Simulation: Not-Wasserung aus Sicht des Piloten

[heinz-w]

Der britische Fernsehsender BBC hat eine Simulation der spektakulären Notlandung eines Airbus 320 im New Yorker Hudson River anfertigen lassen. Das Video zeigt auf beeindruckende Weise, welche Meisterleistung der Kapitän vollbrachte.

Lediglich drei Minuten war die Maschine der US Airways in der Luft, bevor Flugkapitän Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger (57) das nach einer Kollision mit Vögeln antriebslose Flugzeug im Hudson notlandete. Dass der Airbus dabei nicht zerbrach verdankten die Passagiere dem perfekten Anflugwinkel bei der Wasserung. In dem Beitrag von BBC wird außerdem gezeigt, welch verheerende Auswirkungen ein falscher Anflugwinkel haben kann.

That what happened on that day was a true miracle.... And everytime I look at at it it gives me a great feeling that airplanes can actually survive a major breakdown. (in this case both engines u/s)

What wonders me is that the captain never has been seen before the camera... May be he does not want the publicity, wich I can imagine.

Now, afer a few days after the mishap, more and more videos come out, and as I was ´youtubbing´ (is taht a new word??)
a came to a video where captain Sullenberger speaks to the passengers.....

First I thought it was real, but after a few seconds into the fragment you know it a joke.

Because the mishap came to a good end, I think I can put the link here...

He was present at the inauguration ceremony in Washington on Tuesday. Apparently on the President's personal invitation... Here's a photo taken during the ceremony:

Skiles (right), the pilot and co-pilot respectively who successfully ditched US Airways Flight 1549 into the Hudson River with no lives lost, attending the inauguration of President Barack Obama five days later, on Obama's invitation. The man in front is Kentucky senator (and baseball Hall-of-Famer) Jim Bunning.
