@vibesacrosstheworld: On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 lost both engines just minutes after takeoff. With no power and no runway in reach, Captain Sully made the impossible choice to land in the Hudson River. All 155 people survived. This became one of the most iconic moments in aviation history and it changed pilot training forever. #fyp #aviation #avgeek #sully #miracle
I’m a flight attendant, and last month I met a passenger who was on that flight. It was cool to hear is story and knowing that he still flys.

All I can think was this was only 8 years after 9/11 and the TERROR everyone in the city must have felt seeing that plane

And they had the audacity to try to question his character. This man saved a whole flight by himself and NSA tried to destroy his character. He will forever be known as a hero.

The 9th picture is my uncle's personal boat, he was the first boat on scene and helped people off the wing of the plane onto his boat. 💙

The Ntsb were more concerned that Sully had ditched a multi million dollar plane in the Hudson rather than the amount of lives he and his 1st officer saved. They even did simulator runs to try to prove he could have made it back to an airport… they all failed and proved Sully right.

Out of everything that happened in that event, my only concern would just be getting Hudson River water on me 😭

The way the NTSB grilled Capt. sully was disgusting. They tried so hard to sabotage him.

And the media still bashed him saying he could’ve made it the airport. Yet he safely put the plane down and saved everyone.

And they made him go through court questioning if he made the right decision or not 😤

Water is better than land if a plane should lose power, his decision was the only reasonable decision to make. Any person with good sense would have chosen water over land, buildings or dirt.

The bystanders and boats in the area are the true heroes because they got there QUICK before hyperthermia can set in on most

He was a former air force pilot!? I trust the military pilots most of all. They are essential! Their survival instincts are unmatched and way up to par! 🤏🏾 💕

Considering all the other plane crashes in history this was amazing. Idk why they gave him such a hard time.
