3D Simulation of the ditching of Cactus 1549
Posted by Hans under Aviation , Technical , Journal , LinksA 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.”
