That is not entirly true. If you listen very closely, at around 02:05 you hear the co-captain raging and calling the air traffic controller an idiot. If the captain lost his cool, even for seconds, like his co-captain did, things might not have turned out so well. Kudos to everyone involved; captain, crew, the air traffic controller and of course the ferry boats who came to rescue very quickly (in another video you can see, that the first one has arrived about 4 minutes after the air plane landed in the Houdson River - which is a very good time).
RafaelMarcF22 Then you are just hearing things and don't know what you're talking about, because Sully's co-Pilot Jeff Skiles was busy going through the steps from the Emergency Manual desperately trying to get the engines started and NEVER got on the mic to say anything to or about Air Traffic Control! Jeff's mind and "attention" was on Nothing else! I don't know who you think you heard say that but it certainly wasn't the Co-Pilot!
That air traffic controller deserves a lot of credit for the quick response. Hard to stay as calm and collected in a situation like that. For once a news clip ends on some great observations.
The pilot has obviously been dubbed a hero but I say that the air traffic controller was just as much a hero for remaining calm and being able to contact multiple potential sites at what had to be no more than a few seconds. Pilot called in emergency and the controller immediately knew exactly what to do and whom to call. How many of us can say that we could handle that situation with that much precision and accuracy?
The worst part is is the air traffic guy thought he lost the plane and everyone on board until he was being interviewed about the incident and his coworker told him everyone was alive.
actually, when you hear his testimony. He thought that he was lost the plane, and was like "I couldn't do anything to safe them" and then he recieved the call that the plane was safe in the river... was like his soul return to his body. (to clarify, until this event no one pull this manouver succesfully so for the controller when he heard "we are going to end up in the Hudson" was like "I have to sacrify the ship" and a death sentence) That's also why all this is so friking amazing...

The way Sully said “unable”, you can tell his mind was just spinning. He had ice running through those veins, all of them did. ATC man handled it with ease, shewwww.
They call this a crash, this is no crash, this is an intentional and direct landing, not an optimal landing by any means but the best landing given the situation.
True but credit also goes to the rapid response of all boats nearby. As soon as the plane hit every boat within sight began coming to the rescue. They are all heroes.
I am in no way religious - but miracles can still be used to describe amazing, extraordinary, and successful positive events - even to atheists. So many minutiae could have been insignificantly different and the outcome would have been catastrophic. No work of "God" but of an actual man in the sky. And an amazing ATC officer.
Randy Phillips credit also to the plane. Airbus fly by wire technology is the most advanced in the world and made the landing as easy as possible under the circumstances
@@iain075yeah I hope you figured out by now. Just like most places with car crashes. You gotta help by law. A plane, you have no choice in any state. Car crashes I think you don't have to stop at 10 states idk
I absolutely love how many ferries are around. They showed up to help asap and it makes me so happy to know it was so important for them to help and save lives.
@ Absolutely not true. No alcohol in his system at all, same with the first officer. It was the huge flock of geese that destroyed both engines, the officers were found innocent of any crimes. No drugs either in case you are wondering.
The best part about this whole situation is that, unbidden, everyone from the Ferry to the tugboats immediately came to help the passengers so they wouldn't freeze to death in the river. I'm quite proud to be a New Yorker.
I notice this in big cities they might not all chat to one another on the train but they always step up quietly to help. In London we have had ppl risk their lives in knife attacks and on tube someone will always offer to carry the pram or suitcase etc
I watched the movie “Sully” about this event and it made me cry. The calmness and skill of the captain and his crew, the work off the controller, the rescue boats, firemen, divers and all the people on the plane. It’s a god damn miracle! Everyone worked together! If panic would have taken over a lot of life’s would have been lost. I’m a nurse, and in emergencies we work together as a team, if everyone is doing what they are trained for, miracles happen. It’s a feeling I just can’t explain. Got deeply touched by the movie.
I'd really like to shake the hand of that air traffic controller. I know there were many heroes that day, including Captain Sully, but I think that air traffic controller is to be commended for keeping his cool and thinking on his feet. He is why the response time was so fast.
Yeah. He kinda fell short in the movie. In the movie, it's like the entire ATC staff is just not doing anything, dispite being told that he is going down in the Hudson. It's not until the Captain of a Boat allerts authorities that they dispatch a helicopter. I guess it is more dramatic this way.
The ATC was horrified when he heard those words, because the expected outcome from trying to land that type of plane on a river would be that the plane would break apart and a lot of people would die. Had Capt. Sullenberger been any less skillful or the weather conditions worse, this would have been a tragedy. In fact, the ATC thought the worst for a while until he heard that the plane was in one piece and all souls on board were being rescued.
True story: thirty-five years ago my husband was on a Cessna with his pilot friend and their engine conked out and the pilot couldn't restart it. They made an emergency landing in a cornfield. They had to hike to a farmhouse to call for help, then get a ride to an airport to get a flight back home. Later that night in bed, just before we fell asleep, I idly asked, "So where did you guys land when you were out today?" He named a small town in the middle of nowhere, and I said, "I didn't know they had an airport there." He said, "They don't."
Right?! I was wondering the same thing. Tower was very specific what flight number it was too. Not sure if the responder normally tracks all flights and was making record, or if neither knew what else to say. lol
I thought that was a little goofy. Like bro, its gonna be a big airbus floating or sinking in the Hudson by the tunnel. Now go start the van and get moving lol
lol i was wondering how important saying near the Lincoln even is... unless the plane sinks instantly your not gonna miss that from the vantage point of a helicopter lol
Did Patrick Harten ever get recognition for his assistance? I know it's his job as a ATC but honestly, everything went right for Cactus 1549. Not only did the pilots do their jobs with the greatest expertise but Patrick did his exceptionally well & went well over his job to help this flight. This is why everyone survived as even the ferry operators & scuba cops as Sully has stated ALL did their jobs. Those passengers got a second chance at life thanks to everybody. Also when u think about it, the plane itself cooperated perfectly even though Sully knew what he was trying to do. It could have broke apart or sank or exploded, anything was likely BUT it went remarkably well. I never get sick of this story knowing it ended well even though it has been 11 years.
Yeah, many factors like clear weather, calm atmosphere with no winds, and so many others helped it. Captain Sully and crew, ATC, ferrymen and so on , all acted professionally to help it through. Also, kudos to the passengers for not creating any drama resulting in panic. Quite an extraordinary feat, maybe never repeated again in our lifetime. Scenes like this make us proud to be a human, where coordination and cooperation are on the money.
Yes, he was recognized. He received an award from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, and he was interviewed for the _Mayday_ episode depicting this incident.
Don't forget the crew. You can hear them yelling stay down heads down in the background after Sully said brace for impact. It's because of them that everybody got out of the plane so fast.
@@XiaoP76 I remember that the woman flight attendant in the rear section of the plane got a pretty serious leg injury when the plane hit the water (those in the rear got the worst of the impact), but she still managed to keep doing her job.
Guys, HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
This was a perfect example of how well-trained individuals (in the cockpit, in Air Traffic Control and in rescue resources) all remained calm and professional (just as they were trained to do). That training and cool-headedness is why this story has a good ending.
This is still so amazing. Everyone did their job well that day, but especially the pilot. He is definitely a hero, no one could ever doubt that. He had ONE chance to make that landing, and he had to do it just right. Other pilots have tried to make water landings before, and if you don't do it right, the plane will break apart and probably kill everyone on board. But Captain Sullenberger managed to do it and EVERYONE survived. How often do you hear that? A plane loses all its engine power but the pilot still gets the plane down in one piece and everyone survives?! This guy has to be the best pilot in the world. I really hope he trained other pilots before he retired!
_"This guy has to be the best pilot in the world"_ No. Every pilot is trained for this situation. The credit here goes to the Airbus engineers. Try to do that with a Boeing and you will end up drowned, *IF* you don't blow up before... _"Other pilots have tried to make water landings before"_ ...with Boeings. -.-
You know, blessed is this mans quick experienced thinking abilities. I have fear of flying and have only done it once. With Sully being my pilot, I think it's safe to say I'll be in safe hands. I'll go fly if he's my pilot.
That “unable” always gives me chills. My father is a pilot and I was still a kid when this happened but I remember him watching this on TV, and then frantically googling until he could email (or Facebook or something, don’t remember) the guy because he felt he had to personally tell him how incredible his piloting skills were and how admirable it was he walked that whole thing twice before letting rescuers take him. (I’m fairly sure they spoke briefly, like ten years ago, which is kinda cool, I should ask him. My father super rarely is that excited or inspired about anything or anyone so it really stood out to me. We both have Asperger’s, btw, incase you’re thinking that sounds weird, yeah we’ve got interesting brains lol. His special interests are airplanes and space. Mine are very much not. Conversation was difficult growing up.) That’s the part that always gets me the most, that after an emergency of that caliber, and I’m sure while overflowing with adrenaline, he walked up and down that aisle _twice_ checking every single seat. I remember my father saying something like “see kid, when was 17 getting my license I thought pilots were just supposed to fly the plane, and we are, but that’s secondary to getting everyone to their destination safely. That’s the top priority. That man is a pilot.” Yet I was still pretty annoyed by him always talking about airplanes and airplane engines and airplane upgrades and WWII planes, etc., etc., etc. Thought it was dumb, hated he didn’t want to talk about much else. And here I am 13 years later with a pilot-themed tattoo for him, happily watching a bunch of airplane documentaries on my own time, lmao
Beautiful story, thanks for sharing. You're lucky you have your dad, I lost my dad seven years back and it still hurts me. He was my best friend! Always spend time with your loved ones. This incident .makes me proud, everyone acted so professionally and helped without any hesitation. Hats off to such fine individuals. Remarkable feat the likes which we may never see again in our lifetime.
Under the federal law of US, CVR recordings can’t be made public. Only a portion of the transcripts and recordings will be made during public hearing. www.ntsb.gov/news/Pages/cvr_fdr.aspx
On the documentary they play a lot of the cockpit recordings and the rest of it is the overvoice explaining what the pilot and copilot were doing. The copilot, who didn't get as much recognition for his actions did an amazing job, he was going through the checklist trying to restore power to the engines (or at least one to give them enough power to maintain altitude to get to a runway). Other pilots reflecting on his actions were shocked that he made it through the checklist as fast as he did, he was only 2-3 steps away from securing the plane (closing the cabin air valves)for a ditching (water landing). He obviously didn't get to that point, that's why the plane immediately began to sink. If he'd had 2 more minutes before touchdown the plane wouldn't have flooded. The Airbus is designed to not sink if still intact and Cabin Air Valves are closed.
Well not as good, Sully was amazing in dealing with the situation, because remember he was one of the ones in danger too, but he didn't let the adrenaline get to him, he dealt with the situation not just professionally, but with inhuman levels of calm and mental preparedness for what was a very sudden freak accident. Not many people can manage that. The air traffic controller was every bit as important in saving all those people as Sully though.
Yeah, every single person was like "is this really happening?" and froze up. Wasn't until the flight attendants started yelling "brace, brace, brace! Heads down, stay down!" that everyone snapped out of it. I would have been the same.
I love how people start speaking like they're talking to a toddler when it's an emergency. (The last audio.) Super clear, super enunciated, super intense. It's the, "You understand? I'm not going to say it again," "toddler tone". It just cuts through somehow. I love how we instinctively understand the "not messing around" tone. It's endearing, really, and incredibly important. Very special when people pull together in these critical moments. Glad there was such a great outcome for this incident! Great teamwork! 👏🙏💫
Ike, if you were driving down the interstate, your engine blew, your tires melted and the roadway collapsed beneath you and you still managed to stop your car and not hit anyone else, you WOULD be responsible for saving the lives of everyone in your car..... not that I imagine for a minute you could think that fast.
Every single one of the men involved had ice water flowing through their veins. Not one of them panicked. Its almost like they were ordering ice cream.
I know! I think they are all vigorously and repeatedly trained to remain calm. I also think that they all know what can happen without having to say it. Plus, it would be a waste of precious time to panic. Personally, I would have lost my shit, figuratively and literally.....
ATC was a star. So damn professional and calm. Especially how he kept working even after the plane was down. Just like that kinda stuff happens once a week and always on his shift. When you've depended on a person on the other end of a radio you really come to respect the good ones. He did an amazing job.
Captain Sully, balls of steel and professionalism like no other. LaGuardia Tower OWNING his post! Giving recommendations, clearing runways for miles, and then commanding rescue crew direction. Both individuals showcasing what skill, experience, and leadership look like. Unreal.
what amazes me is the level of cooperation and professional competency that was achieved by everybody involved under such stressful circumstances. From the air traffic controller to the emergency response teams to the flight crew itself, thee was no panic or rushed thinking- just careful execution. We really passed the test on this one
Unbelievable and still to this day - what an incredible story and outcome. Sully is not the only hero - but the controller and everyone involved on the communications and response were prompt and diligent and calm - - and no human casualties in the end - incredible example of competent / flawless execution - - they're all heros - - thank you for your service and support.
@@Syclone0044 The fuel of a plane is stored in its wings, kerosin is a lot less dense than water and would therefor provide buoyancy that would keep the plane afloat. At least for a little time that was thankfully enough to get everybody out of the plane.
Sully is a hero. No one was injured and he knew what he could and couldn’t do in that situation and said no matter what they were going into the Hudson.
it's amazing what they've all achieved, hats off, every single piece of the story is unforgetable and i totally love how calm and composed the controller stays during handling the emergency and after it's clear the plane crashed
@@I....l....I yes but the a320 has a glide ratio of around 17, and that’s at cruising speed. They literally just took off, were facing upward, heading into the wind, and were going way too slow to be stable beyond the pilots experience and know-how.
The engines didn't explode. They had multiple failures due to bird strike into the turbine. All planes are always dropping out of the sky and quickly every single day. You can still glide for quite a while and he could have made LaGuardia if the stars aligned without incident. However, he deemed it too risky and he was likely correct.
Every time I come back to listen to this again it gives me chills. Sully is definitely the pilot you hope you have in any kind of urgent situation. God bless all pilots for the crap they deal with all the time and for being brave enough to take on that responsibility! 👏
So many people give credit to the ferries that showed up, but not enough credit is given to the people behind the wheels of those who could get there so quickly and be so agile in maneuvering close together. That's massive skill right there.
Hats off to the controller, and all controllers! Sully was awesome, and had 155 souls on his shoulders, the controller had those 155 PLUS all the souls on other aircraft on his shoulders! Incredible work in the face of such danger...
Can't believe how calm he is. Really puts things into perspective in regards to everyday problems we all face and we immediately lose our shit, panic and become flustered over the slightest thing.
ATC: "What do you need to land?" Sully: "A river, a tough airplane, and a bunch of ferries close-by and a helicopter with divers to get all the passengers off the wings, slides and rafts and out of the almost freezing water." And so it happened.
Amazing air traffic controller. I listed to his emotional explanation of the event and hope he realises how admired he is by people like me for his bravery.
The composure these people displayed is absolutely amazing. From the short, to-the-point responses and conversations of Captain Sullenberger and his First Officer Skiles to the absolutely incredible multitasking and fast response of the Air Traffic Controller Patrick Harten, together with the rest of the crew, the responses of emergency teams and compliance and calmness of the passengers, these people managed to save over 150 lives in what was likely to be a disaster. It is clear all of these people knew their jobs, and knew them well. Even though FO Skiles was "fresh out of the Academy", so to speak, he communicated with CPT. Sullenberger flawlessly and efficiently. They established their roles immediately after the collision (the callouts of Sullenberger's "My Aircraft", to Skiles's response "Your Aircraft") and worked in tandem to prevent what, at the time, seemed like a surefire catastrophe. The skill, teamwork and composure of all those involved is awe-inspiring. It just shows what we, as a people, are truly capable of.
All std but they did it by the book. One reason the cockpit transmissions are short is the fact they they are running checklists in the cockpit the whole time. The "I've got it" is normal for the Capt to take over in an emergency.
At 1:28 there are SEVEN ferries at the scene, plus three other smaller boats, two of which appear to be RIBs. Plus a helicopter. A wonderful, quick response from all involved. Just amazing !
I'm not from the US but I have to applaud and admire the nerves of steel the ATC, the crew of US Airways 1549 and the first responders that day. They all did their job like true professionals and saved everybody on the aircraft. My hat's off for every single one of the people involved that day.
To this day nobody can explain how Sully did it. A successful landing was tried many times in a simulator but could not be duplicated. That's why it was called a miracle, because it was.
Sully may have the skills to land a crippled plane into the Hudson river, i find it doubtful that he had the skills to run a country. That being said, Trump doesnt have the skills the run a country either. Given the choice id vote for hypothetical President Sully.
Hmmm yeah, you need to be able to be vindictive at times and be a strategic negotiator. A great and morale guy doesn't necessarily have that unfortunately.
I know that he isn't likely interested in jumping feet first into politics. My comment was tongue in cheek: his voice is authoritative, calm and one I'd like to hear speaking from The Rose Garden. And sure, I'd love to have someone run for Pres who has an incredibly impressive pedigree in so many ways. The greatest skill of a leader is to stay calm under incredible pressure, especially when you have many people looking to you for their survival. Sully has that trait in spades.
How beautiful to see people coming together to help out in the situation. All those boats aren't emergency services but react immediatley to get the people to safety! Brings a tear to my eye :)
Landing in the Hudson was am amazing feat. But I'll never understand how the plane didn't sink immediately from the weight of the massive balls of steel Capt. Sully had.

The way everybody comes together for a joint effort brings tears to my eyes.
Me too, love it, the best of humanity
Same.
Always a good idea to come together for a joint after a job well done.
They legally need to
@@iain075yeah I hope you figured out by now. Just like most places with car crashes. You gotta help by law. A plane, you have no choice in any state. Car crashes I think you don't have to stop at 10 states idk
I absolutely love how many ferries are around. They showed up to help asap and it makes me so happy to know it was so important for them to help and save lives.
Its no surprise those trollies are taking credit for another national tragedy.
NYC strong 💪 we come together!
"I'd do it in July"
lol i saw that in the movie
dat movie was really good, Eastwood strikes again
:D
Myra D Marquez what it mean ?
hossam salem in the film, they ask sullys friend what they'd do differently and they said they'd do it in July because it'd be warmer 😂
The guy was very professional.
he'd have to be
A legend
Philly Sports! It was an accusation that was debunked
@ Yeah and he flew the plane upside down
@ Absolutely not true. No alcohol in his system at all, same with the first officer. It was the huge flock of geese that destroyed both engines, the officers were found innocent of any crimes. No drugs either in case you are wondering.
The best part about this whole situation is that, unbidden, everyone from the Ferry to the tugboats immediately came to help the passengers so they wouldn't freeze to death in the river. I'm quite proud to be a New Yorker.
Oh so your a NEW YOKAA
I notice this in big cities they might not all chat to one another on the train but they always step up quietly to help. In London we have had ppl risk their lives in knife attacks and on tube someone will always offer to carry the pram or suitcase etc
My nephew was on that plane. You New Yorkers played a huge roll in saving his life. My whole family is grateful to all of you.
I watched the movie “Sully” about this event and it made me cry. The calmness and skill of the captain and his crew, the work off the controller, the rescue boats, firemen, divers and all the people on the plane. It’s a god damn miracle! Everyone worked together! If panic would have taken over a lot of life’s would have been lost. I’m a nurse, and in emergencies we work together as a team, if everyone is doing what they are trained for, miracles happen. It’s a feeling I just can’t explain. Got deeply touched by the movie.
I'd really like to shake the hand of that air traffic controller. I know there were many heroes that day, including Captain Sully, but I think that air traffic controller is to be commended for keeping his cool and thinking on his feet. He is why the response time was so fast.
His name is patrick harten, he did so well under pressure
Ha, thanks +Lizzy Johnson - now i saw an interview with him and it feels good.
Yeah. He kinda fell short in the movie. In the movie, it's like the entire ATC staff is just not doing anything, dispite being told that he is going down in the Hudson. It's not until the Captain of a Boat allerts authorities that they dispatch a helicopter. I guess it is more dramatic this way.
great job from an old navy atc
He called him an idiot.
“We’re gonna be in the Hudson”. Absolute chills man....
I feel Tom Hanks messed that line up
whats the timestamp when they say that
@@justinnegron8445 2:43
The ATC was horrified when he heard those words, because the expected outcome from trying to land that type of plane on a river would be that the plane would break apart and a lot of people would die. Had Capt. Sullenberger been any less skillful or the weather conditions worse, this would have been a tragedy. In fact, the ATC thought the worst for a while until he heard that the plane was in one piece and all souls on board were being rescued.
Well, it was January...
"We're gonna be in the Hudson."
"Hudson? Where's that airport?"
True story: thirty-five years ago my husband was on a Cessna with his pilot friend and their engine conked out and the pilot couldn't restart it. They made an emergency landing in a cornfield. They had to hike to a farmhouse to call for help, then get a ride to an airport to get a flight back home. Later that night in bed, just before we fell asleep, I idly asked, "So where did you guys land when you were out today?" He named a small town in the middle of nowhere, and I said, "I didn't know they had an airport there." He said, "They don't."
@@lisalu910 he didn’t tell you his plane fucking crashed 😭😭 he just came home like it was a normal day at work?
@@fart63 Yes! Just like that!
@@fart63 bhahaha
More like a seaport
Not nearly as recognized, but that controller was as much a hero that day as Sully and crew.
I'd fly with that pilot anytime.
You from the C.I.A.?
BULLSHIT! He'd fly with YOU!
No homo
I’d crash with him anytime, if I had to
Would you fly with him on this date? You’d poop your pants
Emergency responder asks: "what airline is that?"
I'd tell him "It's the only plane floating down the Hudsen."
LOL good point....how many other airliners are in the Hudson now? LOL
Right?! I was wondering the same thing. Tower was very specific what flight number it was too. Not sure if the responder normally tracks all flights and was making record, or if neither knew what else to say. lol
I thought that was a little goofy. Like bro, its gonna be a big airbus floating or sinking in the Hudson by the tunnel. Now go start the van and get moving lol
U.S. Airways, floating right next to that Delta plane that ditched a few minutes ago.
lol i was wondering how important saying near the Lincoln even is... unless the plane sinks instantly your not gonna miss that from the vantage point of a helicopter lol
Can’t imagine seeing low-flying aircraft in NYC after 9/11
I thought the same
"Which engine did you lose?"
Yes.
Obviously, the pilots did an amazing job but the controller does GREAT as well - very calm and staying completely on top of the situation.
Exactly. When I hear his voice in these recordings I am just amazed how professional the guy is.
My compliments for the controller and the captain.
Pieter Cronen the movie is awesome
Did Patrick Harten ever get recognition for his assistance? I know it's his job as a ATC but honestly, everything went right for Cactus 1549. Not only did the pilots do their jobs with the greatest expertise but Patrick did his exceptionally well & went well over his job to help this flight. This is why everyone survived as even the ferry operators & scuba cops as Sully has stated ALL did their jobs. Those passengers got a second chance at life thanks to everybody. Also when u think about it, the plane itself cooperated perfectly even though Sully knew what he was trying to do. It could have broke apart or sank or exploded, anything was likely BUT it went remarkably well. I never get sick of this story knowing it ended well even though it has been 11 years.
Yeah, many factors like clear weather, calm atmosphere with no winds, and so many others helped it. Captain Sully and crew, ATC, ferrymen and so on , all acted professionally to help it through. Also, kudos to the passengers for not creating any drama resulting in panic. Quite an extraordinary feat, maybe never repeated again in our lifetime. Scenes like this make us proud to be a human, where coordination and cooperation are on the money.
Yes, he was recognized. He received an award from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, and he was interviewed for the _Mayday_ episode depicting this incident.
Don't forget the crew. You can hear them yelling stay down heads down in the background after Sully said brace for impact. It's because of them that everybody got out of the plane so fast.
@@XiaoP76 I remember that the woman flight attendant in the rear section of the plane got a pretty serious leg injury when the plane hit the water (those in the rear got the worst of the impact), but she still managed to keep doing her job.
Guys, HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
This was a perfect example of how well-trained individuals (in the cockpit, in Air Traffic Control and in rescue resources) all remained calm and professional (just as they were trained to do). That training and cool-headedness is why this story has a good ending.

This is still so amazing. Everyone did their job well that day, but especially the pilot. He is definitely a hero, no one could ever doubt that. He had ONE chance to make that landing, and he had to do it just right. Other pilots have tried to make water landings before, and if you don't do it right, the plane will break apart and probably kill everyone on board. But Captain Sullenberger managed to do it and EVERYONE survived. How often do you hear that? A plane loses all its engine power but the pilot still gets the plane down in one piece and everyone survives?! This guy has to be the best pilot in the world. I really hope he trained other pilots before he retired!
_"This guy has to be the best pilot in the world"_
No. Every pilot is trained for this situation. The credit here goes to the Airbus engineers. Try to do that with a Boeing and you will end up drowned, *IF* you don't blow up before...
_"Other pilots have tried to make water landings before"_
...with Boeings. -.-

You know, blessed is this mans quick experienced thinking abilities. I have fear of flying and have only done it once. With Sully being my pilot, I think it's safe to say I'll be in safe hands. I'll go fly if he's my pilot.
So amazing. The perfect pilot to save the passenger’s lives. He is a hero.
That “unable” always gives me chills.
My father is a pilot and I was still a kid when this happened but I remember him watching this on TV, and then frantically googling until he could email (or Facebook or something, don’t remember) the guy because he felt he had to personally tell him how incredible his piloting skills were and how admirable it was he walked that whole thing twice before letting rescuers take him. (I’m fairly sure they spoke briefly, like ten years ago, which is kinda cool, I should ask him. My father super rarely is that excited or inspired about anything or anyone so it really stood out to me. We both have Asperger’s, btw, incase you’re thinking that sounds weird, yeah we’ve got interesting brains lol. His special interests are airplanes and space. Mine are very much not. Conversation was difficult growing up.)
That’s the part that always gets me the most, that after an emergency of that caliber, and I’m sure while overflowing with adrenaline, he walked up and down that aisle _twice_ checking every single seat. I remember my father saying something like “see kid, when was 17 getting my license I thought pilots were just supposed to fly the plane, and we are, but that’s secondary to getting everyone to their destination safely. That’s the top priority. That man is a pilot.”
Yet I was still pretty annoyed by him always talking about airplanes and airplane engines and airplane upgrades and WWII planes, etc., etc., etc. Thought it was dumb, hated he didn’t want to talk about much else. And here I am 13 years later with a pilot-themed tattoo for him, happily watching a bunch of airplane documentaries on my own time, lmao
That's special, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story 😍
Beautiful story, thanks for sharing. You're lucky you have your dad, I lost my dad seven years back and it still hurts me. He was my best friend! Always spend time with your loved ones.
This incident .makes me proud, everyone acted so professionally and helped without any hesitation. Hats off to such fine individuals. Remarkable feat the likes which we may never see again in our lifetime.
it's not cockpit audio tapes, but ATC (Air traffic control) tapes.
I'd like to hear real cockpit tapes!!!
Eileen LeValley
saw it already ;) and heard real cockpit tapes on TH-cam

*thud*
"Sully"
"What is it?"
"I think we uhh, hit a bird."
"What makes you say that?"
*LOUDER THUD*
"Oh... oh shit"
On the documentary they play a lot of the cockpit recordings and the rest of it is the overvoice explaining what the pilot and copilot were doing. The copilot, who didn't get as much recognition for his actions did an amazing job, he was going through the checklist trying to restore power to the engines (or at least one to give them enough power to maintain altitude to get to a runway). Other pilots reflecting on his actions were shocked that he made it through the checklist as fast as he did, he was only 2-3 steps away from securing the plane (closing the cabin air valves)for a ditching (water landing). He obviously didn't get to that point, that's why the plane immediately began to sink. If he'd had 2 more minutes before touchdown the plane wouldn't have flooded. The Airbus is designed to not sink if still intact and Cabin Air Valves are closed.
That air traffic controller was equally as good as sully
Well not as good, Sully was amazing in dealing with the situation, because remember he was one of the ones in danger too, but he didn't let the adrenaline get to him, he dealt with the situation not just professionally, but with inhuman levels of calm and mental preparedness for what was a very sudden freak accident. Not many people can manage that. The air traffic controller was every bit as important in saving all those people as Sully though.
In the movie when he says "Brace for impact" and the look of 'holy shit' on everybody's face. Powerful moment.
Yeah, every single person was like "is this really happening?" and froze up. Wasn't until the flight attendants started yelling "brace, brace, brace! Heads down, stay down!" that everyone snapped out of it. I would have been the same.
had it been any other pilot, any other cabin crew, I dont think it would be called "The Miracle on the Hudson"
@@AnikaJarlsdottr right? They were so lucky to have such an experienced pilot that day!!
I love how people start speaking like they're talking to a toddler when it's an emergency. (The last audio.) Super clear, super enunciated, super intense. It's the, "You understand? I'm not going to say it again," "toddler tone". It just cuts through somehow. I love how we instinctively understand the "not messing around" tone. It's endearing, really, and incredibly important. Very special when people pull together in these critical moments. Glad there was such a great outcome for this incident! Great teamwork! 👏🙏💫
Incredible! In one lifetime only few people get a chance to save someone's life. And this Pilot saved 155 lives all together!
Yeah, definitely! He is a real life hero. He is retired now, but I hope he trained other pilots. This guy would be the best flight instructor ever!
how did you not
Ike, if you were driving down the interstate, your engine blew, your tires melted and the roadway collapsed beneath you and you still managed to stop your car and not hit anyone else, you WOULD be responsible for saving the lives of everyone in your car..... not that I imagine for a minute you could think that fast.
They should redesign the planes that it can land safely in rivers, oceans when this shit happens
@@catmario9947
Would be a waste of money since this doesn't happen all that often. Besides if a plane lands in the ocean its lost anyway.
my god that captain was calm as fuck!!! impressive! I can not believe I didn not know this story before the movie I'm embarrassed...
I knew it in 2015, days before going to New York with US Airways xD
you have to be some people cant hold it in/
MMaya where have u been???
awesome movie i must say ....its amazing im ashamed i didnt realize it was based on a true story
Remy Martin Not everyone's American.
Every single one of the men involved had ice water flowing through their veins. Not one of them panicked. Its almost like they were ordering ice cream.
I know! I think they are all vigorously and repeatedly trained to remain calm. I also think that they all know what can happen without having to say it. Plus, it would be a waste of precious time to panic. Personally, I would have lost my shit, figuratively and literally.....
Not all heroes wear capes
Captain: "Nice view of the Hudson"
Birds: "Want a closer look?"
P.S: But on a serious note, Job well done guys.

@@UndoingRuin08 Still breathing, Mike, so it's not all bad ;-)
Am I the only one who got emotional watching this?
Indeed
gets me every time
Ho watch Sully... It's the exact same landing
I had a little anxiety attack during the film.
me too. im better to now know i am not alone
Sully, at that height, such calmness and the absolute correct decision that you made saved so many lives. Always a hero in our hearts.
The Traffic Controller is an Unsung Hero as well. He's one of the savior...
ATC was a star. So damn professional and calm. Especially how he kept working even after the plane was down. Just like that kinda stuff happens once a week and always on his shift. When you've depended on a person on the other end of a radio you really come to respect the good ones. He did an amazing job.
This is the definition of "like a boss"
yea
Not like a boss. He is daaaa boss.
12yrs later...... its still incredible.
Captain Sully, balls of steel and professionalism like no other. LaGuardia Tower OWNING his post! Giving recommendations, clearing runways for miles, and then commanding rescue crew direction. Both individuals showcasing what skill, experience, and leadership look like. Unreal.
This pilot was a trained veteran in the US air force. do actually the pilot is good. no matter what plane.
people from the air force tend to have happy endings yes.
what amazes me is the level of cooperation and professional competency that was achieved by everybody involved under such stressful circumstances. From the air traffic controller to the emergency response teams to the flight crew itself, thee was no panic or rushed thinking- just careful execution. We really passed the test on this one
My goodness! Even in 2022, this story gives me chills. So many lives saved by so many hero’s. ❤️🙌🙌
More than 10 years passing and it's still impressive.
Unbelievable and still to this day - what an incredible story and outcome. Sully is not the only hero - but the controller and everyone involved on the communications and response were prompt and diligent and calm - - and no human casualties in the end - incredible example of competent / flawless execution - - they're all heros - - thank you for your service and support.
the air traffic controller play a big role in this survival....

I love how the plane was like I'll fully sink once everyone is safe.
FAWAMA co I always wondered this. Is the Hudson River very shallow or something? I’ve never seen any images of the plane any less sunk
@@Syclone0044 it submerged quickly as the last people were taken off the wings
@@Syclone0044 The fuel of a plane is stored in its wings, kerosin is a lot less dense than water and would therefor provide buoyancy that would keep the plane afloat. At least for a little time that was thankfully enough to get everybody out of the plane.
11years later I get this recommended
Same here lol. Just got this recommended today
Sully is a hero. No one was injured and he knew what he could and couldn’t do in that situation and said no matter what they were going into the Hudson.
it's amazing what they've all achieved, hats off, every single piece of the story is unforgetable and i totally love how calm and composed the controller stays during handling the emergency and after it's clear the plane crashed
Keep in mind his engines just exploded and he's dropping out of the sky quickly, when he replies with that calm voice
he was more like gliding, he still had some control of the plane
@@I....l....I yes but the a320 has a glide ratio of around 17, and that’s at cruising speed. They literally just took off, were facing upward, heading into the wind, and were going way too slow to be stable beyond the pilots experience and know-how.
@@I....l....I yh
#gangstah!!! Seriously, great job all around!! Kudos!!!
The engines didn't explode. They had multiple failures due to bird strike into the turbine. All planes are always dropping out of the sky and quickly every single day. You can still glide for quite a while and he could have made LaGuardia if the stars aligned without incident. However, he deemed it too risky and he was likely correct.
“Cactus 1529, there is no runway in Hudson. Over.” Capt Sully: not a problem.
Every time I come back to listen to this again it gives me chills. Sully is definitely the pilot you hope you have in any kind of urgent situation. God bless all pilots for the crap they deal with all the time and for being brave enough to take on that responsibility! 👏
The amount of professionalism in these tapes in incredible. Everyone stayed calm and did their jobs. Absolutely astounding.
So professional! So calm! So self organized you can tell when someone was born to do this!!! Those people were very lucky to have him in control!
So many people give credit to the ferries that showed up, but not enough credit is given to the people behind the wheels of those who could get there so quickly and be so agile in maneuvering close together. That's massive skill right there.
It's amazing how calm Sully was when he said "We're going to be in the Hudson"
Hats off to the controller, and all controllers! Sully was awesome, and had 155 souls on his shoulders, the controller had those 155 PLUS all the souls on other aircraft on his shoulders! Incredible work in the face of such danger...
Can't believe how calm he is. Really puts things into perspective in regards to everyday problems we all face and we immediately lose our shit, panic and become flustered over the slightest thing.
ATC: "What do you need to land?"
Sully: "A river, a tough airplane, and a bunch of ferries close-by and a helicopter with divers to get all the passengers off the wings, slides and rafts and out of the almost freezing water."
And so it happened.
damn, that ATC might be the calmest guy ever I've heard
Amazing air traffic controller. I listed to his emotional explanation of the event and hope he realises how admired he is by people like me for his bravery.
The composure these people displayed is absolutely amazing. From the short, to-the-point responses and conversations of Captain Sullenberger and his First Officer Skiles to the absolutely incredible multitasking and fast response of the Air Traffic Controller Patrick Harten, together with the rest of the crew, the responses of emergency teams and compliance and calmness of the passengers, these people managed to save over 150 lives in what was likely to be a disaster.
It is clear all of these people knew their jobs, and knew them well. Even though FO Skiles was "fresh out of the Academy", so to speak, he communicated with CPT. Sullenberger flawlessly and efficiently. They established their roles immediately after the collision (the callouts of Sullenberger's "My Aircraft", to Skiles's response "Your Aircraft") and worked in tandem to prevent what, at the time, seemed like a surefire catastrophe.
The skill, teamwork and composure of all those involved is awe-inspiring. It just shows what we, as a people, are truly capable of.
All std but they did it by the book. One reason the cockpit transmissions are short is the fact they they are running checklists in the cockpit the whole time.
The "I've got it" is normal for the Capt to take over in an emergency.
Hats off to all of the ferries and boats who didn't wait for an emergency to be declared and just went to save those people.
That controller took charge when there was no contact with the plane. Get a police helicopter. Get port authority. Right now. Damn!!!
At 1:28 there are SEVEN ferries at the scene, plus three other smaller boats, two of which appear to be RIBs. Plus a helicopter. A wonderful, quick response from all involved. Just amazing !
I like how the movie didn't change anything with the dialog. The lines in the movie are word for word.
I'm not from the US but I have to applaud and admire the nerves of steel the ATC, the crew of US Airways 1549 and the first responders that day.
They all did their job like true professionals and saved everybody on the aircraft.
My hat's off for every single one of the people involved that day.
Canada?
I have full appreciation for both the pilot, co-pilot and air traffic controller. Amazing story.
I think what makes it more scary is Captain Sully's chill and calm voice, and dead cold. Salute captain!!!
AGENT47ist why can’t trump be calm like that he loses his shit over the little things
Both pilots were amazing as were the staff, attendants and passengers. Team work saved the day, led of course by Sully *love*
The calmness in the voice of the pilot is the most compelling piece here.
To this day nobody can explain how Sully did it. A successful landing was tried many times in a simulator but could not be duplicated. That's why it was called a miracle, because it was.
Sully has the perfect pilot voice. Perhaps it'd be a great presidential voice. Hmm.
I'd vote for him. Heck yeah.
Sully may have the skills to land a crippled plane into the Hudson river, i find it doubtful that he had the skills to run a country. That being said, Trump doesnt have the skills the run a country either. Given the choice id vote for hypothetical President Sully.
Hmmm yeah, you need to be able to be vindictive at times and be a strategic negotiator. A great and morale guy doesn't necessarily have that unfortunately.
I know that he isn't likely interested in jumping feet first into politics. My comment was tongue in cheek: his voice is authoritative, calm and one I'd like to hear speaking from The Rose Garden. And sure, I'd love to have someone run for Pres who has an incredibly impressive pedigree in so many ways. The greatest skill of a leader is to stay calm under incredible pressure, especially when you have many people looking to you for their survival. Sully has that trait in spades.
#SullyForPresident
How beautiful to see people coming together to help out in the situation. All those boats aren't emergency services but react immediatley to get the people to safety! Brings a tear to my eye :)
This is what you call a trained pilot!
The way he dealt with the situation and I mean of course the landing its self!
I'm shaking
Never in my life have I ever witnessed that much professionalism.
Obviously you've never seen an airforceproud95 video...
Just kidding, no professionalism there. 🤣
This still blows me away, so many years later
Just incredible how calm and collective both Sully & Controler were during the entire thing.
much respect to those boat and ship captains, maneuvering and holding those boats that close, safely
That flight controller is a boss....
Imagine being an air traffic controller. I was stressed out just listening to this.
What I'll keep respecting these pilots and air traffic controllers for is their unbelievable calmness and swift thinking💛👌🏽
I have no idea why this was recommended, but that's my uncle's boat on the left side of the plane 😊
