How All Passengers Survived the Miracle on the Hudson

They can be thankful those two pilots had great training, didn't panic, and had an alternative solution. It was the key to their success.

[@thudthud5423]

Nor the flight crew. Those ladies kept their calm and giving instructions to their passengers. Capt. Sully also was the last person off the plane. He insisted on wading through that icy cold water in the cabin checking to see if anyone hadn't gotten out.

[@billanthony7896]

The pilot himself gave credit to his crew as well. It was a team effort, with everyone doing their part. Yes, the pilot executed a perfect water landing, but what if he had collided with one of the boats on the river? What if he hadn't had the necessary time to avoid clipping the George Washington Bridge? Those two events were out of his control.

[@MrsEJV]

I’ve been in an “Mayday” landing - 2004, Air Canada, Toronto to Manchester, NH. 18 passengers, no flight attendant (he did the safety bit and then became the copilot). It was the same sense of having 17 new best friends. Hope you never need to know, but you get 12 minutes of O2 when they drop the masks. If the plane is full of smoke that’s not going to do it. We used any bottled water we had and wet scarfs, etc. there was no panic. It was at night and seeing that one brightly lit runway made it very real, especially when we realized the number of lights that were actually emergency vehicles that all pull in behind you down the runway like a parade. I never found out what went wrong and was burning - they had us off and away from the plane in seconds. Yes. I still fly. No. Not Air Canada.

[@jorged06]

There was only a "Karen" who tried to open the wrong door in the back and almost got the whole plane flooded a lot sooner.

[@Kyolover8]

It's like the people on United flight 93. They were all strangers but after hearing what happened to the other planes and what the possible intended target was for their plane they banded together knowing they most likely wouldn't make it out alive but they got together and tried to do what they could to prevent their plane from reaching its intended target..

[@skyknight1281]

The captain was obviously trained by Yoda. There are very few force users able to lift an entire aircraft out of the water like that.

[@p12jacob]

did you know that air floats. And the aircraft was filled with air.

[@zach3955]

In all seriousness, the reason why they survived was that the captain did air gliding in his free time so he knew how to glide the plane without engines resulting in a safe landing.

[@substygram4357]

Wow. I didn't know they still have the high and low pressure air divided even when the plane is on the water.

[@carmelpule6954]

They had what they call buoyancy provided by the VOLUME of the front cabin which DISPLACED the water and lifted up the nose. The pilot did fine as many others did, but he was lucky to have that buoyancy in front to lift him up and stop the plane from flipping over or digging down into the water

Captain Sully is the *_MAN_* Landing an aircraft, at that speed, on water? Quasi-concrete at those speeds? Unbelievable ...

[@lucamuller6729]

Also a lot of respect to the engineers at Airbus for implementing fly by wire as first commercial airliner manufacturer in the A320 and thus enabling full envelope protection.

[@ronaldhowell2041]

Actually, the full envelope protection engineered into the A320's control algorithm prevented Capt, Sullenburger from getting the aircraft to the absolute minimum speed, which would have been the stall speed at the configuration they had, prior to impact. Ironic, but true!

[@lucamuller6729]

Maybe I am wrong, but in a swept wing design as found in most airliners it is pretty hard to maintain control over the aircraft once it reached its stall speed, not to mention the tendency to tip stall and then roll as an effect of it. Thus at low altitude its a point of no return/recovery. The Envelope Protection/Alpha Protection kicks in and prevents the pilot from making a bad situation even worse by misjudging the height or speed above the water. In this situation it was a small compromise to impact at α-prot while its crucial to maintaining full responsiveness over all control surfaces, allowing for a stable approach.

[@varigdc10]

While I respect Capt. Sully for his excellent flying feat I do not consider his effort an act of heroism or superman type of performance. Any commercial airline pilot with the proper training and experience would have done the same thing. Please stop overpraising this guy, it's just a little bit too much.

[@alvexok5523]

@silverhawkflash There have been many military officers who've had training and experience in both the Navy and the Air Force. In fact there is the Naval Air Force, and this may've been where the captain of that flight had his background. He was an Air Force fighter pilot, but he also knew just what to do in a situation involving an impact in the water. It's always better for a pilot to have both Air Force and Navy training, considering there always being the possibility of an aircraft crashing into the ocean or a lake or river

I can imagine that he had PTSD after being in that incident. But imagine a passenger who was a survivor of, for example, that United airlines crash landing about 20 years ago where the plane landed on the wrong angle and the aircraft partially split in two while half of the aircraft burst into flames with most of those passengers perishing while the other half had some survivors although many of them badly injured with serious burns. Imagine the PTSD if one of those survivors. As for the ones who did die, I just hope it was instant with no agony or suffering. And I think it was because if you're in the center of a big explosion, it's usually instantaneous. To me, dying in an suffering agonizing way is much scarier than death itself

I saw the Tom Hanks film about this crash landing last night, and I rate it a 7 out of 10. The part where the cabin attendants shout in unison: "Heads down, stay down, brace, brace, brace," really gave me the heebie-jeepies. There were a lot of things the film didn't have time to touch on. For example, no mention was made of the fact that the captain was an experienced glider pilot. Apparently this was part of the reason he was able to execute a perfect crash landing in the water. Supposedly most pilots that attempted this maneuver in a simulator ended up crashing the airplane. A lot of factors combined to give this story a happy ending, such as clearing the George Washington Bridge, and not colliding with any of the boats on the river. Amazingly, some of the passengers on this flight boarded other planes later in the day to continue on with their travel plans. Yikes, talk about raw courage.

[@ChainShawed]

Not many boats in the hudson during the winter, Only tankers and Ferries really.

The fact that they came to a stop right by not one but two ferry terminals on either bank was a major factor as well. The ferries sprung into action as soon as they saw the plane splashdown and were pulling up to the wings within a just few minutes. Can't ask for positioning and timing than that.

Please stop calling this a "miracle". It was damn good flying and great decision making. A "miracle" would have been if all those geese had passed through the engines and not caused any damage.

[@MrArticSwing]

Don't be an idiot and take the word "miracle" literally. It's miracle because the chances of surviving something like this incident are wild. It's a miracle because the last aviation involved incident in NYC had the complete opposite result. Stop being so offended by word usage because you like to take things too literally. You'll also do well to know that the English language contains words that have multiple meanings, miracle is one of them: a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences. That is EXACTLY what this was.

[@PhilRounds]

"A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws.[1] Such an event may be attributed to a supernatural being (a deity), magic, a miracle worker, a saint or a religious leader." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle That's what a miracle is.

[@MrArticSwing]

I will repeat myself: IN the English language there are words that have MORE than one meaning. That is one meaning, yes, but the other was what I had stated and this sense, they used the denotation I provided. You're wrong.

[@PhilRounds]

Saying something over and over (repeating yourself) doesn't make it true. The problem with calling something a "miracle" is that it devalues the human effort required to achieve the objective (in this case, safely landing a disabled airplane in the Hudson River). People read "miracle" and they assume either divine influence or extreme good luck was involved...when the fact is it was Sully's incredible flying skill and cool head that did it.

[@MrArticSwing]

Denying me over and over again doesn't prove YOUR point because your opinion of it is just a bad opinion. I provided you the denotation of the word it. In this sense it denotes an amazing event that was very unlikely to be possible. Accept it. YOU think it devalues his amazing flying ability but NO ONE else does.
