It looks like the water-landings on the safety charts. GJ on that pilot.
Btw hasn't the Hudson got a murderous current?

im sure someone will say it. it's even better when they say it and others did not survive. like they were important enough for god to save but the others were not.Agent_Dung_Bomb wrote:

Depends on the pilot's way of landing, the speed, and the waters at the time.CoronadoSEAL wrote:

Considering the plane was completely intact, I'd say all 3 factors were good.
he must have kept the wingtips from hitting the water untill it had slowed. amazing skill, just lucky or both. hopefully someone has footage of it going in so we can see.Poseidon wrote:

According to the news, the plane drifted over a mile, and probably more by now.M.O.A.B wrote:

It sure as hell looked like it from the TV footage. The plane and boats were moving pretty rapidly across the screen, given what you'd normally expect them to do in what.san4 wrote:

It was defiantly moving relatively fast.
An eyewitness describes the “incredibly controlled” landing, almost like a sea plane.

Crash landing and emergency landing are two different things.CoronadoSEAL wrote:

The first video is of a hijacking and the plane isn't piloted as far as I remember.
BTW, those planes are built to be able to glide and so are the pilots trained.

that is what planes are designed to do.
yup you win, Airbus is a fantastic airplane, unless of course it decides to land in a forest on its own, or shake off its tail feathers on take off. Other than that, they are great.Dilbert_X wrote:

or do an uncommanded toga during final approach without the pilot calling for it.....lowing wrote:
