Amazing! I just cannot believe that everyone has survived – bravo!
Hats off to the pilots and crew; they all deserve medals!:)
An interesting point was just made on Sky News by an air accident investigator, he says and I can almost quote him word-for-word that “no amount of training will of prepared the flight deck crew for such an occurance.”
Could that honestly be true?
I find that statement rather hard to believe, and would suspect he’s exaggerating things somewhat, but am happy to be corrected otherwise?:confused:
I think maybe he was referring to every situation being different and the individual circumstances are things you can’t train for? especially in this one with a city like New York with high rise buildings, the river, suitable landing sites and the like.
In the end the weather may of been alot worse such as heavy wind making the water unsuitable etc.
EDIT: As old shape said below the Hudson is a busy river! that’s also obviously played a major factor in this and luckily it was clear enough for him to land.
