The miracle on the Hudson took place. An absolutely amazing event. Still gives me goosebumps when thinking about it. Talk about the right person being in the right place at the right time.
shareA glider certificate should be required for all pilots!
shareHave you seen the movie, "Sully"?
If so, was it good? I have yet to see it.
I've seen it and I thought it was a well-done story of an everyday hero. I'd rate it 8/10, partly because of how it shows what happened right after the water landing (yes, I'm sure some dramatic license was taken, but still...) and the ensuing investigation.
shareYes, it was excellent. Tom Hanks is a great actor, and he was perfect in Sully. I recommend it highly.
share👍 Tom Hanks - one of my all-time favorite actors!
shareThanks to you both. I will eventually watch it. I really like Hanks too.
Like everyone else, I find the whole thing miraculous! I watched Good Morning America today. They had some of the passengers from the plane on the show. One man says that since that day, he has made a bucket list and has tried to do things he probably never would have done, had it not been for that day. I think that one of the other guys mentioned more travel!
the movie was a bit lacking
shareHow so?
shareThe landing scene was well done but it was all padding after that.
shareYou found nothing of interest after that? I thought the investigation was interesting. I remember reading that the portrayal of NTSB investigators was not accurate - Captain Sullenberger and the NTSB objected to the way it was presented, but if nothing else, it shows how much effort goes into figuring out what happened and why.
