Video: 5 white-knuckled minutes aboard Flight 1549

nothing less. the bronx, the gwb, the neighborhoods around tereboro, 3,000 feet. a miracle that no one, not one person, was even hurt.

It's not a miracle, training and good judgment. One topic I did take note of is how mainstream media attempted to correlate this to an event back in 2001...

And... it's not a water landing, it was a crash landing, the plane lacks any kind of pontoons to float.

Boy this was truely a wonderful ending to what could have been the worst thing we have seen since 9/11. God Bless all that had anything to do with the out come of this terrible thing.

We all thank you for doing a good job.We thank GOD it floated and didn't go down.It sure had to be cold in that water.Now have a good day. Dave

That pilot deserves a raise. And a beer. And a vacation. Not involving a jet. Absolutely phenomenal job. My hat goes off to you Sir.

It floated b/c there was fuel still in its fuselage , No gods were involved just science.

god had nothing to do with it, if it were up to god all the sinners on board wouldn't of made it!!!

The pilots and crew are definitely the heroes with regard to getting the plane down safely and keeping the passengers calm. However, let's not forget about the ferry captains and crews who rushed to the aid of everyone on the plane. If people had to stay in the water longer than the few minutes that they did, there would've been some deaths for sure. Kudos to everyone!!

Way to go, Sully!

You're still spelling "obvious" wrong, "God" should be capitalized, and instead of "wouldn't of" you should have said "wouldn't have".

That's what I call piloting skills!

I heard one of the passengers say it was a miracle and they they "thanked God" for guiding the hands of the pilot. Sorry to be irreverent, but if God was involved, wouldn't it have been easier for him to simply move the geese by a few feet? Then the GEESE could have claimed it was a miracle :-)

Just think!! An entire generation and families of Canadian geese instantly wiped out!!--Total genocide -- by surviving Charlotte, North Carolina flying toilet seatwarmers!!!

You're kidding right? EVERYthing that happens has a reason. The lessons that will be learned from this incident will be innumerable. This is case even when there are deaths involved. New procedures are put in place, new safety equipment, etc.

Believing that even tragedies happen as part of God's plan is in no way meant to minimize the pain that is suffered. I just have to believe that something useful comes out of the pain.
