US Airways Plane in Hudson
Yes, you read that right!! A US airways plane was found on the river Hudson and rescue missions raced to the place. A brilliant effort by the pilot, who visualized that the engines failed to function properly, made the accident result in no life loss. Sullenberger, was applauded so many times, for making such a timely decision and crashing the 1549 flight on to river Hudson.
Sullenberger stated in an interview that the mission was part of his training, and any other pilot would have done the same. A humble man, had the thoughts to do the right thing, under excessive pressure. A brave act indeed. US news has a full interview with Sullenberger.
He also states on a funny note, that he landed the plane, just like on a runway, expect that the plane was not powered by any engines.
