam. He had been flying since he was 16 but his eyesight wouldn't let him fly for the military. When he got out he was hired by TWA and retired as a Captain in 2001. I firmly believe there are many "Sullys" sitting in cockpits. An all-engines out water landing ...you only get one shot. Keep the nose up and the wings as level as possible (and pray). I was always taught to have respect for the pilots and flight attendants. We put our lives in their hands. We depend on their professionalism and the mechanical soundness of the aircraft to get us from point A to point B safely.
I think this movie illustrates one very critical aspect of leadership. At some point you have to make a decision based on everything that you know and everything that’s available and stick with it and don’t second-guess yourself. It became clear that he realized he didn’t have the thrust to make it to any other runway and was losing altitude fast. Bravo to both of you Captain Sullenberger and Skiles!
The way they set up this scene, so that even the audience feels the break in tension when Skiles makes his July comment is masterful. Incredible actors and as always Eastwood is a better director than he ever was an actor lol (i know, i know bring on the hate, i still love all his movies lol)
I salute Captain Sully for being not just a great pilot but also a true leader. Qualities like modesty and compassion are hard to find nowadays. He acknowledged everybody's efforts even though he knew it was his day and it would have been very easy for him to usurp the fame.
I think everyone has had a moment like this where everyone tells you you dont know how to do your job and no one can understand the pressure you are under. At that point the only thing that can give you strength is believing you did your job no matter what anyone else may think. This scene has helped me pull myself up many times.
Unfortunately, it's made up. Sully said the thing he didn't like about the movie was how it portrayed the investigators. In reality, they didn't act like that at all.
@@shadowscall7758 I mean, I guess it's a valid point. Maybe there's another film with a similar theme but I havent seen it. Corporate scapegoating isn't exactly a rare occurrence.
Didn't see the film but wow the tension of those last scenes was huge. Capt and Co capt did a great job in saving the lives of themselves and those on board. Film can do us a great service, when it highlights the truth and facts.
@@9999AWC It is not easy to stretch 208 seconds into an hour and a half. Also, that little laughter/lighter mood at the end lifts the NTSB a lot. Great movie!
I can't even comprehend being seated at a higher elevation than someone like the Captain after hearing such humility. Regardless of what the movie got right or wrong, these two pilots and their crew are heroes. I remember watching them pulling people from the water onto boats on the TV, but the sheer enormity of what I was seeing didn't occur to me until I watched this movie.
As one of the people that has to clean up aircraft crash site this is awesome that no one died and the aircraft was mostly intact. Sully and company were true heros. New york and New jersey first responders as well as all the other rescuers boat crews etc true American heros as well.
For such a time as this, the right people, in the right place, with the right training, the right energy, the right skill set, and frankly an anointing. Thank God for these two. 🙏
Overwhelmingly this film is about humanity. The humanity of people’s survival instincts; the humanity of the pilot’s skills taking control of the plane to land it; the humanity of all the flights crew in the most unimaginable of times, carrying out their duty; the humanity of the ferry boat workers and police, and everyone who dropped everything to help; and the humanity of all the people in the meeting when they heard the flight recording. Because let’s not forget, until they recovered the engines from the bottom of the river, the panel believed the computer results were infallible and that the plane had enough power to land on a runway. It’s a beautiful film and one I never tire of.
SpikeFlea he couldn't help. It literally was in the middle of Hudson river. Plus, dispatches of NYD was sent to help with the rescue. Let me guess, you like to criticize people for something you can't even do yourself. Have a nice day and fuck off well you!
Whatever did happen to the plane? Were tugboats able to push it to shore or at least shallow water? Did it sink? Either way, was it recovered or is it still on the bottom of the Hudson?
Sorry for off-topic: Old, but true story about Gerd Müller, the best forwarder ever, told by Hermann Gerland. Gerd Müller wants to pay the bill for himself and his friend Hermann in the restaurant. Restaurant owner repeated: "Gerd Müller can't pay here, it's not possible. Everything is fine, and have a good evening.". Next visit alone without Gerd, Hermann had to pay by himself. :) Gerd, God bless you. And so, Sully and Jeff also don't have to pay anywhere. :)
One of my favorite interviews regarding this incident was with the 20 year old female ferry boat captain who stated she had only been a captain for 6 months and she (sarcastically speaking) said she'd never been trained on how to dock with a commercial airliner moving down river in a strong current. That gal was a BOSS!
Being married to an ex Air Force pilot, current delta captain at the time of this occurrence I was so proud of Sully and cry every time I watch this and could see my husband doing the exact same thing! He was a great pilot!! Too bad he sucked as a husband and we divorced, but gotta give kudos where they are due!!
I really appreciate the chance to see these scenes, having never yet seen this film (I miss very many movies in recent years). Thank you! Wonderful scene, moving story. I cried.
The enormity of this event and how everyone came together saving all lives on board is incredible. This is the best of who we can be together - a miracle indeed
On days like those, in the worst of times, the Spirit of NY and America really comes through. If you haven't watched the videos, everyone that day was spectacular. I noticed the Ferry Captains, the skill and timing they used to approach the plane, onboard the passengers, is nothing short of miraculous.
No respect for him because you don’t agree with him politically. That’s societies problems these days summed up, we can’t seperate the person from politics.
Miracle on the Hudson and rightfully so. He was the right guy at the right time no doubt. Instinctively he did the classic, aviate, navigate, communicate. At the time there was no formal training for a low altitude dual engine failure but now it’s practiced. A very very rare scenario and this guys training and understanding of the situation at whole allowed him to make the correct sequence of choices in seconds that saved everyone.
When i was a kid we used to fly trans-atlantic every summer, usually to Europe then Israel. In the early days it was a TWA 707 but pretty quick it became 747's accross the board. I realize the 777 and 787 are much more efficient, but stories like this quickly remind me that when all you see 30k feet below is ocean water for 1,000 miles in each direction, having 4 engines just feels much more warm & fuzzy than only two.
My pastor Jerry, just before succumbing to cancer, spoke about this incident with so much pride for the job these pilots did. It was a joy to hear him tell this story, he loved New York , and traveled there often.
I remember as a country we were still reeling from 9-11 and we needed a hero, someone to bring our faith in people, in God ( whatever your God is) we , especially all those on the flight, needed a hero. We were blessed with Sully and the entire flight crew. Still brings tears to my eyes....

@@thedesertrat_9514 That's the problem with society, they look at these documovies and think that everything in them is actually how it happened. They forget that Hollywood likes to exaggerate or even change up events in order to create more drama in order for a movie to last longer.
That's fine when it comes to a *fictional* setting with *fictional* characters. However, if the movie is based off a REAL event, then don't make shit up and falsify the events.
The actual, REAL, documentary on what transpired after this event showed how the NTSB really acted. They had nothing but phrase for the captain, his co-pilot and the crew and the event that brought his plane down is now used in training simulators as an example of what can happen with a bird strike.
Suisfonia It’s scary too because I’d imagine there are people out there who want to be pilots that actually think they can face prosecution from the NTSB. Like bro, they don’t even have that authority nor do they ever recommend imposing criminal sanctions against pilots, maintenance crews and ATC’s. They have criticized countries in the past like Brazil and Japan for doing that.
they did their job
Sealdrop you bet their ass
And they did it perfectly.
Very well
They didnt though did they- They did not land at the destination airport. AMAZING JOB THOUGH. Clearly im kidding.
They did their job
Considering how many movies Hanks has done that involve transportation disasters, the lesson to be learned here is that if Tom Hanks gets on a flight I'm on, I'm getting off.
Yes, me too. Remember "Castaway", "Apollo 13", "Captain Phillips".
I dont know, considering how it turned out, wouldnt you WANT him on board?
After the captain makes the call to brace for impact, you can hear the flight attendants in the cabin reciting 'Brace, brace, brace! Heads down! Stay down!'. It's very quiet and subtle. Brilliantly adds to the understanding of the tension the flight crew must feel. They are doing what they are supposed to which is throwing everything they can at the problem which is very mechanical, but this subtle audio is a constant subliminal reminder of the lives in the back. A brilliant nuance in the scene.
There's a great interview with Sully, where he describes choosing the words "brace for impact" very carefully even with everything that was going on.
That brace yelling was probably picked up by the CVR and hence added in the scene as well.
Nobody talks about the bird lives that were lost during this tragedy. RIP birds
Priorities...
I agree, I'm a big animal lover. I don't even wanna kill mosquitos. But if it was human vs bird, I'd have to go for my own species. It's nature. Birds get killed by other animals everyday. And killed by airplanes built by humans, by accident. So I think it's sad for the birds, but hey, they should watch out too...

I love the line, “it wasn’t just me, it was the the flight crew, and all the passengers, everybody had a part to play.”
You know what gives me tears is how the New Yorkers and New Jerseyites came together in minutes and saved everyone. Sully deserves all the kudos he got, but the ferry boat crews, passengers, scuba cops, etc. were just awesome. Great job guys and gals.
But a knife fight...with the occasional baseball bat, was started on the shore after NYC rescuers started bragging over who saved the most lives. All involved were sent to anger management but were expelled for excessive anger.
Never ceases to amaze me how people from that s h i t t y city are always so impressed with themselves for not being total c u n t s to each other on very rare occasions.

Another solid Aaron Eckhart supporting performance , he brought a quiet dignified humour to the role
First Officer Stiles makes his own luck.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's blazing the herb a bit - I hear the little shake in his voice. Playing co-pilot to Tom Hanks is a safe bet to land and not crash.
Thank You For Smoking... Battle Los Angeles... the list goes on...
All I saw was his stache.🤣😁
Two Face , in Batman. He was epic
The scene in this film that sticks with me is Sully wading knee deep through the flooding aircraft to make absolutely sure everyone was off the aircraft. He trusted that his flight crew had seen to the passengers, but as the Captain he had to make sure. It would go against every fiber of human survival instinct to walk up and down the aisle calmly as the river consumed the aircraft, but that is exactly what he did.
Nicely put.
Well, it is what we are lead to believe he did.

2:45 "Bird Experts" -- 'The birds are dead!'
I know it is a joke and a pretty funny one btw, but the fact is that there are a entiende department in aircraft manufacturers (structure and engines) dedicated to birds impact and a scientific field working every single day in order to develop new materials to absorb better those impacts. Pretty interesting job, of course.
I heard the NTSB wasnt this dramatic about the whole process and this was done for movie drama.
Yeah well, it is a movie. In reality they obviously did their investigations and agreed that was the only option, albeit risky. According to Sully they were very understanding of the situation, didn't try to "trap" him or anything.
Well no shot sherlock!!!! Fucking idiot!!!!!!!!
The NTSB determined that it WAS possible to land at Tetorboro even with both engines INOP. However, under the extreme emotional stress of knowing that BOTH engines had failed at sub-5000 feet of altitude in the middle of one of the most densely populated areas in the world, trying to quickly calculate that they could (barely) make it to Tetorboro is unfeasible for a pair of humans in that situation. Making the immediate decision to go to Teterboro after immediately determining that both engines were irrevocably lost AND having about 90 secs to make those decisions is completely unfeasible.
As such, they not only agreed that Sully's quick thinking was the best course of action at the time and saved every soul on board, but commended him and the rest of the crew for it and applauded them.

I love the friendship between Hanks and Eckhart, they're such a great team.
Before: Can we get serious here
Later:
Q: Anything you would have done differently if you would have to do it again.
A: I would have done it in July
In all honesty though, could warmer weather have played a detrimental factor upon the water landing if it were to happen in July instead of January? I know warmer air moves differently than cooler air, could this have impacted the result potentially?
@@k1productions87 Not sure, but I'm guessing there would be a lower chance of Canadian Geese hitting the plane, due to them not being in the area.
K1productions warmer air is less dense so possible slight reduction of lift, and the combustion of the engine is reduced with warmer air so possible roll back sooner and slightly reduced glide performance
@@Jayjaycurry Isn't there a bit more turbulence too? Either way, January was probably the best possible time for this to happen (aside from the potential hypothermia of course)
@@k1productions87 Not to mention how much busier would the Hudson river be in the middle of the summer?
I watch this so often, and it never gets old, never fails to move me. The devotion to duty, to the souls on board, the intensity of their focus, and their unrelenting attempts to solve the crisis. The sheer skill. I remember hearing Deb Lee Furness (Mrs Hugh Jackman) talk of seeing it from the window of their condo near the Hudson, and how terrified everyone was of so many souls in the freezing water. And here it is, smoother than some Sydney Ferry dockings. And how everyone has a crack at NYC, and says no one there cares, but within six minutes, every sea going vessel was out there to help. Truly remarkable. ❤️
I remember this happening. These 2 guys saved a lot of lives that day, all the souls on board and potentially hundreds on the ground. What a hero.
listening to the lady giving the report on the recovered engine... the description was honestly terrifying. you dont need a qualification in aerospace engineering to recognise the gravity of her words.
All it takes is a single blade sheared off to wreck an engine. It doesn’t even need to knock anything off on the way through, the imbalance at those kind of RPMs can shake it apart.
Trust me it's even more terrifying to look at in real life.
I’m a former Eastern Airlines Flight Attendant and as incredible and miraculous that this story is by no means am I minimizing what a miracle this truly was. Rather my intention here is to comment on behalf of so many hundreds of pilots that I flew with during my 20 year career. I was fortunate enough to never have an emergency as serious as this one but did encounter a few. But never never never did I ever lose confidence in the brilliant pilots that that I had the privilege of flying with. December 31, 2019, thank you to all those brilliant pilots we don’t give them the credit they deserve. Many of them are military trained. Bravo bravo bravo....ps One piece of advice for those of you traveling, please take a minute and listen to those emergency announcements made prior to the flight, you never know when you may need that information.
That is a wonderful and heartfelt sentiment. In the context of this film it is especially poignant and understandable.
My dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam. He had been flying since he was 16 but his eyesight wouldn't let him fly for the military. When he got out he was hired by TWA and retired as a Captain in 2001. I firmly believe there are many "Sullys" sitting in cockpits. An all-engines out water landing ...you only get one shot. Keep the nose up and the wings as level as possible (and pray). I was always taught to have respect for the pilots and flight attendants. We put our lives in their hands. We depend on their professionalism and the mechanical soundness of the aircraft to get us from point A to point B safely.
It wasn’t me it was all of us. WE did it. That’s a leader.
Cpt. Sully : *pulls off the impossible and saves 150 people
Roy Keane: " yea, but that's his job ".
@Storm November Can jet fuel melt steel birds?
I think this movie illustrates one very critical aspect of leadership. At some point you have to make a decision based on everything that you know and everything that’s available and stick with it and don’t second-guess yourself.
It became clear that he realized he didn’t have the thrust to make it to any other runway and was losing altitude fast.
Bravo to both of you Captain Sullenberger and Skiles!
The way they set up this scene, so that even the audience feels the break in tension when Skiles makes his July comment is masterful. Incredible actors and as always Eastwood is a better director than he ever was an actor lol (i know, i know bring on the hate, i still love all his movies lol)
The Fed Ex plane goes down and now this. Hanks is a jinx.
then there was the space shuttle, and let's not forget that ship that was taken by pirates... never travel with Hanks!
If i ever saw him on my plane i would GTFO
Also if you see him at the airport he probably is living there because he got denied entry
@@maxdecphoenix Do you mean Apollo 13? Not a space shuttle. Your point is still valid, though.
@@pierrenavaille4748 no it is a space shuttle, it's just not 'the' space shuttle like i somehow wrote. you're point is almost valid.
I love how he compliments his first mate.
I salute Captain Sully for being not just a great pilot but also a true leader. Qualities like modesty and compassion are hard to find nowadays. He acknowledged everybody's efforts even though he knew it was his day and it would have been very easy for him to usurp the fame.
"We did our job." Damn right you did Sully. Damn right you did.💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾
Bravo Sully, Skiles, the crew and responders. And Bravo Mr Eastwood for capturing such an heroic achievement.
I think everyone has had a moment like this where everyone tells you you dont know how to do your job and no one can understand the pressure you are under. At that point the only thing that can give you strength is believing you did your job no matter what anyone else may think. This scene has helped me pull myself up many times.
Unfortunately, it's made up. Sully said the thing he didn't like about the movie was how it portrayed the investigators. In reality, they didn't act like that at all.
@@shadowscall7758 I mean, I guess it's a valid point. Maybe there's another film with a similar theme but I havent seen it. Corporate scapegoating isn't exactly a rare occurrence.
Sometimes, nothing can beat intuition
Today, there s another hero like mr Sully in Russia. The pilot did save 233 passengers after the plane lost both engines.
Another Miracle

“I’m just so damn proud” - *sully* bro I’m really proud of you every time that I see the movie sully I cry because I just loved 😭😫❤️❤️
Such a positive movie that shows that not all inspiring stories have to be tragedies.
ask the birds whether it was a tragedy ...
The real life landing was smoother than the movie's.
I watched this movie about 5 months ago. I can confidently say it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Didn't see the film but wow the tension of those last scenes was huge. Capt and Co capt did a great job in saving the lives of themselves and those on board. Film can do us a great service, when it highlights the truth and facts.
you have to watch the whole Film it's a great Movie
But it did more of a disservice. It antagonizes the NTSB when in reality they are good folks who supported the actions of the crew.
@@9999AWC It is not easy to stretch 208 seconds into an hour and a half. Also, that little laughter/lighter mood at the end lifts the NTSB a lot.
Great movie!
There's so much to love about this scene, but the part in the hallway is just fantastic.
I'm always amazed that nobody lost their life in that incident. Fantastic job.
I can't even comprehend being seated at a higher elevation than someone like the Captain after hearing such humility.
Regardless of what the movie got right or wrong, these two pilots and their crew are heroes. I remember watching them pulling people from the water onto boats on the TV, but the sheer enormity of what I was seeing didn't occur to me until I watched this movie.
I circle back to this on occasion to be reminded there is still decency and humility in this world. Unwilling heroes...total professionals. Well done.
Zero casualties. Zero. None.
All because Sully trusted his instincts.
... except for the birds.
As one of the people that has to clean up aircraft crash site this is awesome that no one died and the aircraft was mostly intact. Sully and company were true heros. New york and New jersey first responders as well as all the other rescuers boat crews etc true American heros as well.
Still gives me goosebumps watching this part of the movie, tom hanks and aaron eckhart are both god tier actors.
For such a time as this, the right people, in the right place, with the right training, the right energy, the right skill set, and frankly an anointing.
Thank God for these two. 🙏
"Harvey Dent, can we trust him?"
Knew. It. That's two face
Overwhelmingly this film is about humanity. The humanity of people’s survival instincts; the humanity of the pilot’s skills taking control of the plane to land it; the humanity of all the flights crew in the most unimaginable of times, carrying out their duty; the humanity of the ferry boat workers and police, and everyone who dropped everything to help; and the humanity of all the people in the meeting when they heard the flight recording. Because let’s not forget, until they recovered the engines from the bottom of the river, the panel believed the computer results were infallible and that the plane had enough power to land on a runway.
It’s a beautiful film and one I never tire of.
Love how Sully gives everyone credit
I remember standing on Chelsea piers watching that plane float down the river.
Why didn't you help? I bet you had your camera out, didn't you?
@SpikeFlea i hope this is sarcasm because this is the stupidest thing I've read all day.
SpikeFlea he couldn't help. It literally was in the middle of Hudson river. Plus, dispatches of NYD was sent to help with the rescue. Let me guess, you like to criticize people for something you can't even do yourself. Have a nice day and fuck off well you!
bigbullbk, wow that must have been scary for a while considering you didn't know it wasn't another terrorist attack at first
Whatever did happen to the plane? Were tugboats able to push it to shore or at least shallow water? Did it sink? Either way, was it recovered or is it still on the bottom of the Hudson?
This is the exact moment Skylar became an FAA agent.

Restaurant owner repeated: "Gerd Müller can't pay here, it's not possible. Everything is fine, and have a good evening.".
Next visit alone without Gerd, Hermann had to pay by himself. :)
Gerd, God bless you.
And so, Sully and Jeff also don't have to pay anywhere. :)
One of my favorite interviews regarding this incident was with the 20 year old female ferry boat captain who stated she had only been a captain for 6 months and she (sarcastically speaking) said she'd never been trained on how to dock with a commercial airliner moving down river in a strong current. That gal was a BOSS!
I love the SNL skit he played as Sully coming back to fly and realized he had to fly as co-pilot. Then kept reminding everyone who he was.

On days like those, in the worst of times, the Spirit of NY and America really comes through. If you haven't watched the videos, everyone that day was spectacular.

Such wonderful acting. It’s a great true story, and deserved actors of such high quality. Tom, as usual, was superb.
Miracle on the Hudson and rightfully so. He was the right guy at the right time no doubt. Instinctively he did the classic, aviate, navigate, communicate. At the time there was no formal training for a low altitude dual engine failure but now it’s practiced. A very very rare scenario and this guys training and understanding of the situation at whole allowed him to make the correct sequence of choices in seconds that saved everyone.
Incredible. Thank your pilots! They do such an amazing job each and everyday.
We must thank Skyler became comprehensive at the end for captain Sully.
When i was a kid we used to fly trans-atlantic every summer, usually to Europe then Israel. In the early days it was a TWA 707 but pretty quick it became 747's accross the board. I realize the 777 and 787 are much more efficient, but stories like this quickly remind me that when all you see 30k feet below is ocean water for 1,000 miles in each direction, having 4 engines just feels much more warm & fuzzy than only two.
My pastor Jerry, just before succumbing to cancer, spoke about this incident with so much pride for the job these pilots did. It was a joy to hear him tell this story, he loved New York , and traveled there often.
These pilots are heroes, thank you for what you did.
Those two pilots executed a perfect landing on water when all else failed them. These men kept their cool and did an amazing landing.
I remember as a country we were still reeling from 9-11 and we needed a hero, someone to bring our faith in people, in God ( whatever your God is) we , especially all those on the flight, needed a hero. We were blessed with Sully and the entire flight crew. Still brings tears to my eyes....
