I am glad they have preserved this plane. It and it's pilot definitely made history
Captain Sullenberger 🫡🔝🥹🛩️ massive respect
its*
Both pilot's should be respected for such a wonderful job controlling the situation and the flight crew that was so helpful also evacuating the plane.
Planes are built shittier than Stockton Rush's submarine and this plane proves it. Yet everyone won't get in the sub but they'll fly everyday
I thought for sure they had scrapped this plane as most airlines do after crashes but, I'm happy they kept it and are displaying it. It truly is a reminder of the dedication and highest level of a pilot and crews determination to make sure their passengers make it home to their loved ones and a tribute to them. Awesome. Just awesome.
FOUR MINUTES from bird strike to touching down in the Hudson! Everyone made it out. Sully was last to leave as he sloshed through the rising waters to assure nobody was left behind. We salute you, Captain.
It is amazing how you described the event. You should write a book. Who knows maybe your book will be used for a movie about the flight.
It doesn't seem like it's been that long ago is having 15 years ago. It seems like it happened yesterday. Man time really goes fast😮
Pretty cool that she eventually made it to Charlotte…
I'm glad it's being saved like it is..
Just to clarify, it was previously on display in Charlotte for many years. I saw it back in like 2011.
So did I in 2014!
I was on board that day was a smooth water landing
As an aside, the reconstructed TWA 800 747 was around until 2021 as a training aid with the NTSB. It was supposed to go out for scrapping, but these things are kept around for quite a bit sometimes.
NOT A MISSILE
@@rickc303 Propaganda training aid
I wish I could visit the museum I'm still fascinated on the miracle on the Hudson .
the capin deserves all that fame and more. he did an excellent job that day... i salute sully.... i really do...
The entire crew and rescuers deserve that fame and Sully himself would vouch for that
He was the CAPTAIN you twit
I saw 👀 this aircraft at Carolina Aviation Museum several years ago!
I'm sure Capt. Sully was and is very proud of his professional performance that day... but the notoriety has to be somewhat overwhelming and life changing...
When I met Sully a few weeks back we never once mentioned the Hudson River crash. We talked about the Cubs and who they might sign from the free agent market. There were lots of people around us and no one seemed to have a clue who he was. So much for notoriety.
I remember this story like it’s yesterday.
What a sight to see,......oh, and the plane, too.
The difference between Canada and America. The AVRO Arrow was cancelled and all
of its production was scrapped. The Gimli Glider (know that story?) came up for auction
and no one stepped up to claim it. So it got sold off for scrap metal. SHAME on Canada!
Piche's a320 azores glider still parked outside at transat montreal for years
I flew that plane....
Miss US Airways
Right so basically...you took it out of storage, moved it to a new hangar, reassembled and cleaned it. You could have just said that rather than making 3:23 minutes feel like a lifetime 🤣
Definitely a place tu visit ✈️ in my list
Are the seats still inside?
Its basically a plane with an incredible story, but just still an average plane
So, who was the FO that was actually flying the plane at the time?
Yeah no one remembers the FO.
@@jamesranker6275 Jeffrey Skiles
Sully landed the plane like a boss without a doubt, however he was assisted by the overshadowed and often forgotten FO Jeffery Skiles.
I wonder about the fixation on high-visibilty jackets. The presenters are standing in a hangar next to a ghostly aircraft, not in the middle of a freeway at midnight. The only PPE missing were hard hats, gloves, steel-capped shoes and safety glasses.
I thought Captain Sullenberger was an incredibly humble unassuming gentleman. If so why has he allowed this museum to be named after him?
They best not repair the damage!
Piolot and plane both hero's !!!

@@JustARandomBlueE2T never heard of it.
@@JustARandomBlueE2T ok I remember that.
But it didn’t have engines out
@@PInk77W1 oh, makes sense, but what about British Airways Flight 38?
@@JustARandomBlueE2T did they land ?
Is that rhe 777 ? Or the 747 that re gained power
Airbus 💪🏻 🔝
This was not a "miracle"--just some great piloting
The brilliant Airbus saved all those passengers and crew. The flight crew did a good job. But Sully would have crashed the aircraft. The Airbus auto flight system took over from the pilot in order to carry out a perfect landing on water. In fact if the crew had carried out the full ditching procedure, no water would have entered the cabin at all. Sad to say it was the American pilots organisation that stopped Sully from praising the Airbus. Sad boeing lot.
True, it was no miracle , it was a ditching. Any Airbus pilot should be able to land on this flat water
WTF are u talking about? The landing was 10000% manually hand flown all the way down into the water. There was NO autopilot whatsoever active during the approach and touch down. you know nothing about aviation lawl fail af. @@MySkyranger
@@sundar999
It was a miracle. Airbus sent video of what to do and how to land at an airport instead on simulators. Sully proved they were wrong.
@@PInk77W1 Can you explain how it was a miracle? They just performed a ditching maneuver which they were trained to do. And circumstances were extremely good with calm water, daylight, and rescue sevice near by
Wondered what Cher was up to now. Not sure blonde suits her though.
NAH!! americans will move that plane to the SULLY THEME PARK, where it rests in a large pool of water, where paying customers can enter the plane, sit in the seats, and experience a captain and crew relive the experience, complete with video screens, airplane yokes and rudder pedals for EACH client, and the door closes and the plane (with suitable sound effects) raises its nose to take off, couple minutes later, loud squawking/honking is heard, then feathers fly out the back of each engine on its wings, and the planes nose then points downward, the seats jolt the clients with the simulated river impact, and water is splashed on the planes windows, with lifejackets falling from the overhead bins, and the captain yelling EVACUATE EVACUATE!! the clients don the lifejackets and trample each other getting out the door, with the PA system saying gently "Thank You for Flying Sully Airlines! please discard your lifejackets at the end of the pool walkway in the bins. "
Teams pilot those you know?
Should bring to to the queen Mary and place in the dome where spruce goose was stored beside the queen
Are you CrAzY?! The city of Long Beach can't even take proper care of the QUEEN MARY! They already destroyed ALL but 3 of the lifeboats! They only gave museums (and private collectors) 1 mo. to come and get the $FREE boats! Unfortunately, paperwork takes time - longer than a month, so the City of Long Beach decided to crush them down, and throw them into dumpsters!
That said - would you REALLY trust Long Beach with a historical plane?
I wish they could restore this plane ✈️ and make it fly again
It would be just another airplane -
US Airways no longer exists.
Plus with it already 15 years old, the only thing that would most likely happen would be scrapping... or sold to India for some of their lower grade lines.
Is it the Hudson hornet?
" Sullys " Plane ! ! !
I’m honored to be the first one to comment on this video. I wish I they would’ve explain more (& shown) how the plane actually got from New York to North Carolina. (I assume by boat?) & then how did they get from the Outer Banks to Charlotte?
They said they disassembled it, but the fuselage is way too big to be driven on the interstate highway system.
Not really much of an honor
never thought someone would use such advanced language to say they were first
@@MaxLai_0104 “advanced” language? What’s a “non-advance” language? (everything that isn’t English?)
Anyway, you guys are focusing on the first sentence (that’s a throwaway sentence just to be silly) The main part of my comment is the remaining 90%
They could've moved it down the interstate. It would be oversize with an escort. The 737 fuselages are hauled on trains from Kansas to Washington for final assembly. SpaceX moves the first stage Falcon 9 rockets from California to Texas all the time on trucks and those things are probably even bigger. I've seen them on the road.
@@bradsteelguy9140 Thanks for that info.
15 Years ÕMĞ
😲😲😲😲😨😨😨
Last time they let Tom Hanks fly a plane.
If it ain't Boeing, I ain't rowing
They should send back to Airbus and let them restore/convert into the Airbus A320NEO and get it back in the air absolutely.
Airbus 🛫🤙🏾
No hate on Sully but deeper into the past a Garuda Indonesia 737 also had to land in a river but it was not near a big city compared to the Hudson but that pilot has little to no recognition
It should have been in NY 😢
Why? It's destination was Charlotte
Notta chance! North Carolina is the "Flight Capitol" of the world! Even says it on the plates -
"First In Flight"
It's only logical for a historical aviation artifact to go to NC.
@@robertaviles8451 'First in Flight' Some Brazilian is gonna argue with you. It never fails.
why charlotte though? such a random place
that was the destination of the plane and where captain sullenberger lived
I just don't wanna sit down pay 4 the tour and have a bunch of toilet guppies gold fish & disgarded little sewer gators come squirmin out from out under our butts...
what's with making this a display?
🙄
A, almost 15 year flight has got to be a story😢😅🎉❤
Why keep it? If I had been a passenger on that flight, I'd never want to see it again.
340 million American residents minus 155 souls still leaves a lot of residents.
They've had reunions on the anniversary of that day at the former Carolinas Air Museum where nearly everyone involved was there. Your sentiment is valid, but the vast majority of those who lived it feel otherwise about the experience they shared that day.
Guys they just got lucky that's all😮
If I would’ve landed in the Atlantic ocean, that would be a miracle in the Hudson, that was easy that was a River i’ve seen videos where pilots of south American Airlines landed a jet in a very small, narrow snake River with everybody walking out this isn’t the only jet in American history that’s ever landed with everybody surviving
Oh please,any pilot worth his salt could of landed in the river.
Seems pointless to preserve a plane that crashed because of a bird strike.
seems pointless for morons to comment online
It's idolatry to be praising something over the most high, God spared every single one of those gentiles lives.
Very odd they are saving this plane but its their money so more power to them
What a perfectly pointless waste of space
I'd rather they saved a Bobby 737-200.
Old news. It’s been in the museum for several years.
Old News😂
I want to see her 🥺🤩
It was not a ditching it was a water landing...
Its the same scrap metal as any other
My mom’s best friend’s son’s girlfriend’s father’s cellmate’s same sex lover’s wife’s boyfriend’s chiropractor’s stepson’s teacher’s husband’s sister’s coworker almost took that flight.
