"This is your Captain speaking...Brace for impact". Scariest words to hear as a passenger, then waiting what seems like forever for your possible demise. Sully is a hero.
@@dielaughing73 He doesn't need to say "niceties". Captains would make an announcement to the passengers if time permitted, but in this case, since it was an unplanned emergency ditching, all he could give was the emergency callout "Brace for impact" which should be given 3 minutes before impact
99% of the time, you have your typical normal day, nothing wrong. It's that 1%. You need to be prepared for, and the very first thing that any kind of professional, and ER know to do is, stay calm. Staying calm is the most important thing you can ever do in emergencies.
@@bfmv-thepoison1347 actually the atc lost contact after they crossed the gw bridge they had to connect with a private chopper(private tour operator) and other aircrafts in the area to understand where the flight was. Also when sully said we are gng to end up in Hudson.. the atc did not completely understand or get a clear picture of what was happening. The nearest aircraft actually transmitted the same message again to atc. This is what I remember from nat geo aircrash investigation documentary
I mean,the guy was like "i have an emergency and people could do,i need this and that" "Sure thing,i get everything clear for you,what do you need" so yeah, no point trying to be a smartass in that kind of job
@@marxel4444 most ATC chatter I've heard is really impressive. There's a Chanel called 74gear that covers a ton of pilot transmissions, crashes, mishaps, etc. One thing that continuously impresses me is the professionalism and ability to stay calm under pressure from the ATCs. They get exactly what the pilot needs and never seem to panic. And for the most part even when pilots are sometimes being difficult to work with They continue to direct traffic and stay professional the entire time. Cool people to say the least.
No, I think Zick Zack said it right. That was pretty chilling. A voice of authority should be reassuring, yet the knowledge that it could be their own last words and they're repeating for the sole purpose of maximizing the chances of survival is chilling. It's cold, calculated, deliberate, coming from a person just as terrified of the unknown about to hit them all.
When facing the inevitable, staying with drill and procedure is better than panicking. If you are in brace position and annoyed with the flight attendant's repetition, at least you are in brace position and focussing on the flight attendants -- instead of screaming, trying to get up or otherwise reducing the chances of survival both of yourself and the people around you.
Bradley Akulov You think the flight attendants aren’t human? Of course they are, and they’re going to sound concerned too. But they do their best to focus on the job at hand, and that is the safety of the passengers. This is coming from a guy who works for an airline and has a father and younger sister who work as F/As. They have to go through rigorous initial training, and then do recurrent training every single year on evacuation and safety procedures before they can continue in their roles, no matter how old you are or how long you’ve been doing it.
I know Aaron Eckhart has a supporting role, but his reaction upon opening his eyes after reliving what he went through....really expresses the emotion and trauma. Well done.
His face when TCAS counts down to Twenty feet ( 2:47) is one of the greatest expressions of genuine fear in any media I have ever seen. He looks like he's coming to terms with death in that moment
If Sully hadn't made the decison to land in the Hudson, everyone on that plane and a lot of people on the ground would have gotten killed. He made the right call.
The most cruicual thing of that landing was the positioning of the whole plane. The turbines are mounted underneath the wings , which is seriously troublesome for such a landing. They did everything right
@@44lucas That’s because the writers got special permission to listen to the actual CVR. They wanted this movie to be as accurate to the actual event as possible.
The question is if there were better landings, the whole plot of this movie. Because if there were many better opportunities, it calls into question the competence of the pilot.
Yeah, and I believe this was the first aircraft that ditched to have all passengers survive. There was a 737 that tried to ditch in a river once and nearly had everyone onboard survive. *One* person on that plane died.
Bro was on! Didn't trip. But the folks was freakin', man. So Blood hammered out and jammed jet ship. Tightened that bad sucker inside the Hudson like a mother. Shit.
@@leeeastwood6368 The pilot was really on his game. He didn't freak out but the passengers were freaking out(scared). So the pilot stayed cool and flew the plane. He incredibly flew that bad sucker(plane) into the Hudson River like a professional. Shit. There ya go.
They did make the point in the movie that this was not something they had ever trained for. You can put any situation in the simulator, but who ever thought of a bird strike knocking out both engines just after take off?
Sully's script being from the cockpit recording, notice how Sully completely ignored traffic controllers once he knew they would be of no use to him. Got to focus on the task at hand and can't afford any distractions.
Muggles87 the dialogs here follow almost completelly the CVR transcript.. they added a couple bits (like the "wich engines did you lose - both.. both engines, that exchange didnt happent" and they omitted the part where Sully said yes to "do you want to go to Teterboro?" ... also the "life is easy in the air" was added... tought the "what a beautifull view of the hudson today" was real and its on the CVR
you fly the aircraft first.. no matter what.. then when you are not falling off the sky or fighting the controls then you worry about coms.. The crew of AF447 didnt radioed for help in their terrific fall all the way to the ocean because they were busy trying to figure out what was going on .. and they didnt.. they could had sent a mayday at any moment but they still had not solved the problem...
Lucky where it was, so many boats going back and fourth every day the everyone was already on it. Without them a lot of these people could have ended up dead in the water, New York often has great tragedies but on this day their spirit shined through
It also would have taken away from that incredible sound design. Everything from the groan of the hull to the stewardesses chanting brace instructions was masterfully done
Full credit to the man, we can give him credit as a legitimate life-saver - but I feel like the decision was made for him. He had no chance of reaching that runway.
@@hansolo631 Yes, however there are multiple examples when people did try to reach a runway or panic and stop performing their duties. They could have try to reach a better ground, stall the aircraft or just give up. In this case, he (they) stays very composed, he/they(crew) "does his job". In the given circumstances it is exceprional.
@@filippe3822 And Teterboro airport is among these. It must have been tempting for a few seconds. I think there was one case where it looked like the plane could have reached the runway but one tire connected with a light pole and flipped the plane. (I *think* this was at Teterboro). Point is, I think both men were thinking, nix NJ unless we are SURE we can make it. And the glide slope they were descending on made it clear they couldn't. That's why Sullenberger quickly calculated the Hudson ditch was the best - only - option.
They nailed every scene and moment that happened. This was trueley a miraculous story. I truely believe after the events of 911 in the year 2001, Sully truely restored the faith we have in our pilots today. He pulled every trick He could and every bit of training knowledge He had to land a broken plane into a vast ice cold river with hardly a scratch to the airplane and not a single bruise to any passengers or flight crew. Sully will be long remembered in time for what He and His fellow pilot did. Absolutely astonishing.
It's telling that you'd mentioned 9/11. I'm not American, so the event hasn't scarred me too profoundly. Obviously, thinking about it tears at my heart, but it is, of course, nothing when compared to how the American people experienced it. There's an interactive online-slideshow with the timeline of that day, courtesy of a Russian internet-magazine. Very well-done! It includes all sorts of air traffic control alarm/notification sounds. Blood-chilling stuff. I always have to take a breather or two when I rewatch it on 9/11 every year. Sorry, I digress. The point I wanted to make -- what were the witnesses' thoughts? A plane gliding inside the cityscape at such altitude almost silently... It must have been both bewilderment and dread.
I think to this day, folks are unappreciative of the decision making and virtuoso piloting skills that enabled 155 people to walk away from what, on another day with another pilot, might have been a disaster. He hit the water at the perfect angle and perfect speed to maintain integrity of the plane so it didn't break apart. Hitting water at those sort of speeds is sort of like hitting concrete. From the moment of engine loss, to ditching in the river, this was a masterclass in maintaining a cool head, assessing the situation and coming to all the right conclusions, basically, how to respond to a dire emergency situation 101. Captain Sully should be given ALL the medals.
Met "Hoot" Gibson @ San Jac. Comm. College in Pasadena Texas. He's the captain that steered his jetplane using asymmetrical power settings of the engines when a turbine rotor? in a Lockheed Tristar separated then severed hydraulic lines rendering yoke inoperable. He landed in a Iowa? cornfield. Movie & a Reader's Digest story resulted. Loss of life, I'm sorry, but I do not remember.
The closest to this would be the smaller Garuda Indonesia Flight 421 at almost 6 times the altitude. January 16, 2002, a Boeing 737-300 at 19,000 feet suffered a double flameout of both engines. APU wouldn't start and they"landed" (actually hit the shallow Bengawan Solo River bottom). Plane broke in two pieces with one dead. Shallow river and nearby villagers prevented further fatalities. ALL other commercial jet water landings resulted in high to total fatalities.
@@wagnerpd5921: It was a DC-10, and the captain was Al Haynes. The tail-mounted engine exploded, and severed all three hydraulic systems. 185 people lived, 111 died. It was a tribute to Haynes and Denny Fitch that they were able to save as many people as they did. "Hoot" Gibson is a former Southwest Airlines pilot and Astronaut who now races the aircraft "Strega" at the National Championship Air Races in Reno. He had an uneventful career with Southwest.
@@all-purposeguru5985 my daughter & her husband, who are both Boeing employees, were married on the tarmac at the Reno air races. They never miss it. In fact my daughter was a pylon judge this year. I'll bet her knows him or at least knows that plane. She is part of the Orange section group.
I like how during that entire sequence there weren't any shots of a mom holding her kid, or some other scared passenger like you usually see in these kinds of movies. This was just two pilots confronting a massive obstacle and clearing it perfectly. Nothing else mattered.
One of the pilots, can't remember if it was Sully or Skiles (maybe it was both) remarked that when the plane first hit the water, the nose went so far down that they thought the plane was going to go to the bottom of the river. But once they slowed down, it popped right back up. Must have been scary at first, when they thought it was going to sink to the bottom.
bLaCjAcK Daniels - I think Provocateur executed a complex word salad troll. Maybe trying to achieve plausible deniability on being a 9/11 "truther"? I mean, really, "BIRD fuel"?? "MOTOR beams"? At any rate, "bird fuel" alone is not what led to the collapse of the "motor beams." This has been established many times. Conspiracy trolls gotta troll whenever they can, I guess.
Also, the aircraft engineers who built a plane you could do that to. That plane is travelling at well over 100mph to hit water. It's amazing it didn't break apart.
The remarkable thing about this plane landing in the water is that it stayed in one peace. Usually panes get shredded once they hit water. The captain controlled the impact as soft as he could.
The official analysis was that he hit the plane at precisely the correct angle and speed for a water landing. Off by a degree or two in either direction would have broken the plane and killed everyone.
Damn good flying. Damn good aircraft too. The recent line of Boeings probably wouldn’t have taken half that level of abuse without shattering to pieces. Airbus needed to give their manufacturers and engineers a raise for building those aircraft so well.
Tom Hanks has the worst luck, first the FedEx plane crashed and then he got stranded on an island loosing his wife after a few years, then after that massive ordeal he quit aviation then moved to a different country but then got stuck at an airport for months on end. Finally after that shit show worked itself out he got back into Aviation and then the plane crashes again. I'm not even gonna talk about the spaceship failure it's just to much at this point. What will he do next.
Dont forget flying on several trips on helis over the lovely countryside of SE Asia and always getting booted out of the chopper. The final straw being having to dodge napalm AIRstrike.
@@njdevils3x300 at first I didnt know what you are talking about, then I remembered - Saving Private Ryan. I only like the Omaha part of the movie so I forgot about the rest
No matter how many times I watch Sully, it gets to me emotionally every time. I get the scared butterflies in the stomach as well as feeling like I will cry or actually crying. everyone did a great job on this movie
Thank god Clint Eastwood didn't add any dramatic music or slow-mo. Showing everything in real time actually makes you feel claustrophobic with time. Every second precious!
Notice you can hear the air hostesses in the background chanting "Brace, brace, brace! Heads down, stay down!". From what I heard about the actual event that's exactly what they were doing. Nice touch that you can hear that even in the cockpit in the movie :3
Most people think of flight attendants as the people who serve you a beverage and tell you what time it is at the airport where you just landed. They're actually highly trained professionals whose job it is to keep everyone on board safe and get them out quickly if there's a forced landing. We're fortunate that we so rarely get to see them in action. All three of the cabin crew on Cactus 1549-Donna Dent, Doreen Welsh, and Sheila Dail-are just as much heroes as Sully and Skiles.
Even though I _know_ it lands successfully and everyone lives, I'm still on the edge of my seat watching this. I can't imagine what it must have been like for the pilots just before impact, or during impact, or when the plane stopped and they realized not only were they still alive, but the plane seemed to be mostly intact. I imagine them wondering if it was real.
@@karimsallo I think you're missing the point: there was an extremely high likelihood that upon hitting the water at that kind of speed, the plane would break up. Sullivan had to get that landing angle *perfect* to avoid such a disaster. And he did. At that point he could care less if both wings and the tail fins instantly fell off. The fuselage was in one piece and holding, and that's where the people were.
I'd imagine they were quite calm since they really had no other options. It was like a chess position where all moves but one lose badly, leaving only the other, often very illogical, move.
Same. When I heard they were making this movie, I wanted to see it, but I knew I'd have to wait until it was on DVD because I knew I would need to be able to pause and walk away for a few minutes. Even though I knew it would be fine, I used to have really bad flight anxiety and I didn't want to have a panic attack in the theater, lol.
this scene, and entire movie actually, just brings me to tears. The amount of protocol, training and unity of aircraft staff is absolutely amazing, Years and years of refining aircraft safety becomes obvious in a matter of minutes. There's absolutely nothing but respect to be had for these people. Maybe the actual event was more chaotic, but still, to pull of such a feat is breathtaking.
I think the most chilling and great continuity moment for me is hearing the flight attendants screaming the brace instructions in the background like we saw them doing earlier. It ties the two different sections of the plane together in the mind
My favorite part is when Sully asks Skiles if he has any ideas before committing to putting the craft in the water. Just to check if Jeff can pull out an extra engine he doesn't know about or knows about an extra airport or something.
You never know! He could have been carrying an extra engine in his pocket this whole time, for such occasion.....somehow he got it past security though but that's fine by me
@@tzadiko I mean, it makes sense in most contexts. This one it has a kind of ironic feel to it. But it's the hopeful tone Hanks has that makes me smile.
Heheh. 😂 Eeek. I live two hours away from Charlotte. My dad brought my sister and me up a day or two after the water landing to visit our mom. It was crazy.
i think they just wanted ATC to keep talking so it would give the impression that Sully is concentrating on flying and isnt distracted by the radio calls.
I'm ATC, they will continue to give options until they know your crashed and we'll continue to ask position over and over regardless. That way we can try to give it to first responders. Had this happen to a Cessna that lost engine and was to far to make to airport. Landed in field safely. We ask for position, what pilot wants, places to land including roads and highways nearby. Good times
Yea I came down to say this - he acted this so perfectly. You completely feel the sublime relief he's feeling even though you know his heartrate is jacked. He's almost in shock that they've seemingly made it. If they had just went with him cheering and all smiles, it would have ruined it. This is perfect acting of a man in shock who is processing that he's going to live
Huge credit for the happy outcome also goes to the ferryboat captains. Had they not responded as promptly as they did all on board the aircraft would have died of hypothermia in the frigid waters of the river in spite of the successful ditching.
They were literally in sight of shore. They had life rafts, flotation devices. They could have swam to shore, self rescued, before hypothermia was a major issue. It's not the middle of the Atlantic.
Tom Hanks is by far my all time favorite actor. Not only because he’s one of the best actors ever - even in Bosom Buddies - which was the first time I saw him. But also because he is one of the nicest people out there. Captain Sully - besides my daddy, he is my favorite hero. The word “hero” is used too often when it’s not deserved - athletes are often called heroes. But that word describes Capt Sully because he is the true definition of what a Hero is.
I’m a Flight Attendant this movie gives me both chills & promise that training & keeping calm keeps you, your crew, & your passengers alive, such an amazing effort by all in this situation well done✈️👏👏👏
I feel like the plane deserves some recognition. Massive impacts from a few dozen geese across the whole nose and both engines out, but it was still responsive and stable enough until it was safe to water. Great flying, great airmanship and great engineering. This is how "miracles" are made.
Just this... it's such an amazing tension filled scene. I love it so much, nothing there to distract from the ambient almost gut wrenching reality of falling in a plane. You can almost just feel the pit of your stomach clenching and the dropping sensation. It's a masterpiece in film making.
One of the most gripping movie sequences of the last few decades. And it's REAL and almost certainly doesn't even capture 10% of the true drama and emotion of the situation.
Well there is the odd chance that a ship happens to be nearby. In one case as a sailboat went under 1200 km from nearest land in the Atlantic there happened to be a minelayer less than 100 km away, which launched a fast motorboat. (Coordinated by Norfolk.)
This was a shining example of what it is to be a very well-trained commander and trained for his role by initiating all emergency procedures with great care saving all aboard. Incredible wonderful job!! Later be forced to pass through those damned bureaucrats who do not know how to fly a table!!! Congrats for the CREW! 👏👏👏👏👏
Honestly the weakest part of this movie was how the NTSB was portrayed as a antagonistic, blame-hunting organization rather than one deeply committed to safety and accuracy. Investigations are never ever like this, at all, and in this specific case it was 100% the opposite: the entire investigative team had nothing but praise for the pilots and their efforts, with all the simulations and work showing what an incredible feat it was.
I love the "holy shit, we made it look" they give each other. THAT is acting... without actually being in the situation, presenting a believable emotion using just facial expression and the "holy shit" in the eyes.
It was only after the reunion video that I heard him talk about them chanting brace for impact, heads down. I've watched the movie and now this two times in a row and I thought it was sounds from outside my home but just subtle you can hear that chanting in the background. So amazing all, I keep crying lol
I have a good friend who's an air traffic controller and this scene really drives home some conversations we've had where you just keep your cool no matter what.
Red Zone Police Dept. S.W.A.T team of skylord do you know what a glider pilot is...? It’s civilian and in the UK and maybe US can be flown at the age of 14
The one thing many people don't realize that helped save the lives on that plane after landing was the professional seamanship from the ferry boats and the boats on the Hudson that day. The captains of those vessels were spot on when they brought those boats to that plane within seconds and that saved the lives of those passengers. And yes the flight crew did a remarkable job as well
This scene gets me every time. You can imagine yourself there, the terror you would feel as a passenger. When Sully says, "This is the Captain, brace for impact"....that's chilling to the very core, because it's basically a warning letting you know that in a short time....you might die.
I teach emergency rescue for all 5 branches of the military including the USCG rescue swimmers! The best of the best. I also have my Captain’s license for bringing in large boats into Honolulu Harbor. I was AMAZED at the skill of the large rescue boats--these captains understood the current, the wind pattern to be able to get so close to the plane! Everyone out in 24 minutes??? OMG--that’s one hell of a lot of experience!! Two scenes not shown: 1) The flight attendants were so cool! Together they yelled “Brace, brace, brace! Nothing calms frightened people more than having those in charge who know EXACTLY what to do! 2) After the passengers climbed onto the two wings and inflatable slides, Sully went back inside checking EVERY row for anyone left behind, frigid water sloshing up to his thighs--a frightened child, a person frozen in fear. The passengers were always his first interest. Too bad we don’t have such a person in charge now with the coronavirus.
I saw the security cam footage; the water landing was way smoother than that. It was like buttering a slice of toast. A very, very wet slice of toast. And a 60 ton chunk of aluminum butter.
I remember when this happened and I remember everyone walking away. I have absolutely no connection to NYC or the plane, yet watching this clip makes me really emotional and i can’t figure out why. 11 years later and its still one of the most amazing things that ive ever seen. It seems almost all plane crashes end in tragedy, but for everyone to walk away alive is a master class in superior training, experience, and discipline for Capt. Sully. Im sure pilots train for that now, but at the time, im willing to bet that very few pilots in the world would have been capable of pulling off what he did. EVERYTHING had to to exactly right for everyone to live. Had they landed in the river slower or faster, a degree higher or lower, people die. But this man beat the exponential odds and did it. God bless you Captain Sully.
"Can't figure out why" Why you'd be emotional is quite understandable. Before this happened (as mentioned in the previous parts) There was never training for anything close to these conditions. Any other person in that seat might have shit an entire kitten, fur and all. These guys had no way to return to safely land, any attempt at it meant a very high chance everyone on board was going to die, along with whatever building they (Very likely) would have collided with. These 2 men had 155 people on board hoping and praying they would stay cool and get them home alive. They did everything they possibly could've to try and go by the book and it all failed. Their only option? Landing in the water, from what I recall most water landings end with the plane sheared in half and a very high loss of life. Even still, they never flinched, never wavered in their job: Get as many people home alive as possible. It's also somewhat hard to hear in the background but you can hear the flight attendants chanting for everyone to brace themselves for impact. This wasn't just a Hollywood scene clever constructed to show some badass pilot, this was a real person who basically managed to bend the laws of probability over his knee and make it his plaything. On top ALL OF THIS, how quickly people reacted to get everyone off the plane. How quickly people saw a clear danger to complete and utter strangers and leapt into action with a frenzy you would never find in your daily life. The work of every boat on the Hudson, every crew member on that plane and the responders was nothing short of heroic and god-damned legendary.
Part of the reason it’s so intense is because there has never been a successful water ditching of a passenger aircraft with zero loss of life. In fact, I don’t think there’s been such an event where all of the _crew_ survived, let alone all of the passengers. Ditching in the water at the speeds most aircraft land at is like hitting concrete, but also being able to cut into said concrete at a moment’s notice. It just rips aircraft apart effortlessly as soon as the littlest error is made, and those vehicles are not easy to land perfectly under the best of conditions to begin with!
It’s an incredible film and I thoroughly recommend it. It’s Clint Eastwood at his best and all the actors give excellent performances too, indeed as Tom Hanks always does.
I know Sully is the hero of this movie but can we take a moment to appreciate Jeff Skiles. My God! My mother wouldn't trust me the way he did trust Sully. Everyone needs someone like Jeff Skiles in their life. The calm and composure of him is unbelievable.. It's a movie but I am sure he must have been pretty close to this interpretation.
You know why the FAA usually does not release black box recordings of the pilots' conversations before their plane crashes? Because virtually 100% of the time the pilots are swearing like drunken sailors at the top of their lungs, and many of them are cursing God while doing it. The fact this Scully guy does not even raise his voice in the slightest sign of panic, shows he was not afraid to die, cause he knew where he was going if he did.
Captain Sullenberger now has a follower. He is called Damir Yusupov. Very similar story, bird strike and double engine failure shortly after take off, the main difference is that in the absence of a decent river Captain Yusupov landed on a corn field, saving everybody.
It is scientifically proven that the presence of a mustache in the cockpit increase your chances of survival during crash by 50%.
good one!
Combine 2 of them and you now have 100% survival probability.

The question is if there were better landings, the whole plot of this movie. Because if there were many better opportunities, it calls into question the competence of the pilot.
Yeah, and I believe this was the first aircraft that ditched to have all passengers survive. There was a 737 that tried to ditch in a river once and nearly had everyone onboard survive. *One* person on that plane died.
Bradley Akulov but there wasn’t
A lot of discipline to not undercut the tension with slow-mo or dramatic music, making the silence of no engines much more terrifying
dumwyteguy Good observation. You nailed it.
Bro was on! Didn't trip. But the folks was freakin', man. So Blood hammered out and jammed jet ship. Tightened that bad sucker inside the Hudson like a mother. Shit.
This exactly, no music made this MUCH more intense to watch
Jendall, can you translate that gibberish into English, please?
@@leeeastwood6368 The pilot was really on his game. He didn't freak out but the passengers were freaking out(scared). So the pilot stayed cool and flew the plane. He incredibly flew that bad sucker(plane) into the Hudson River like a professional. Shit. There ya go.
"Ladies and gentleman, this is the captain speaking. On behalf of he crew, we would like to thank you for sailing US Airways."

Sailing.
"It's an honor to fly with you".

@@novemberalpha6023 " its an honor to sail with you "
You know you're screwed when the QRH says "wait 30 seconds" at 500 ft.
They did make the point in the movie that this was not something they had ever trained for. You can put any situation in the simulator, but who ever thought of a bird strike knocking out both engines just after take off?
Sully's script being from the cockpit recording, notice how Sully completely ignored traffic controllers once he knew they would be of no use to him. Got to focus on the task at hand and can't afford any distractions.
Keenan Mosdell Does irritate me that they didn't just use the recording verbatim though...takes some of the realism away. The CGI is awful too
Muggles87 the dialogs here follow almost completelly the CVR transcript.. they added a couple bits (like the "wich engines did you lose - both.. both engines, that exchange didnt happent" and they omitted the part where Sully said yes to "do you want to go to Teterboro?" ... also the "life is easy in the air" was added... tought the "what a beautifull view of the hudson today" was real and its on the CVR
you fly the aircraft first.. no matter what.. then when you are not falling off the sky or fighting the controls then you worry about coms.. The crew of AF447 didnt radioed for help in their terrific fall all the way to the ocean because they were busy trying to figure out what was going on .. and they didnt.. they could had sent a mayday at any moment but they still had not solved the problem...
kinda like my wife does with me
Fly the plane then comunicate he was busy with the fly the plane part and they were going through countless procedures in the actual event.
For real though, 24 mins to rescue 155 people is outstanding. Plane falls from the sky and, boom everyone is on it. Way go New York.
Lucky where it was, so many boats going back and fourth every day the everyone was already on it. Without them a lot of these people could have ended up dead in the water, New York often has great tragedies but on this day their spirit shined through
MrcabooseVG Just how in control Sully was - he specifically went for the NYC Hudson knowing it was where search and rescue could easily reach.
where else would he go???
TPTGopher I don’t think that’s what he was thinking. He just had nowhere else to set her down at since it’s New York.
MrcabooseVG, lot of boats makes this landing even more amazing. Plane had no much or time space to maneuver.
masterful edited scene and sound design. it required no music, but it's fucking intense.
It also would have taken away from that incredible sound design. Everything from the groan of the hull to the stewardesses chanting brace instructions was masterfully done
Indeed, this movie has some of the greatest sound design there is. It's up there with Titanic and Chernobyl in my opinion.
Except for the flight physics. That turn animation looks like it was made by a 4 year old who has never seen a plane fly
Yes. I really didn't expect it to grab me, but it was indeed done very well.
yup agreed.. this is art!
With mustaches like that, you know everything is going to be alright.
After this flight, Tom Hanks got stuck in the airport for many months...
TheToolofLight The terminal movie?
Well obviously
Did this come out before "The terminal"?
No. It was after. Like a decade after
TheToolofLight lol
"Please take care when removing your bags as items may have shifted during landing."
Shift happens.
ahahhahaha
Thanks for flying US Airways , have a nice day.
"Welcome to the Hudson river the temperature is -500000°F we'd like to thank you for flying with US airways and we wish you a good day"
If I was in the plane my bowels would have shifted from that landing lol
That moment when he decides to abandon landing on a runway and aim for the river took titanic sized nuts.
Full credit to the man, we can give him credit as a legitimate life-saver - but I feel like the decision was made for him. He had no chance of reaching that runway.
@@hansolo631 Yes, however there are multiple examples when people did try to reach a runway or panic and stop performing their duties. They could have try to reach a better ground, stall the aircraft or just give up. In this case, he (they) stays very composed, he/they(crew) "does his job". In the given circumstances it is exceprional.
@@filippe3822 And Teterboro airport is among these. It must have been tempting for a few seconds. I think there was one case where it looked like the plane could have reached the runway but one tire connected with a light pole and flipped the plane. (I *think* this was at Teterboro). Point is, I think both men were thinking, nix NJ unless we are SURE we can make it. And the glide slope they were descending on made it clear they couldn't. That's why Sullenberger quickly calculated the Hudson ditch was the best - only - option.
He had no choice. It was either that or recreate 9/11 somewhere in either New Jersey or New York.
Odd analogy, since the Titanic sank.
But maybe if there had been two of them… 🤔
They nailed every scene and moment that happened. This was trueley a miraculous story. I truely believe after the events of 911 in the year 2001, Sully truely restored the faith we have in our pilots today. He pulled every trick He could and every bit of training knowledge He had to land a broken plane into a vast ice cold river with hardly a scratch to the airplane and not a single bruise to any passengers or flight crew. Sully will be long remembered in time for what He and His fellow pilot did. Absolutely astonishing.
One of the Flight Attendants broke one of her legs, but that was the only injury.
A MIRACLE indeed!!!!
It's telling that you'd mentioned 9/11. I'm not American, so the event hasn't scarred me too profoundly. Obviously, thinking about it tears at my heart, but it is, of course, nothing when compared to how the American people experienced it. There's an interactive online-slideshow with the timeline of that day, courtesy of a Russian internet-magazine. Very well-done! It includes all sorts of air traffic control alarm/notification sounds. Blood-chilling stuff. I always have to take a breather or two when I rewatch it on 9/11 every year.
Sorry, I digress. The point I wanted to make -- what were the witnesses' thoughts? A plane gliding inside the cityscape at such altitude almost silently... It must have been both bewilderment and dread.
@@smc1942also someone got fuel on their eyes and became partially blind or something, and there were some other injuries as well
@@starvingmosquito8851
Oh, I hadn't heard of that. My understanding was as I stated, only one injured.
Not sure how anyone would have lost faith in pilots after 9/11, they weren't exactly at fault.
Captain: "Brace for impact."
Everyone else: "Oh my god! No!"
Me: "That sounded like Tom Hanks. He was fantastic in Forest Gump."
"Hey, was that Captain Phillips?"
Why did I read that like it was a flashback of Peter Griffin
G G I saw 9/11 in this booth
"well no wonder we're going down, why'd they put him in the cockpit when he should be on the bridge?!"
T.H.'s best work:
"Bachelor Party."
I think to this day, folks are unappreciative of the decision making and virtuoso piloting skills that enabled 155 people to walk away from what, on another day with another pilot, might have been a disaster. He hit the water at the perfect angle and perfect speed to maintain integrity of the plane so it didn't break apart. Hitting water at those sort of speeds is sort of like hitting concrete. From the moment of engine loss, to ditching in the river, this was a masterclass in maintaining a cool head, assessing the situation and coming to all the right conclusions, basically, how to respond to a dire emergency situation 101. Captain Sully should be given ALL the medals.
Agreed.
Met "Hoot" Gibson @ San Jac. Comm. College in Pasadena Texas. He's the captain that steered his jetplane using asymmetrical power settings of the engines when a turbine rotor? in a Lockheed Tristar separated then severed hydraulic lines rendering yoke inoperable. He landed in a Iowa? cornfield. Movie & a Reader's Digest story resulted. Loss of life, I'm sorry, but I do not remember.
The closest to this would be the smaller Garuda Indonesia Flight 421 at almost 6 times the altitude. January 16, 2002, a Boeing 737-300 at 19,000 feet suffered a double flameout of both engines. APU wouldn't start and they"landed" (actually hit the shallow Bengawan Solo River bottom). Plane broke in two pieces with one dead. Shallow river and nearby villagers prevented further fatalities. ALL other commercial jet water landings resulted in high to total fatalities.
@@wagnerpd5921: It was a DC-10, and the captain was Al Haynes. The tail-mounted engine exploded, and severed all three hydraulic systems. 185 people lived, 111 died. It was a tribute to Haynes and Denny Fitch that they were able to save as many people as they did.
"Hoot" Gibson is a former Southwest Airlines pilot and Astronaut who now races the aircraft "Strega" at the National Championship Air Races in Reno. He had an uneventful career with Southwest.
@@all-purposeguru5985 my daughter & her husband, who are both Boeing employees, were married on the tarmac at the Reno air races. They never miss it. In fact my daughter was a pylon judge this year. I'll bet her knows him or at least knows that plane. She is part of the Orange section group.
I like how during that entire sequence there weren't any shots of a mom holding her kid, or some other scared passenger like you usually see in these kinds of movies. This was just two pilots confronting a massive obstacle and clearing it perfectly. Nothing else mattered.
Those shots were in an earlier scene.
“Are you scared? Well, don’t you worry honey. If they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy could land it.”
Apollo 13
One of the pilots, can't remember if it was Sully or Skiles (maybe it was both) remarked that when the plane first hit the water, the nose went so far down that they thought the plane was going to go to the bottom of the river. But once they slowed down, it popped right back up. Must have been scary at first, when they thought it was going to sink to the bottom.
I think it was scary alllll the way
The Airbus engineers who made such a ditch-able plane are the real heroes.
@@taylorc2542 "ditchable" is a bit misleading. Landing on the water with the plane in one piece with some cracks is more of what it is.
Nah ditching is the formal aviation term for a crash water landing so ditch-able was perfect.
I wonder what physics are in play with such a landing. One would think you have to land the plane in exactly the right fashion to avoid diving.
If only Tom Hanks was the pilot in Cast Away
If only Wilson was his copilot
Provocateur Lol there’s always one of you
Then everybody was on that island
Lol, good one.
bLaCjAcK Daniels - I think Provocateur executed a complex word salad troll. Maybe trying to achieve plausible deniability on being a 9/11 "truther"? I mean, really, "BIRD fuel"?? "MOTOR beams"? At any rate, "bird fuel" alone is not what led to the collapse of the "motor beams." This has been established many times. Conspiracy trolls gotta troll whenever they can, I guess.
From the pilots, to the flight attendants to the rescue teams, this was true professionals at work here. Such an outstanding job by all of them!
Also, the aircraft engineers who built a plane you could do that to. That plane is travelling at well over 100mph to hit water. It's amazing it didn't break apart.
The remarkable thing about this plane landing in the water is that it stayed in one peace. Usually panes get shredded once they hit water. The captain controlled the impact as soft as he could.
Keeping his landing gear up definitely helped too
The official analysis was that he hit the plane at precisely the correct angle and speed for a water landing. Off by a degree or two in either direction would have broken the plane and killed everyone.
Damn good flying. Damn good aircraft too. The recent line of Boeings probably wouldn’t have taken half that level of abuse without shattering to pieces. Airbus needed to give their manufacturers and engineers a raise for building those aircraft so well.
Tom Hanks has the worst luck, first the FedEx plane crashed and then he got stranded on an island loosing his wife after a few years, then after that massive ordeal he quit aviation then moved to a different country but then got stuck at an airport for months on end. Finally after that shit show worked itself out he got back into Aviation and then the plane crashes again. I'm not even gonna talk about the spaceship failure it's just to much at this point. What will he do next.
very funny
Dont forget flying on several trips on helis over the lovely countryside of SE Asia and always getting booted out of the chopper. The final straw being having to dodge napalm AIRstrike.
None of that happened cuz he died in World War 2
@@njdevils3x300 at first I didnt know what you are talking about, then I remembered - Saving Private Ryan. I only like the Omaha part of the movie so I forgot about the rest
Note to self, never fly with Tom Hanks.
No matter how many times I watch Sully, it gets to me emotionally every time. I get the scared butterflies in the stomach as well as feeling like I will cry or actually crying. everyone did a great job on this movie
Thank god Clint Eastwood didn't add any dramatic music or slow-mo. Showing everything in real time actually makes you feel claustrophobic with time. Every second precious!
Notice you can hear the air hostesses in the background chanting "Brace, brace, brace! Heads down, stay down!". From what I heard about the actual event that's exactly what they were doing. Nice touch that you can hear that even in the cockpit in the movie :3
Realism.
Most people think of flight attendants as the people who serve you a beverage and tell you what time it is at the airport where you just landed. They're actually highly trained professionals whose job it is to keep everyone on board safe and get them out quickly if there's a forced landing. We're fortunate that we so rarely get to see them in action.
All three of the cabin crew on Cactus 1549-Donna Dent, Doreen Welsh, and Sheila Dail-are just as much heroes as Sully and Skiles.
Even though I _know_ it lands successfully and everyone lives, I'm still on the edge of my seat watching this. I can't imagine what it must have been like for the pilots just before impact, or during impact, or when the plane stopped and they realized not only were they still alive, but the plane seemed to be mostly intact. I imagine them wondering if it was real.
The plane was scrapped.
@Karim Salloum "The plane was scrapped"
No it wasn't. You can go see it at the Carolinas Aviation Museum in Charlotte NC.
@@karimsallo I think you're missing the point: there was an extremely high likelihood that upon hitting the water at that kind of speed, the plane would break up. Sullivan had to get that landing angle *perfect* to avoid such a disaster. And he did. At that point he could care less if both wings and the tail fins instantly fell off. The fuselage was in one piece and holding, and that's where the people were.
I'd imagine they were quite calm since they really had no other options. It was like a chess position where all moves but one lose badly, leaving only the other, often very illogical, move.
Same. When I heard they were making this movie, I wanted to see it, but I knew I'd have to wait until it was on DVD because I knew I would need to be able to pause and walk away for a few minutes. Even though I knew it would be fine, I used to have really bad flight anxiety and I didn't want to have a panic attack in the theater, lol.
this scene, and entire movie actually, just brings me to tears. The amount of protocol, training and unity of aircraft staff is absolutely amazing, Years and years of refining aircraft safety becomes obvious in a matter of minutes. There's absolutely nothing but respect to be had for these people. Maybe the actual event was more chaotic, but still, to pull of such a feat is breathtaking.
I always get very emotional and cry every time I watch this scene and hear "Brace for impact" even though I know that everything will be ok.
I think the most chilling and great continuity moment for me is hearing the flight attendants screaming the brace instructions in the background like we saw them doing earlier.
It ties the two different sections of the plane together in the mind
Another happy landing.
CompassProductions this is where the fun begins.
Time to abandon ship
I don't mind flying but what YOU"RE doing is suicide!
joethahobo flying is for droids
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
My favorite part is when Sully asks Skiles if he has any ideas before committing to putting the craft in the water. Just to check if Jeff can pull out an extra engine he doesn't know about or knows about an extra airport or something.
You never know! He could have been carrying an extra engine in his pocket this whole time, for such occasion.....somehow he got it past security though but that's fine by me
It's called Crew Resource Management. Get ideas from everyone
@@tzadiko I mean, it makes sense in most contexts. This one it has a kind of ironic feel to it. But it's the hopeful tone Hanks has that makes me smile.
@@nopelandfill maybe carrying an extra engine in his mustache
As he put it towards the end of the movie: *”we* did *our* job.”
It was a team effort from start to finish, and they both knew that.
It amazes me that no one and I mean no one was killed in this emergency water landing huge props to captain and crew for that
Plane: 100 ft above river with no engines.
ATC: You can try land Charlotte airport in North Carolina 550 miles south.
Heheh. 😂 Eeek. I live two hours away from Charlotte. My dad brought my sister and me up a day or two after the water landing to visit our mom. It was crazy.
i think they just wanted ATC to keep talking so it would give the impression that Sully is concentrating on flying and isnt distracted by the radio calls.
Lol
Hahahaha
I'm ATC, they will continue to give options until they know your crashed and we'll continue to ask position over and over regardless. That way we can try to give it to first responders. Had this happen to a Cessna that lost engine and was to far to make to airport. Landed in field safely. We ask for position, what pilot wants, places to land including roads and highways nearby. Good times
The look on Aaron Eckhardt's (Jeff Skiles) face, that's great acting, he looks like he's really landing on the Hudson River.
Yes, I think his real job is acting, not flying airplanes. :)
thats just acting (his job)
He was "just doing his job". :)
Yea I came down to say this - he acted this so perfectly. You completely feel the sublime relief he's feeling even though you know his heartrate is jacked. He's almost in shock that they've seemingly made it. If they had just went with him cheering and all smiles, it would have ruined it. This is perfect acting of a man in shock who is processing that he's going to live
@@hansolo631 Or, at least, that there's real hope that they will all get out of this alive.
Huge credit for the happy outcome also goes to the ferryboat captains. Had they not responded as promptly as they did all on board the aircraft would have died of hypothermia in the frigid waters of the river in spite of the successful ditching.
The life rafts would have saved a few, but yeah, it would have been really dicey. Almost was for a few of them, the ones who tried to swim.
Provocateur Yeah you aren't a fucking Slovak nice try buddy
They had been training even more for a moment such as this ever since 9/11.
They were literally in sight of shore. They had life rafts, flotation devices. They could have swam to shore, self rescued, before hypothermia was a major issue. It's not the middle of the Atlantic.
Some could have, not all. I think you VASTLY overestimate the ability of 155 random people to save themselves.
All about breaking the surface tension just the right way. Like skipping a rock. A thing of beauty.
Such a good scene. I come back every now and then just to rewatch it. So well executed.
“Relax. Look around. Make a call.” - Jocko Willink. In this case, that's exactly what Sully did. Well done.
Tom Hanks is by far my all time favorite actor. Not only because he’s one of the best actors ever - even in Bosom Buddies - which was the first time I saw him. But also because he is one of the nicest people out there.
Captain Sully - besides my daddy, he is my favorite hero. The word “hero” is used too often when it’s not deserved - athletes are often called heroes. But that word describes Capt Sully because he is the true definition of what a Hero is.
No matter how any times I watch that part it still gives me chills even knowing the outcome.
Captain Sully is a Hero. He was touched by Angels that day.
Scary watching simulation; can't imagine what that was like
I’m a Flight Attendant this movie gives me both chills & promise that training & keeping calm keeps you, your crew, & your passengers alive, such an amazing effort by all in this situation well done✈️👏👏👏
I remember this in college... what a story, and as a tri-stater, I have to say this was a great day in history.
"With great mustache comes great mustachability."
-Peter Griffin
I feel like the plane deserves some recognition. Massive impacts from a few dozen geese across the whole nose and both engines out, but it was still responsive and stable enough until it was safe to water. Great flying, great airmanship and great engineering. This is how "miracles" are made.
makes me tear up every time i see this. That no one died is remarkable. Great flying Capt. Sully!
Tom Hanks is undoubtedly one of the all time greatest actors
Just this... it's such an amazing tension filled scene. I love it so much, nothing there to distract from the ambient almost gut wrenching reality of falling in a plane. You can almost just feel the pit of your stomach clenching and the dropping sensation. It's a masterpiece in film making.
One of the most gripping movie sequences of the last few decades. And it's REAL and almost certainly doesn't even capture 10% of the true drama and emotion of the situation.
Any landing you can walk away from (or swim) is a good landing.
How so?
Not if you end up somewhere in the Atlantic
RingSight91 it's not impossible
Landing comes from Land, right?
Well there is the odd chance that a ship happens to be nearby. In one case as a sailboat went under 1200 km from nearest land in the Atlantic there happened to be a minelayer less than 100 km away, which launched a fast motorboat.
(Coordinated by Norfolk.)
This was a shining example of what it is to be a very well-trained commander and trained for his role by initiating all emergency procedures with great care saving all aboard. Incredible wonderful job!! Later be forced to pass through those damned bureaucrats who do not know how to fly a table!!!
Congrats for the CREW! 👏👏👏👏👏
The movie is dramatized for entertaining purposes. In real life the committee never questioned that Sully was a hero, it was a mere procedure
Honestly the weakest part of this movie was how the NTSB was portrayed as a antagonistic, blame-hunting organization rather than one deeply committed to safety and accuracy. Investigations are never ever like this, at all, and in this specific case it was 100% the opposite: the entire investigative team had nothing but praise for the pilots and their efforts, with all the simulations and work showing what an incredible feat it was.
I love the "holy shit, we made it look" they give each other. THAT is acting... without actually being in the situation, presenting a believable emotion using just facial expression and the "holy shit" in the eyes.
His skill saved everybody on the plane, and probably a few dozen on the ground. Amazing decision, amazing flying. Don't ever doubt he saved everyone.

That's a damn good pilot and a damn good airplane. Kudos to Capt Sully and Airbus.
The one thing many people don't realize that helped save the lives on that plane after landing was the professional seamanship from the ferry boats and the boats on the Hudson that day. The captains of those vessels were spot on when they brought those boats to that plane within seconds and that saved the lives of those passengers. And yes the flight crew did a remarkable job as well
This was a absolutely AWSOME movie! I was holding my breath the whole time.
Holy crap what a scene!!!
Tom Hanks is the best actor in Hollywood and Captain Sullenberger is an American hero.
Why do i get teary eyed everytime i see this scene.
The people in the back round made it so much more vibrant
'back round'?... what is back round?
Dennis Smith chill dude im sure you know what i meant
@@dennissmith6394 When people pass a bottle among themselves, and the next bottle goes the other way around - back round.
This scene gets me every time. You can imagine yourself there, the terror you would feel as a passenger. When Sully says, "This is the Captain, brace for impact"....that's chilling to the very core, because it's basically a warning letting you know that in a short time....you might die.
I teach emergency rescue for all 5 branches of the military including the USCG rescue swimmers! The best of the best. I also have my Captain’s license for bringing in large boats into Honolulu Harbor. I was AMAZED at the skill of the large rescue boats--these captains understood the current, the wind pattern to be able to get so close to the plane! Everyone out in 24 minutes??? OMG--that’s one hell of a lot of experience!!
Two scenes not shown:
1) The flight attendants were so cool! Together they yelled “Brace, brace, brace! Nothing calms frightened people more than having those in charge who know EXACTLY what to do!
2) After the passengers climbed onto the two wings and inflatable slides, Sully went back inside checking EVERY row for anyone left behind, frigid water sloshing up to his thighs--a frightened child, a person frozen in fear. The passengers were always his first interest.
Too bad we don’t have such a person in charge now with the coronavirus.
I saw the security cam footage; the water landing was way smoother than that. It was like buttering a slice of toast. A very, very wet slice of toast. And a 60 ton chunk of aluminum butter.
Nice aircraft washing
A bit expensive though...

New York toilet...
@@Quasihamster Excellent service is often expensive
masterful edited scene and sound design. it required no music, but it's fucking intense.
I remember when this happened and I remember everyone walking away. I have absolutely no connection to NYC or the plane, yet watching this clip makes me really emotional and i can’t figure out why. 11 years later and its still one of the most amazing things that ive ever seen. It seems almost all plane crashes end in tragedy, but for everyone to walk away alive is a master class in superior training, experience, and discipline for Capt. Sully. Im sure pilots train for that now, but at the time, im willing to bet that very few pilots in the world would have been capable of pulling off what he did.
EVERYTHING had to to exactly right for everyone to live. Had they landed in the river slower or faster, a degree higher or lower, people die. But this man beat the exponential odds and did it. God bless you Captain Sully.
"Can't figure out why" Why you'd be emotional is quite understandable. Before this happened (as mentioned in the previous parts) There was never training for anything close to these conditions. Any other person in that seat might have shit an entire kitten, fur and all.
These guys had no way to return to safely land, any attempt at it meant a very high chance everyone on board was going to die, along with whatever building they (Very likely) would have collided with. These 2 men had 155 people on board hoping and praying they would stay cool and get them home alive.
They did everything they possibly could've to try and go by the book and it all failed. Their only option? Landing in the water, from what I recall most water landings end with the plane sheared in half and a very high loss of life. Even still, they never flinched, never wavered in their job: Get as many people home alive as possible.
It's also somewhat hard to hear in the background but you can hear the flight attendants chanting for everyone to brace themselves for impact. This wasn't just a Hollywood scene clever constructed to show some badass pilot, this was a real person who basically managed to bend the laws of probability over his knee and make it his plaything.
On top ALL OF THIS, how quickly people reacted to get everyone off the plane. How quickly people saw a clear danger to complete and utter strangers and leapt into action with a frenzy you would never find in your daily life. The work of every boat on the Hudson, every crew member on that plane and the responders was nothing short of heroic and god-damned legendary.
Part of the reason it’s so intense is because there has never been a successful water ditching of a passenger aircraft with zero loss of life. In fact, I don’t think there’s been such an event where all of the _crew_ survived, let alone all of the passengers. Ditching in the water at the speeds most aircraft land at is like hitting concrete, but also being able to cut into said concrete at a moment’s notice. It just rips aircraft apart effortlessly as soon as the littlest error is made, and those vehicles are not easy to land perfectly under the best of conditions to begin with!
Tom hanks never gets old
It’s an incredible film and I thoroughly recommend it. It’s Clint Eastwood at his best and all the actors give excellent performances too, indeed as Tom Hanks always does.
hero
omg verified man
yes hero
The way the air hostesses instructed the passengers as soon as they heard "Brace for impact" from the Captain. Goosebumps.
Captain Sully, great pilot, he was calm all through out and always thinking of the people with him. Truly a hero on my book.
God bless this man
Who else got chills watching this ?
Imagine the workload in that cockpit immediately after the birdstrike. Incredible stuff!
This scene makes me choke up everytime.
Wow. This vid absolutely rocks even without any volume.
Captain sully was so calm in the cockpit like everything's alright no worries
Literally the room is on fire, “This is fine” meme
I know Sully is the hero of this movie but can we take a moment to appreciate Jeff Skiles. My God! My mother wouldn't trust me the way he did trust Sully. Everyone needs someone like Jeff Skiles in their life. The calm and composure of him is unbelievable.. It's a movie but I am sure he must have been pretty close to this interpretation.
This film is a flawless masterpiece.
I love how you can hear the flight attendants switching into beast mode in the background.
"You got any ideas?"
"Yeah, where's Superman when you need him?"
"He's busy killing people while fighting General Zodd."
He's in the left seat, flying the plane.
@@gojira4life Check and mate.
Yeah.... .
Christopher Reeve: come back, we need you!
Presumably banging Louis
Scully is truly awesome. He didn't even waste time to swear.
You know why the FAA usually does not release black box recordings of the pilots' conversations before their plane crashes? Because virtually 100% of the time the pilots are swearing like drunken sailors at the top of their lungs, and many of them are cursing God while doing it. The fact this Scully guy does not even raise his voice in the slightest sign of panic, shows he was not afraid to die, cause he knew where he was going if he did.
God the WOOP WOOP! PULL UP is pretty scary but I love that sound.
Captain Sullenberger now has a follower. He is called Damir Yusupov. Very similar story, bird strike and double engine failure shortly after take off, the main difference is that in the absence of a decent river Captain Yusupov landed on a corn field, saving everybody.
