I'll take this episode over the movie any day. I know Sully gets most of the credit in the media, but First Officer Skiles (sorry if I misspelled his last name) should get credit too. Both of those pilots are why everyone survived under impossible circumstances.
@@Dante-jx6tmSkiles is the spelling, they have it written next to his name when he is first interviewed right at the beginning. All the crew did a stellar job that day. Flight Attendants and the pilots. The passengers helped each other and the ferry crews and rescue crews were right on point. Great work all around. Oh and the air traffic controller. Can’t forget him,
@ShadowCatGold2006 let's give him credit, but I won't take 2 seconds to spellcheck his name lol Such a weird sentence even though you spelled it correctly.
I remember seeing the news reports when it happened and thinking "Wow, what an awesome save" but was utterly shocked when I watched the movie and realized Sully was from my little hometown in Texas. Small world!
So glad to see Mr. Skiles getting the interview here. I understand that Mr. Sullenberger was in control of the plane as it was ditched, but I've always felt that Mr. Skiles hasn't gotten enough credit for his part in saving all of these people's lives. To be fair, I don't think that circumstance is the FAULT of Sully, as I remember it he was more than willing to share credit with Skiles, but the media certainly focused much more on him. Pleased to see ATC Patrick Harten here, too!
@@kvarner6886 yeah sully always said it was a group effort with everyone on board and atc was a stand up guy in interviews even Tom hanks spoke very highly about how the movie they were making about him needed to have more about everyone but him
Yes the captain and every pilot I’ve heard talk about give credit to the whole team - captain, first officer, and flight attendants - but it’s hard to do that in a soundbite on the news, and harder still to sell “team effort” rather than “maverick hero” to a Hollywood producer, so… 😮💨
Yes, this has occurred to me. If they had spotted a vessel or two that already massive workload could have been greatly complicated: trying to tweak the glide trajectory while keeping the right pitch and the wings level. There are other what ifs: they had to clear the GW Bridge... I don't know how high they flew over it (... ah, 900 ft according to Wikip) but that could've been a disaster too. As a resident of London UK this also makes me think quite a bit: there is simply no way you can land in the twisty Thames, which is stuffed full of bridges, much narrower, and sometimes with vessels. Also London is so heavily built up for miles around: good luck with finding a patch of level field or parkland! And we have birds too... although fortunately not 10 pound Canada geese (unless they've taken a major wrong turning).
I always wondered what the captains of those vessels thought seeing that plane come overhead smoking at such a low altitude. I know I would have been shocked and horrified.
This is mentioned near the end of the video. It was a clear day, and that stretch of the Hudson the plane came down in was empty of everything but water. Sully and Skiles' guardian angels must have put in some serious overtime here.
I have a lot of respect for air traffic controllers. They are there to help the pilots, the crew, and the passengers stay safe, but in a crash scenario they are mostly unable to do much. I can’t imagine the amount of emotional pain an air traffic controller feels when a plane goes down and people die. I couldn’t do that job because it would scar me too badly if I had a plane I was in control of go down and people on board died. The pilots and crew were completely professional and the pilots are heroes.
Captain knew he had far too much fuel, far too little altitude. 50 50 chances of safe return wernt good enough. Human life is worth far more than all the riches of the world. Water is enemy of fire and heat. So he went for it. Excellent choice.
@@AliKhan-1966 The NTSB determined that 50% Chance of making it to a Runway was IF they skipped the 3 pages long Checklist. They clearly said that when they factored in the 35 seconds they spent on going through half of the Checklist like this Crew did _(and especially the decision to toss it out once they realized that they simply did not have the time to complete it: they had other, much higher priorities),_ Crashing was INEVITABLE... So, if the Crew had stuck to the procedure & completed the Checklist instead of thinking on their feet, they'd be dead. 0% is quite the huge difference with 50% chance to reach an Airport Runway! The vast majority of Crews would never have made this landing without massive casualties/fatalities, let alone landing the Plane still in 1 piece _(also in part due to activating the APU so soon when it wasn't anywhere near the top of the standard priority of procedures to follow)!_
I was watching television here in Europe when this situation was shown. I remained almost glued to the screen until everyone was recovered. I love the Airbus over Boeing and was so delighted to see how well it was landed and no lives lost. The crew were excellent and I cried as everyone was brought safely to the shore.
I always find the little thing no one points out is that the passengers were also ready. Those recounts of "be ready at the doors" and the reply of "we're ready" always makes me want to cry. I mean, those are people who have no training, and they're scared, and they still remembered to do that.
recalling this story right after the Jeju air accident , although tragic it is a good example of in time of crisis it is important to not just follow protocol and believe in your best judgement , all the training you had in life was to prepare you for a shock and not many are equipped with crisis management skills these days. Back in the days, ppl are way tougher and have to handle more unexpected events which lead a tougher mindset. Captain Sully and Skiles heroes and perfect example of that, decision making in minutes under grave danger , calm, composed and perfect execution till the end.
We don't know the full story regarding the Jeju air accident yet, but the pilot did an incredible job landing the plane on the runway without landing gear.
The major problem with today's Pilots is that they're trained right off the bat on very highly automated Planes and are NEVER taught the Basics of Airmanship, hence all these avoidable accidents and crashes happening when the Autopilot has an issue or is accidentally disengaged... Personally, I'd have all (future) Pilots in Training start off with a mandatory learning of how to fly Airplanes with very rudimentary automation so that they have to Master flying Planes by hand BEFORE they're ever allowed to Train on Modern Planes!
I saw in another documentary that some tour helicopter overheard the traffic control conversation and confirmed what Captain Sully said, and I can just imagine the disbelief. "We're gonna be in the Hudson." "...I'm sorry, say again?" "He said he's gonna be in the HUDSON!"
im so glad im not the only one who giggled at that, i feel like they were talking like the solution to the problem was to just get rid of all birds in the whole world😭
Now, now, the air crash investigators still have to do their jobs. (In fact, in determining that Capt. Sully did the right thing they also found that the standard checklist he tried to follow actually got in his way.)
Leaving aside the property damage, there were injuries. The question, at the onset of the investigation, is whether a landing can be achieved to prevent those. After they did their research, they found the answer to be no.
Mentour Pilot (YT channel) did a real-time simulator recording of this event from start to finish. It helps to understand exactly how little time they had to react.
@@Powerranger-le4up THAT man was a true badass...a one-eyed PILOT?! That's just amazing. I'd love to know how he practiced to make THAT certification work! His whole crew was amazing, but TACA 110's captain was just top-tier.
4:40 "What a beautiful Hudson today..." a bit of foreshadowing. So was that textbook perfect water landing! I remember this very well as if it was yesterday.
It's fascinating how something as insignificant as an organic bird can either get completely and totally obliterated by an aircraft engine like nothing happened, or bring the metal bird down.
@@douglaszare1215 EXACTLY!!! The ACTUAL CASUALTIES of the Miracle of Hudson are FOUR Canada Geese!!! 😜😝🤣🤪😂 Sad that these geese cannot communicate to the air traffic control to manage their air space!!!
Way back during World War II, the U.S. Navy had a giant computer, so primitive by modern standards that its "circuits" consisted of actual mechanical switches. One day it ground to a halt. It took days to dismantle enough of it to find out why: a moth had somehow gotten in, got stuck in a switch, and was bashed to death, but got its revenge by shutting the whole giant contraption down. And this, boys and girls, is why we speak of "bugs" in our computers.
See that's what happens when people don't pay attention to the safety briefing, when he was talking about not knowing how to brace, even though the attendant was saying heads down. People don't listen or think they know what to do,, then a situation like this happens and you won't know what to do. It's not up to the flight crew, it's not even up to the flight attendants it's up to you as a passenger to pay attention. This could have been a lot worse.
@@randydelaney7053 I was stunned that, facing water outside, there appeared to not be many life vests used. I scuba but am not a strong swimmer. My reliance on a BC to float at the surface would have me whipping that puppy out from beneath my seat in a heartbeat.
@@countrysister700I thought it’s understandable that many didn’t think of putting on life vest. The first thing they heard from the captain was “brace for impact”; then after everything quiet down the only thing in their mind were probably just “run!”
This happened live. It was riveting. We were all praying for everyone and so happy to see ferries and small boats quickly come out to rescue everyone. Sully was uniquely qualified to land that plane. He was a flight instructor and part of his training was water landings.
The Adrenaline and Terror Running Through Passengers Mind and Bodies as They are Told to Brace For Impact For a Hudson River Plane Landing....Must be Pretty Surreal Feeling
I always knew this was an amazing story. But now at this point I've watched enough mayday: air disaster to know a plane trying to land on the water doesn't usually end so well
Wonderful presentation, outstanding! I remember working in Manhattan that day and running to our lunch room where the TV was on and seeing this miracle on the Hudson unfolding ! Wow! 🎉
I also love how concise he was, nothing more nothing less, the exact same way he spoke to the ATC, to his colleague and to passengers. Somehow it just makes you listen, no need to shout
This communication between the two pilots are very handy for later on the box recording. Incase there was no one to tell the story. It will help the investigators aftermaths of plane crash.
This one and the BA gloght where the captain got sucked out of the cockpit, yet all survived because of the great skill of the co pilot are the best stories of all. Thank god for the quick thinking and calm actions of these pilots.
This episode demonstrates clearly the expertise, professionalism and skill of the flight crew. They have earned even more of my respect. As for bird strikes, as they state in the video, they will continue to happen. They will also damage engines until such improbable time someone makes a miraculous scientific and engineering discovery that aircraft engines are something akin to those blade-less fans so many of us have in our homes that would allow birds to pass through without damaging any crucial component. How that would be possible and if it were ever to be possible is beyond me and as I wrote earlier, it would probably have to be a miraculous and spectacular scientific and engineering breakthrough. In short, not likely a reality anytime soon. The avian radar clearly looks like the most realistic and effective method currently at our disposal.
what was not mentioned here was that after the crash landing, Sully immediately went to the passengers' area to tell them to evacuate. It was actually Sully who was the last one to leave the plane.
@@good2golden803 No, I just don’t think Hollywood actors, celebrities, or other prominent people should exploit their fame to foist half-baked political opinions on others. Their opinions on matters outside their competence are about as profound as those you’ll find at the corner barber shop
I get why they made a movie from this experience it was amazing, but I've seen others on this channel that deserved a movie even more! Good thing this plane had a good crew working that day!
I've said it b4, thank goodness for the Hudson coz I've always wondered where Sully would have landed. It has entered my mind many times or could he have landed out to sea? Maybe not considering they were low altitude & time was critical. That whole flight was truly blessed & all those people had guardian angels with them.
An Air Canada 767 performed a similar dual engine failure back in the 80s. Only difference was the water, to land on water and keep the aircraft in one piece is both pilot skill and a lot of luck.
Hudson river is so wide and free from obstacle, so capt sully doesn't have too much worries. it's very different if compared to Garuda Indonesia flight 421 who ditching on solo river
When the passenger says we were told to Brace but how do you do that? Well if you listen to the flight instructions at the beginning and read the card it tells you. Everyone should know these basic things! 😮
Sully saved many more lives than 155 plus crew. I'm guessing some of the people who were saved had children who might not have been born with a different pilot.
There could be an alternate universe where the Goose Channel makes a documentary about how a plane hit and killed multiple geese, and how such mass killings could be prevented by the NGSB (National Geese Safety board).
Makes me mad to think the investigators were trying to make Sully the bad guy when he OBVIOUSLY WAS A HERO and did what he had to and EVERYONE SURVIVED
The recent loss of lives in Korea after the Jeju crash highlights the miracle of the Hudson and how each and every decision of an experienced pilot is essential to survival. It was confirmed that BOTH engines in the Jeju crash were lost and full of bird feathers and bird "parts" Fortunately Sully engaged is APU preventing loss of all electrical power. The Jeju pilots did a LOT right in terrible circumstances however, it's likely that they didn’t have time to to engage their APU and they suffered a catastrophic loss of ALL electrical systems after they lost both engines. Indeed they were descending and they were at an even lower altitude than Sully. However, Sully engaging that APU was just another pivotal moment of doing everything perfectly in terrible circumstances. Everyone survived. Sadly, experts say if the concrete wall wasn't there, they believe everyone could have walked away. RIP Jeju heros.
Same story happened to Garuda Indonesia Airlines GA421 in 2002. Both engines had shut down due to bad weather. The pilot and co pilot chose to emergency landed on Bengawan Solo River in Solo, Central Java.
Am I the only one who feels sorry for the birds? I'm glad all the passengers survived, but the birds were just flying along minding their own business. Plus all the birds that are being euthanized just because they MIGHT cause a problem some day. What a shame.
I do feel sorry for the birds 😢 Between planes, trains, vehicles, skyscrapers, habitat loss… bird populations have decreased significantly in last few decades. Wish we could find a better way to coexist without causing such harm
What do they mean the crew spend a lot of time to start the plane instead of ditching. No need to look for fault in this case. this pilots acted Asap. If they could ditch the plane with catastrophic ending. Maybe then, the investigators would have said why they didn’t try to make the engine work. This is a miracle. The time for the pilot was limited. Maybe something terrible would have happened. Knocking down the building or poles, bridges near the river.
I live by LGA and birds are something else. I was in manhattan that day to meet up with a friend. we were around the spot they landed and half an hour later we heard about it. Had we changed our schedule, or was late for something we would have seen it.
In January 2002 Garuda Indonesia GA421 had emergency landing in Bengawan Solo River. I think it has similiarities with this story. I hope Mayday Air Disaster can bring up GA421 story
There are documentaries about how airport manage birds and it’s still a job for a crew of full time workers. If it was that simply they could simply covered the airport with emitters.

'My aircraft.' That's a Man taking control and responsibility.
Control with confidence. Nice combination for success

Mine too.
The ultimate feel good story.
I feel sad for the birds !!
no because of all the birds subsequently slaughtered
I’m watching this again after Korean airplane crash. I just wish we all can fly with these good pilots.

No, I just don’t think Hollywood actors, celebrities, or other prominent people should exploit their fame to foist half-baked political opinions on others. Their opinions on matters outside their competence are about as profound as those you’ll find at the corner barber shop
@@djpalindromethe whole point of anyone having political opinions is to 'foist them on others'. That's how it works dude
sully was a miracle worker here
I get why they made a movie from this experience it was amazing, but I've seen others on this channel that deserved a movie even more! Good thing this plane had a good crew working that day!
I watch this on a daily as my favorite show to watch ❤❤❤
I've said it b4, thank goodness for the Hudson coz I've always wondered where Sully would have landed. It has entered my mind many times or could he have landed out to sea? Maybe not considering they were low altitude & time was critical. That whole flight was truly blessed & all those people had guardian angels with them.
some people don’t believe in miracles. This is a miracle.
18:56 it’s so bizarre to see that image and hear the words “the aircraft was tied against the pier”
Definitely one of my fav episode
An Air Canada 767 performed a similar dual engine failure back in the 80s. Only difference was the water, to land on water and keep the aircraft in one piece is both pilot skill and a lot of luck.
Also Captain Carlos Dardanos in 1988 on TACA flight 110
Hudson river is so wide and free from obstacle, so capt sully doesn't have too much worries. it's very different if compared to Garuda Indonesia flight 421 who ditching on solo river
When the passenger says we were told to Brace but how do you do that? Well if you listen to the flight instructions at the beginning and read the card it tells you. Everyone should know these basic things! 😮
i know i was in my room looking like a crazy person cause i fr went: "LIKE THIS!!!" then i braced for impact😭
Sully saved many more lives than 155 plus crew. I'm guessing some of the people who were saved had children who might not have been born with a different pilot.
Not to mention if they’d crashed into the city, anyone on the ground could have died too. Thank goodness no one was in the Hudson at the time.
i was born the same day this happened jan 15 2009
Pov parents: OMG WHY IS MY KID BORN AND A PLANE JUST HIT THE HUDSON
Excellent work Scully..
This was an amazing landing.
I was a senior in high school finding out the crash happened 15 years ago it feels like it was just yesterday
What legends those pilots are. Hats off.
Both pilots knew each other very well.
An excellent example of crew resource management.
I remember this day very well. It was a sight to see. Tremendous crew. ❤
There could be an alternate universe where the Goose Channel makes a documentary about how a plane hit and killed multiple geese, and how such mass killings could be prevented by the NGSB (National Geese Safety board).
*We need to avenge our brothers and sisters*
Makes me mad to think the investigators were trying to make Sully the bad guy when he OBVIOUSLY WAS A HERO and did what he had to and EVERYONE SURVIVED
Jeju air comes to mind,
Rip to all the passengers 😢

I was at work right next to the East River and we kept hearing about this but I don't think any of us really believed it was happening!
Those poor birds.
The recent loss of lives in Korea after the Jeju crash highlights the miracle of the Hudson and how each and every decision of an experienced pilot is essential to survival. It was confirmed that BOTH engines in the Jeju crash were lost and full of bird feathers and bird "parts" Fortunately Sully engaged is APU preventing loss of all electrical power. The Jeju pilots did a LOT right in terrible circumstances however, it's likely that they didn’t have time to to engage their APU and they suffered a catastrophic loss of ALL electrical systems after they lost both engines. Indeed they were descending and they were at an even lower altitude than Sully. However, Sully engaging that APU was just another pivotal moment of doing everything perfectly in terrible circumstances. Everyone survived. Sadly, experts say if the concrete wall wasn't there, they believe everyone could have walked away. RIP Jeju heros.
Same story happened to Garuda Indonesia Airlines GA421 in 2002.
Both engines had shut down due to bad weather. The pilot and co pilot chose to emergency landed on Bengawan Solo River in Solo, Central Java.
I like how the plane didn’t sink and was taken to a museum
To make it more complete yet, documentary should tell that aircraft sits in a museum in NC
Great documentary. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing this. Take care and God Bless.
Incredibly skills, steady and decision making ! Heroes
That was some great flying by both the captain and the first officer. I would not mind to have them on my flight
Am I the only one who feels sorry for the birds? I'm glad all the passengers survived, but the birds were just flying along minding their own business. Plus all the birds that are being euthanized just because they MIGHT cause a problem some day. What a shame.
Nope i am sad
Well...peoples lives are more important than birds lives ....sorry.
I do feel sorry for the birds 😢
Between planes, trains, vehicles, skyscrapers, habitat loss… bird populations have decreased significantly in last few decades. Wish we could find a better way to coexist without causing such harm
Lesson-Don't be panicked in any given situation, have confidence on you and manage the situation with care.
Did anyone think of the poor geese??
I did.
Same here
They came out second best this time. I'd like to know if they're edible. We eat chickens and turkeys.
What do they mean the crew spend a lot of time to start the plane instead of ditching. No need to look for fault in this case. this pilots acted Asap. If they could ditch the plane with catastrophic ending. Maybe then, the investigators would have said why they didn’t try to make the engine work. This is a miracle. The time for the pilot was limited. Maybe something terrible would have happened. Knocking down the building or poles, bridges near the river.
amazing pilot good story
I love the Norm Macdonald film, "Sully Sullenberger: Airport Pilot".
Two heroes❤
I live by LGA and birds are something else. I was in manhattan that day to meet up with a friend. we were around the spot they landed and half an hour later we heard about it. Had we changed our schedule, or was late for something we would have seen it.
I remember the movie about this, no passengers lost their lives.
What a miraculous day. God was totally with them.
Certainly people prayed in this plane! Just like for the Air Transat flight 236.
That can't be the real story, the captain looked nothing like Tom Hanks...😅
@@johnwymer1215 I see people no longer understand sarcasm and humor……
😂😂😂
@@sunnyfon9065🤦🏼♀️
Tom was the best choice in my opinion.
Does anyone believe there was fowl play going on here ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Wym?
No, no one believes that.
@@Smokie2107it's play on words. 'Fowl' refers to birds, and is a homophone of 'foul' which is common to see as a part of the phrase 'foul play'
In January 2002 Garuda Indonesia GA421 had emergency landing in Bengawan Solo River. I think it has similiarities with this story. I hope Mayday Air Disaster can bring up GA421 story
Wouldn’t a way to keep bird away would be to have frequency emitters on planes that send out sound that would scare birds away.
@@jonathanradut2595 that’s what I was thinking…
@@jonathanradut2595 I think a howling jet engine already does that
There are documentaries about how airport manage birds and it’s still a job for a crew of full time workers. If it was that simply they could simply covered the airport with emitters.
Not seen this one before and now find myself watching it on 15th January 2025, exactly 16 years later. Strange coincidence.
I watched this 10 times already. :D
we dont talk about this enough
