UK_Widowmaker Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Simulator reconstruction of the emergency landing in the Hudson (everyone knows he was just showing off!) http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=tE_5eiYn0D0#t=109 Quote
+FastCargo Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) Interesting, they bled a lot of airspeed while they were higher up (about 200 feet) before the final drop in. My practice dead sticks have been lots of airspeed until ground effect...of course that risks sliding off the runway... "You got any ideas?" "Uh, not really." Awesome calm under pressure...

+GrinchWSLG Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 This is the same simulation, but with more of the ground side shown. I like it better for obvious reasons Quote
macelena Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 I noticed that Bon Jovi featured the landing in his last videoclip about people they seemed to admire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Te8piQH70 Quote
xclusiv8 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Awesome calm under pressure... FC I thought about that aswell. The pilot was extremly calm. Quote
