Sully (2016) - Rescuing Passengers

[@laurencefox5884]

When you read about this event, you realise how profoundly skilled Sully was. There is no way that most people on that plane should have survived, and the losses could have been far worse. He landed a full passenger jet a river in the middle of New York in winter...and there were no casualties. Extraordinary.

[@danielhaire6677]

As the board at the end put it when they factored in everything, only Sully stood out as variable X. Replace him with anyone else, and this landing failed. And Sully, in humility, claimed it was everyone that day who pulled a miracle, not just him.

[@laurencefox5884]

A textbook landing. An idol for every pilot out there

[@LAK_770]

Sully himself would probably say that anyone with his level of training could have done it. I don’t underestimate any of these frosty ex-Air Force guys, but it’s probably somewhere in the middle between “miracle” and “doable with enough skill”. Even Sully would likely fail this landing on many if not most attempts, and at least damage the plane enough that it sinks faster and some people don’t make it. But I think the fact that he did it first try means it’s by definition very unlikely to be a near-impossible landing. But only if you have tens of thousands of hours under your belt and a remarkably cool head.

The Evacuation of New York City during 9/11 was the largest amphibious operation in Human History. It was over three times the size of D-Day, one and a half times the size of the Miracle of Dunkirk, and took only nine hours to completely evacuate over half a million people from the island under attack. Never doubt the ability of the naval forces of New York. Their history is from America's birth at the age of sail, their honor and ability beyond reproach.

Considering New York's history with plane crashes in the 21st century I can't imagine how emotionally determined to help those people were. I mean that city was attacked by hijackers who crashed planes with passengers in them to kill even more people. I'm no New Yorker but if I had been there on 9/11 feeling powerless to do anything, and working on those ferries the same day that plane crashed in the Hudson I wouldn't hesitate at the opportunity to make sure those people were rescued.

Just this once: everybody lives! Also while all the props in the world go to the ferrymen, Sully, Skiles, and the flight crew, major props also have to be given to the passengers. There was fear, there was terror, but there wasn't any panic. They listened to the flight crew, they were as patient as the circumstances allowed for the ferries, they helped each other...this could have turned into a stampede, but it didn't.

They got trapped by barricades, nobody knew what was happening, and it was chaos. The ferries and a zillion small, private boats from Jersey headed to the scene and loaded people up, taking them to safety. Those captains had no idea what they were heading into, but went anyway. I saw a documentary about it and just sobbed thru it. Amazing how people responded to save strangers. ❤️

While Sully is obvious an amazing pilot, the most underrated people to also get credit are the Passangers. 99% of you do not know this but crowds that panic are MORE dangerous than fires, crashes, sinking, etc. Aeroflot Flight 1492 caught fire on the runway and 41 burned to death because they couldn't get out while they had to wait for passengers who wasting time and garbed their overhead luggage, its one of the most pathetic and disgusting evacuation moments ever recorded. The Station Nightclub fire where EVERYONE could have easily survived if they stayed calm was another sad moment where the bodies of escaping victims clogged the door and 100 people burned to death Point is, Sully and the Crew did an amazing job, BUT they are trained for this! The passengers preformed admirably not panicking or causing anyone to get injured. They stayed calm, and BRAVO to them for keeping cool heads just like their crew.

Seven years earlier the ferries did the exact same thing on 9/11.

Le poids ne fait donc rien à l'affaire (ni la nature de l'appareil, qui n'est pas un navire) Quant au poids des passagers sur les ailes, (10 tonnes supplémentaires) 🤔 : ça ne change rien non plus sur la flottabilité de l'appareil, simplement plus il sera lourd, et moins il flottera longtemps.

Life vests onboard the plane: _My Time has come_

And yet, only like 5 people even grabbed them. Everyone else is just chilling on the wings, vestless.

I am grateful that in times of crisis and tragedy we come together as a nation and as humans. But I wish we could come together and be more kind and peaceful regularly and not just in situations like this. Politics, need to not be far left or far right. Meeting halfway is the only way to heal this nation. Because there is a cold civil war going on.

The water rescue response was so natural too. Those boat pilots remembered seven years before, when some of them helped with the largest maritime rescue in history, and they were like, "We got this. This is a piece of cake compared to the evacuation of lower Manhattan."

Imagine what the passengers felt like, while climbing out of the plane and hearing several boats repeatedly sounding 5 shorts, and every time they sound their horns it is noticeably closer! Looking towards the sound and seeing the Professional crew rigging their boat for rescue and that their boat "has a bone in her teeth" as she closes rapidly.....

when having to crash landd its more important how many survived than where you landed.

That guy screaming "HEY!" at 0:59 is the real hero
