Sully is my new hero. The best part of the story is that he walked the cabin TWICE to make sure everyone was out.
This is the kind of Captain you youngsters need to emulate.

I figured they would worry about the weight limit some other time, I just couldn't recall how long TEB was....

This was obviously planned by the Captain. He needed to increase revenue for his safety company and how else better than to do what he did?!? Much wiser choice than setting the AP and then bailing out over Alabama!!!
Yes, some of my bad
.
Seriously though, I'm sure it will be good for his business. Not the way I would want to promote my safety biz, but probably pretty effective nonetheless!
Oh yes, he is a rated glider instructor. Just may have helped in this situation...at least a little.

Yes, but did he have a sea rating? He gets to log his first water landing as I did!

Oh man that's at Atlantic City, right? I remember that. Lived right there. Crazy.
One of my friends drove past the corporate jet that went over the street at Teterboro, and said seeing it stick out of the back of the building across the street reminded him of the Cadillacs half stuck in the walls at Hard Rock Cafe.

Kudos to the entire crew on getting everyone out safely...awesome outcome to the story.
EXACTLY. I hate it when people say things like, "it was god's will they died/survived." What the hell is it? ...population control?

Glad my dad, who was with EAL until the end, didn't see that. He would have broken my TV.
Then again, we do need to get one for the switch in February anyway...

The internet is an amazing thing...or scary.
Here is the pilot's wife...

It frightens me the amount of information that is out there if you dig for it.

75/76, yes!
Ignition on ... BOTH
Thrust levers... CLOSE
Fuel Control Switches... OFF then RUN
or something like that. I don't remember.

WHAT?!? That's not memory item?!? "Oh look, dual engine failure...let me see here..." as the pilot digs around for his QRH.
OK, so I know this is a very interesting story, but why must the media sensationalize EVERYTHING?!? I am seeing a lot of "Miracle on the Hudson River". I betcha that the script is already being written!

Re: Breaking News: US Airways Jet Crashes in the Hudson Riv
Did any other flight instructors get contacted by their local news to talk about "flying and wildlife"?
Everybody at our school turned them down.
"yeah, I would love to speculate"
I hate how the only time they want to talk to us is post accident.
Local news sucks.

I can't even begin to imagine flying an A-320 down to the ground (or water in this case) in New York City with both engines flamed out. These guys definitely had their hands full. I'm just glad he managed to land the airplane level, which obviously led to the airplane not tumbling, had one engine hit the water first. Praise God everyone survived. This could have been much, much worse.

Re: Breaking News: US Airways Jet Crashes in the Hudson Riv
I am simply amazed at this. Wow. Just wow. Heckuva job by the pilots.
Popular Mechanics said airline pilots are not trained on how to ditch an airplane. Any truth to that?
How in the heck are they going to get the plane out of the water? (apologies if this has already been discussed, internet is too slow for me to look at all four pages)

Call it luck, call it the Force, call it God, call it a miracle Jules, bottom line is, the crew did a great job, but the fact their were zero fatalities is a pure miracle. Back in the 70's VP-9 had to ditch in the Aleutians. Only half made it despite all surviving the impact. Exposure killed them.

Al Haynes would say the same thing.
