Interesting 7 minute video. Reconstruction of US Airways flt 1549 La Guardia to the Hudson river..
Edited on Sun Nov-29-09 01:14 AM by A HERETIC I AM
Using a flight simulator to reconstruct the flight. The video begins as the aircraft starts its takeoff roll and includes dialogue boxes of Captain Sullenberger and First Officer Skiles communications with each other and La Guardia tower as well as a dialogue box for the tower/departure controller.

10. I got in one...but it's what I do for a living.
Obviously a pilot in this situation is occupied, but as an air traffic controller I found myself jonesing for pilot feedback...even though I already knew what happened.

3. Sully: Got any ideas? Skiles: Actually not
Those were two cool customers. Those passengers were in good hands.
