In anticipation for my trip, one that is sure to be epic, I have finally given in and setup a twitter account. Feel free to follow me here, follow me there, just don’t say I didn’t warn you. And yes, I’ll be cross-posting to facebook as well.

3D Simulation of the ditching of Cactus 1549

A really well produced 3D simulation of the ditching of US Airways 1549 into the Hudson River. The air traffic control tapes are playing in the background and you can see what Sully and Skiles say to each other during their descent towards the Hudson.
2010 Update:
I just finished reading Captain Sullenberger’s book Highest Duty. What a fantastic and inspiring book. My favorite line is a quote from his wife: “Sully, life is not a checklist.”
