READ MOREAnimation of USAir 1549
The following is an amazing real time recreation with the voices of air controllers and USAir pilots. I am even more in awe of Captain Sullenberger now than I was before. You realize how calm he was and how fast he had to react. All we hear are his conversations with air traffic controllers and […]
