It feels good to be a human these days.

What does that mean, people never rescued people before? Or is it a comment on the increasing availability of accidents on video? Or do you have a thing for the Coast Guard.

0 casualty accident + Obama + Cardcaptor Sakura = General improvement of mood.

I would have thought Card Captor Sakura alone would be enough.

5 Stars for good news.

In the event of a water landing... hope that your pilot is a shred as good as this guy.

I like the bit where they pass that other airplane in the background. That plane is like, FUCK.

what the hell kind of plane is that? it looks like a mini-concorde.

isn't the Intrepid air museum near where the crash was? that might actually be a real Concorde.

Save yourself some time, skip forward to the 2 minute mark, ignore the car and watch the left edge of the screen in the middle.

Let it buffer and watch it in fast-forward. It looks like the plane is cruising around in the river.

At five minutes you can see the mighty Hudson flowing a big piece of previously-airborne titanium downstream.

I am debating sending this to my co-worker who was on this flight.

Right now, I'm leaning towards no.

Airplanes float. Good to know.

To get them to float, though, takes a massively skilled pilot to do one of the hardest types of landings ever (landing on water). This guy has balls,balls,balls,balls of steel.

Well, he'll never have trouble with finding employment from here on out. No matter how bad the economy gets.

Hey this isn't it I don't think, are those the twin towers in the background?

kennydra - 2009-01-17

Are you joking?

Also, this video is boring.

that's just shitty

Boeing now officially loses my affection. That Airbus has phenomenal engineering.

Also the pilot is pretty fucking good - do you get a Sully with each plane?

5 stars for Sully Sullenberger. Because his name is awesome. Oh, and he's a good pilot too.

I over heard a co-worker saying, "He crashed a plane in the river and they're calling him a hero!?!? PFFFFT I mean. Think about it. He crashed a plane and he gets called a hero. I wish I was called a hero every time I fucked up."

I think he forgot he was not trolling the internet...I kind of hope he crashes into a river...

they did all the right things...this could've been very well a disaster but instead everyone survived...because they did all the right things...nice to hear something wonderful for a change...
