Katie Couric speaks with Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger about the final moments before U.S. Airways Flight 1549 made a dramatic landing in N.Y.'s Hudson River.
and the stewards who stayed fearful allowing for a orderly escape,..no engines and heading for the water ..wow just amazing ...the movie 2016 Scully ..was amazing .. and also the david letterman show that followed ..with both pilots and 3 stewards.././.also i Rem at that time we could play a game on the pc internet where you have control of the plane after loosing thrust and you have to land in the river ..
I read his book. He said he felt no guilt regarding all the celebrity he got with interviews, parties, celebrity photo ops, etc, because everyone got off the plane alive. If one person died, he would have refused all offers.
Kyle Mikesell that’s reasonable. He shouldn’t feel any guilt because what transpired was out of his control yet he still managed to make the best possible decision produce the best possible outcome. He knows he’s a hero
He doesn't blink much, yet his eyes are so attentive... His speaking is very calm and focused.. everything about this man is reassuring. He's a real role model, we are lucky to have people like him around!
Nowadays is hard to find someone to admire and it’s clear as water Sully is a perfect role model, I agree with you!!! I wish many kids want to be like him! (He LOVES what he does! That’s why he was able to achieve that high level state of mind)
Holy crap, what an awesome guy. I love how he never says, "Um," or "Uh," or makes any kind of nervous gesture during the interview. He was as cool as a cucumber and hardly even blinked while giving crisp, clean, specific answers to Couric's questions. With experience comes wisdom.
@@nulanula5302 Are you serious? You seriously believe that a man who was able to manage a critical situation in its extent unique and unprecedented in the history of aviation, needs "help" from a teleprompter in an interview in order to be able to describe what exactly happened ? You're kidding...
I love the way Katie Couric keeps trying to coax gushy, mushy, confession-type statements out of him, and he just keeps saying, "No. I had a job to do. I had to concentrate. I knew I could do it."
I was a former recreational pilot and just now watched this interview. Sully was absolutely a fantastic pilot !. Every nuance of his responses to the interviewer's questions were without hesitation, with precision, and without equivocation. The catastrophic water landing in Africa shows the problem. That pilot allowed the left engine to enter the water first causing the breakup of the plane. As Sully realized and stated: the wings had to be PERFECTLY level which he accomplished.
I think the movie is going to be more about what happens after the accident; the trial about what happened and if the captain could have done anything else to have avoided risking lives
I don't think he's trying to be sassy, but he totally comes off that way sometimes, and I love it: "This doesn't happen to me." KC: "What did you mean by that?" CS:: "I meant that I had this expectation that my career wouldn't be one in which I crash an airplane." I died
Imagining how quick he made that emergency landing calculation wether to go back or land the plane on the river just make my brain hurts. He said we're going to the Hudson several times. His calm voice and he knew exactly how to executed the landing. He got ice on his veins. True hero bruh!!!
That fast assessment that other options were infeasible was critical. Requires integrating altitude, speed, drop rate and distances to alternate airports. That came as a gut integration based on decades of aircraft experience.
It was my 2nd year living in Honolulu, as I watched this on live tv. I was immediately thinking it was another 911 tragedy, As I saw how fast strangers moved to help the passengers, I prayed and hoped for the best. To all those who was there, you are all heroes. The miracle is everyone survived. Captain Sully you and your crew, did a outstanding job.
9 minute mark I just started crying. I could not imagine how stressful that must have been for everyone, but everyone worked together even the flight attendants to make sure everyone was safe.
After watching the actual movie and all the real clips on TH-cam, I believe the pilot/co-pilot are the braviest I have ever come across. I have watched 100s of episodes of Air Crash Investigation, not a single surviving pilot had the same level of confidence like Captain Sully, this man deserves the Nobel Prize for Peace, he was peaceful throughout, his bravery and skill saved everyone onboard that plane, it was a happy ending. Captain Sully, I salute you!
Hahaha I loved his answers. Pilots like him for the most part hate aviation journalism because they never get the stories right and they always try to sensationalize the story.
Comes down to it. This is a confident man who completely has his shit together. Completely prepared and trained, everyone on that plane owes their life to it.
I read online that sully observes everywhere he travels to. The land, the Airports, so if there was an emergency, he would have a plan in place. He also said that he knew New York well because he has flown there so many times that he already knew the distances between the local airports and has always thought the river would be a great place for emergency. A man that plans ahead, keeps his wits about him and knows his shit. :)
Simply amazing.... those passengers are so blessed to have this captain in this unfortunate accident. I feel for those whom had tried to land in water but failed.
This Captain gave the word COOL a WHOLE NEW MEANING. I want to place him (& his wing man) inside a small glass C-thru plane (like the kind Wonder Woman flies in) and put it on my bookshelf as a monument of TRUE inspiration.
Poor birds! Still, I am so very, very glad that everyone survived. Captain Sully's handling of the plane was masterful and his judgement incredible. What a decision to have to make and what a beautiful landing he pulled off! Just amazing. At least one aviation mishap without a tragic ending.
That's what an Angel would look like to me..Like Mr. Sully..just look at that face! Kindness ,warmth, compassion at its finest. I swear ,I wish I could meet him, someday...always wanted to. I love to fly, love to travel..airports, airplanes ..all too much fun for me .. 😊👌
I read this guys book. You know Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule? This guy had DOUBLE that. He had 19,600 hours in the sky at that point in his career. He’s also a total airline safety nerd
Wow how this plane landed its like just landing on a regular airplane road.Thank you Mr.Sully for saving all the passengers and your crews and plus Thank you for your service.Thank you CBS for sharing this incredible video or story of what Mr.Sully did.
Since This Happened i Have Not ONCE Heard/Read Anyone Say a Negative Word About Sully....Pretty Astonishing...Even The Social Media Trolls Have Too Much Respect...Sully You are "The Man" Indeed Sir
I still think about this and Sully was so cool and calm which facilitates rational thinking. He was quite the certain fellow and his Air Force training helped definitely.
This man acted so cool, analytical and logical in a horrendous situation with barely enough time to react it's truly almost unbelievable and amazing. Despite his body's likely physiological reaction, he focused completely on the problem and worked it with his co-pilot perfectly to resolution. Plus if the plane was not perfectly level, it would cartwheel and come apart.
What strikes me most about his is how infrequently he blinks....the blinks indicating, to me at least, doubt and insecurity with his decision. This man didn't second guess his decision, the correct decision I might add. He's cyborg-like. I'd fly with him any day and twice on Sunday..
Based on my experiences with people like him, I’d say he’s a sociopath. And that’s not a insult, many believe sociopaths are all evil, and that’s not the case at all. They simply do not experience emotional states - if at all - as neurotypical people do. And i think sully is one of them. Another give away is his infrequent blinking. Sociopaths have to practice to blink normally, their normal non trained blink rate is very low.
A lot of people forget that the co-pilot has literally just finished his training on the aircraft and made a significant contribution to attempting to restart an engine and prepare for ditching.
It's amazing when we look how much the executives, union and government are doing to his profession ! 2 kinds of people, the good ones who saved everybody and the bad ones! Even his hotel breakfast was cut to save some money, cutting pension, money and everything else shame on them, congrats to you and all your crew who, after all these years of hard work, training and all the troubles your profession have did your job really well. Priceless! Thank you
I got chocked up listening to him speak about his actions during this ordeal. You can barely tell he's holding his own emotions in, as he recounts the events and his actions of this day.. This man is truly amazing and inspirational.
Why is he a hero? If he had not landed that plane in the ( truly expert) way that he did, wouldn't his life had been lost, too? So, wasn't he basically saving his own life? I'm not saying he's not a great pilot; obviously, he possesses incredible quick-thinking skills and is extremely well trained... However-- is saving your own behind heroic? Not trying to detract from his skill, nor argue with other human beings on this site. Unlike the Captain and crew aboard the "TITANIC"-- who gave all of the rescue canoes to their passengers and let themselves literally go down with the ship-- I just don't find this particular story to be a tale of heroism. I'm not saying Sully should have martyred himself for no reason, but..... What am I missing?
He's a hero because he did something that has never been done before. He's a hero because he was at the very, very top of his profession. He's a hero because he has balls of steel. He's a hero because he's been fighting to change regulations to make flying safer so shit like this doesn't happen in the future. He's a hero because you could probably count on one hand the number of people out of the 7.4 billion on this planet that could have saved them. And he's a hero for handling his celebrity status with such grace and modesty. And he Just because you save yourself while saving others doesn't disqualify you from hero status.
1:51 - Reporter asks ' When did you first realize birds had hit the plane ' ? Now, if that isn't the dumbest question I've ever heard, I don't know what is !
Yea and she asked him that right AFTER he told her he saw and felt the birds hit and fill up the windshield on the plane...That made her question even DUMBER
And everyone else who helped to save everyone involved. Each person, in his or her own way, was definitly a HERO. GOD'S BLESSINGS AND THANK YOU TO ALL.🙏
“It was obvious to me from the moment we lost the thrust that this was a critical situation; losing thrust in both engines at a low speed at a low altitude over one of the most densely populated areas on the planet. Yes, I knew it was a very challenging situation.” Wow, if that’s not an understatement nothing is. The definition of cool, calm, and collected. Total professional. I need to win PowerBall so I can hire Sully to pilot my private jet at all times.
@Jeffrey Simmons Because he is capable of doing that very thing. Captain Sullenberger's successful water landing saved 155 souls onboard, and untold lives on the ground.
Can't stand artificially structured/edited interviews that are "60 Minutes". Manufactured for sensation and emphasis. Pathetic. Sully is a great pilot though. Katie is (was) a so-so 'journalist'. Promoting talented, eager, hard-working journalists high up the ladder and pay them millions of dollars a year turns them into divas and dingbats. Men or women, every network, same result.
I'm a highschool football player, and looking at that photo of a young Sully reminded me of a friend I have in the JROTC, an organization that I have always made a point to respect. Next time you see a kid in the JROTC and you think about making fun of him, just think about what he could be in the future...
I think its clear when she asks him the question he is thinking in a diplomatic question.. cristian or not he didnt prayed as he was busy actually doing his job.. but he knows that if he says "no i didnt prayed" right away there would be shit coming from many ultra-religious viewers.
@dukieboy007 Yes I do believe that. Everyone else on the plane is EXTREMELY lucky that HE was the one flying, going through the air force and commercial flying for 30 years and teaching emergency courses or whatever. He had some luck just with the fact that it was not only a great landing but a flawless landing. And that not a single person was injured.
The fact that one engine broke off is some scary shit. Even with a perfect attitude an engine is ripped away. Imagine if he had hit just a little bit off. Sully is the man.
@@josephherron7671 i just did a wiki ..and yep it got ripped off ..but thats how they`re designed ...so we shouldnt give it any weight as to the severeness of the crash because of it
@mcclellandt I agree that it was everyone else on the plane who was lucky -- that SULLY WAS THE PILOT! I will acknowledge that he was lucky in one specific area -- that the river was right there. Had the river not been within reach, this story would have had a different ending only because he would not have had an unpopulated area in which to land the plane. But other than that, it was all the skill, experience, and confidence of this man that made the landing a success.
The question "Did you at any point pray?" was ridiculous, but he totally nailed it with "I imagine somebody in the back was taking care of that for me.".... Haha really though, why did she ask that?
Somehow its hard to know what he flew in US Airways.. he flew for them since the early 80s until his retirement.. the 9:45 photo shows MD-80 .. probably DC-9s before that .. wonder if he had certs for other plane types (like Boeings and so) apart from DC-9/A320
"Was it in slow motion"..... with that perfect response it should have been questions on his life and experiences as to what made him such a professional at his field.... we all want that no matter what we pursue in life
Let's NEVER forget Jeff Skiles, either. He was the co-pilot that helped make this happen
yes,..but he forgot to engage the ditch switch,to keep the water out
And Buzz, Micheal too
and the stewards who stayed fearful allowing for a orderly escape,..no engines and heading for the water ..wow just amazing ...the movie 2016 Scully ..was amazing .. and also the david letterman show that followed ..with both pilots and 3 stewards.././.also i Rem at that time we could play a game on the pc internet where you have control of the plane after loosing thrust and you have to land in the river ..
A rare 60 Minutes episode worth watching. Most are filled with leftist bias confirmation data to tell a pre selected narrative.
First officer
I read his book. He said he felt no guilt regarding all the celebrity he got with interviews, parties, celebrity photo ops, etc, because everyone got off the plane alive. If one person died, he would have refused all offers.

This has to be the most badass sentence in the history of aviation
He doesn't blink much, yet his eyes are so attentive... His speaking is very calm and focused.. everything about this man is reassuring. He's a real role model, we are lucky to have people like him around!
I dig the way he walks just a slight bit of swag almost unseen
Nowadays is hard to find someone to admire and it’s clear as water Sully is a perfect role model, I agree with you!!!
I wish many kids want to be like him! (He LOVES what he does! That’s why he was able to achieve that high level state of mind)
"I had business to attend to, I had a job to do" What an absolute stand-up human being and Hero. You can't get too much cooler than that.
Holy crap, what an awesome guy. I love how he never says, "Um," or "Uh," or makes any kind of nervous gesture during the interview. He was as cool as a cucumber and hardly even blinked while giving crisp, clean, specific answers to Couric's questions. With experience comes wisdom.
He's reading from a prepared text. The cameras are angled so that you think he's speaking to the interviewer. Watch his eyes. He's reading.
So true... quick, confident, experienced, wise.
@@nulanula5302 Are you serious? You seriously believe that a man who was able to manage a critical situation in its extent unique and unprecedented in the history of aviation, needs "help" from a teleprompter in an interview in order to be able to describe what exactly happened ? You're kidding...
If he's "reading" off of the teleprompter, how do you explain the natural pausing as he collects his thoughts about that day?
It's his military training and self discipline.
Balls...Huge Balls...
The level of skill...
His demeanor...
His Experience...
What a man!
God Bless him!
I love the way Katie Couric keeps trying to coax gushy, mushy, confession-type statements out of him, and he just keeps saying, "No. I had a job to do. I had to concentrate. I knew I could do it."
The fact that this pilot and copilot managed this situation without killing anyone was amazing. My hats off to everyone involved.

Sully is a real hero and some of his answers are priceless despite the dumb questions being asked!
You watch the teaser didn't you?
I think they are talking about the trailer for the movie "Sully" that is coming out.
+Susan MinhTrang Nguyen yeah check it out! Tom Hanks is playing Sully. From the trailer it looks pretty accurate to the real life story.
how do they make a movie out of something that last less then 5 min
I think the movie is going to be more about what happens after the accident; the trial about what happened and if the captain could have done anything else to have avoided risking lives
I don't think he's trying to be sassy, but he totally comes off that way sometimes, and I love it: "This doesn't happen to me." KC: "What did you mean by that?" CS:: "I meant that I had this expectation that my career wouldn't be one in which I crash an airplane."

google the sue city crash in the corn field ..much much more cool and even more difficulties 100 fold this landing
This guy is unreal. I can barely handle having two spreadsheets open at once, at work. He's landing a plane on water...wtf.
Its his job haha
Scotty Weißmüller what’s your point? Haha
@@bossHogOG you tell me dumbass
Scotty Weißmüller wtf 😂
He is trained to for emergency situations and an experience pilot with over 40 years in the air that is a mircale
The story is so riveting. I can watch this over and over again.
Sully, Skiles, Crew, Passengers, Ferries, Emergency crew,.
THANK YOU! your heroics are just what we need to remember.
And ATC and the engineers who designed the aircraft and training and safety systems, the rescue crews and civilians who jumped to.
What a hero! He's so honest, modest and matter of fact about it, too! Doesn't it always seem that way with heroes?
"That's when I knew to take control of the plane" "how did you do that?" "I put my hand on the stick"
Hahaha I loved his answers. Pilots like him for the most part hate aviation journalism because they never get the stories right and they always try to sensationalize the story.
Katie Couric is an ass!
😏
Proud to be a citizen of earth... He did it for all of us... Made us all happy.
Comes down to it. This is a confident man who completely has his shit together. Completely prepared and trained, everyone on that plane owes their life to it.

That's a great idea for a small trinket! I agree wholeheartedly. Truly an inspiration
i would shit my pants if i were the pilot but listen to his voice in the radio, so damn calm. true hero he is.

humans are amazing i cant help but come to tears everytime i watch this :*)
Snoopy Schulz amazing indeed.
Calm, cool and collected if I'm ever on a flight and run into a problem I pray to God to have Sully and his crew on that flight !!
He has a very chilled, rolling voice.
Proper training is the key, that's why he was so calm
wow! the calm, in the face of so many problems! a pro if ever there was one! way to go Sully!!!!
I read this guys book. You know Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule? This guy had DOUBLE that. He had 19,600 hours in the sky at that point in his career. He’s also a total airline safety nerd
Ex military pilots are some of the best commercial pilots. God bless Sully and pilots like him.
Wow how this plane landed its like just landing on a regular airplane road.Thank you Mr.Sully for saving all the passengers and your crews and plus Thank you for your service.Thank you CBS for sharing this incredible video or story of what Mr.Sully did.

True hero! Thank you sully!
I still think about this and Sully was so cool and calm which facilitates rational thinking. He was quite the certain fellow and his Air Force training helped definitely.
Beautiful emergency water landing....amazing pilot and co-pilot
Katie Couric asks simple and respectful questions. There's a good reason as to why she is the journalist when most are just posting here.
Typical fighter pilot. “Could you do it?”
“Obviously.”
Like they say, it ain’t bragging if you can do it. o7
This man acted so cool, analytical and logical in a horrendous situation with barely enough time to react it's truly almost unbelievable and amazing. Despite his body's likely physiological reaction, he focused completely on the problem and worked it with his co-pilot perfectly to resolution. Plus if the plane was not perfectly level, it would cartwheel and come apart.
What strikes me most about his is how infrequently he blinks....the blinks indicating, to me at least, doubt and insecurity with his decision. This man didn't second guess his decision, the correct decision I might add. He's cyborg-like. I'd fly with him any day and twice on Sunday..

To Captain Sully and F.O Skiles,
HEROES!
It wasn't because he prayed Katie, it was because he was extremely capable at his job.
Sully and his team are the modern embodiment of professionalism.
"My aircraft."
"Your aircraft."
I bet that co-pilot was incredibly relieved to relinquish control.
A Real Hero 💯 👏 👌 God Bless You 🙌
A lot of people forget that the co-pilot has literally just finished his training on the aircraft and made a significant contribution to attempting to restart an engine and prepare for ditching.

That landing was a thing of beauty. Sully barely spilled the passengers drinks.
Two words - 'living legend'
And here I am can't even park straight in an open parking lot
😃
I second that
This man is a God damn American hero and should never have to pay for another drink for the rest of his life.
So true.

He's a hero because he pulled off the impossible and saved 155 lives. I'm curious how many you have saved. Not many I gather.
What a boss, nothing else needs to be said what a fucking boss.
What a great story. He's definitely the definition of a hero.
Sully never blinks. He is intense and a hero.
1:51 - Reporter asks ' When did you first realize birds had hit the plane ' ?
Now, if that isn't the dumbest question I've ever heard, I don't know what is !
"I wasn't really sure there was a problem until I was stepping off the plane onto a boat."
For me it's her repeated question whether he did pray in that moment.
🤷🏼♀️ Maybe she thought he was confused ...he may have thought he was on a twilight zone flick w/a gremlin on the wing!?
Yea and she asked him that right AFTER he told her he saw and felt the birds hit and fill up the windshield on the plane...That made her question even DUMBER
She probably meant when did they officially know that the sound was from Birds
a TRUE american hero

One other thing...read his book "Highest Duty!" It's great!
Pilot Sully is the original gangster.
Next time get an interviewer who doesn't have a concussion.
Can't stand artificially structured/edited interviews that are "60 Minutes". Manufactured for sensation and emphasis. Pathetic. Sully is a great pilot though. Katie is (was) a so-so 'journalist'.

He is an amazing man!!
I've had a bad day at my office today. Complaining and feeling angry. Now I feel ashamed after watching this.
@7:00 had he wasted time on prayer, he, along with the rest of the occupants on that plane, wouldn't be alive here to talk to you about it, Katie.
Ya stupid prayers!!! Calm down
Well God does say I will give you the tools to save yourself but you have to use them yourself he can't use them for you
Unless you have an aggressive brain tumor, then God is just like "Fuck it dude, you're toast." :)

He had some luck just with the fact that it was not only a great landing but a flawless landing. And that not a single person was injured.
Sully and the interviewer are clearly not on the same level lol
i do believe they were more concerned with taking any liability ,obviously, using the old term, ..IT IS WHAT IT IS ..
The right man, in the right place, at the right time.
He's the definition of a man!
Imagine being on Capt. Sullenberger's flight, right before the Hudson, then getting off having no idea he'd be instantly famous the next day.
Sully is a G
Unbelievable. This guy deserves to go down as an American hero.
What a legend!
Anyone else here because of the movie?
yeh
Here cuz I have an 8 page report due on him tomorrow morning, because of the recent fame as a result of the moves, so yeah
Jakob Miller kinda heard about this before the movie was this mans a true hero and was very professional and calm about this traumatic event.
Me
I came for the movies
The fact that one engine broke off is some scary shit. Even with a perfect attitude an engine is ripped away. Imagine if he had hit just a little bit off. Sully is the man.
seriously what engine broke off again
@@thecoondog56 I think it was the left one
@@josephherron7671 i just did a wiki ..and yep it got ripped off ..but thats how they`re designed ...so we shouldnt give it any weight as to the severeness
of the crash because of it
thats the kind of model a pilot have to follow... confidence.
The landing is especially amazing when you consider that he had to compensate for the weight of his enormous balls
LMAAAAOOOOO good point
@mcclellandt I agree that it was everyone else on the plane who was lucky -- that SULLY WAS THE PILOT! I will acknowledge that he was lucky in one specific area -- that the river was right there. Had the river not been within reach, this story would have had a different ending only because he would not have had an unpopulated area in which to land the plane. But other than that, it was all the skill, experience, and confidence of this man that made the landing a success.
If Katie knew anything about military pilots, she wouldn't have asked many of the questions she did.
The question "Did you at any point pray?" was ridiculous, but he totally nailed it with "I imagine somebody in the back was taking care of that for me.".... Haha really though, why did she ask that?
Agree. What a dumb question. “Did you appeal to a mythical being in the sky to magically land your 50 ton plane in a river?” Yeah. Sure.
To try to make his story dramatic. That's all. It's for ratings.
@@RealRaviyou're so intellectual
This man would never pay for a beer again if he came to a bar I owned. Hell, I want to buy him a beer now. Legendary.
Somehow its hard to know what he flew in US Airways.. he flew for them since the early 80s until his retirement.. the 9:45 photo shows MD-80 .. probably DC-9s before that .. wonder if he had certs for other plane types (like Boeings and so) apart from DC-9/A320
He came over in a merger via psa
"I was sure I could do it", Jesus Christ man you've got some balls!
"Was it in slow motion"..... with that perfect response it should have been questions on his life and experiences as to what made him such a professional at his field.... we all want that no matter what we pursue in life
Imagine another pilot which would try to land to an airport, no survivors at all. He had balls.
