Here is amazing raw video from various surveillance cameras of the US Airways Flight 1549 crash landing into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. All 155 passengers aboard the plane survived in what is being called "Miracle on the Hudson."
www.isitpossibletomakemoneyonline.comFirst 5 mins of the crash in the Hudson River.An investigation has begun into what caused a passenger plane to have to make a forced landing into New York's Hudson River soon after take-off. Federal investigators will be working through the remains of the US Airways Airbus A320, which is tethered to a pier in Manhattan.Both engines are believed to have been disabled by a flock of birds. The pilot has been hailed as a hero after his smooth landing enabled all 155 passengers and crew to be rescued. Captain Chesley Sullenberger was praised by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg for his "masterful" landing.The state governor spoke of a "miracle on the Hudson". One person suffered two broken legs and paramedics treated 78 patients, most for minor injuries. Investigators have brought in a giant crane and a barge to help pull the jet out of the river, the Associated Press reports. Their focus is expected to be on recovering the black box and interviewing the crew about what happened. Flight 1549 departed LaGuardia en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, at 1526 local time (2026 GMT) on Thursday, after delays, said Laura Brown of the Federal Aviation Administration. "We believe it was airborne for three minutes after take-off when it crashed into the Hudson River," she said. The pilot reported a "double bird strike" less than a minute after take-off and asked to return to the ground, before ditching in the Hudson, an air controllers union spokesman said. Ferryboats arrived within minutes of the crash to begin the rescue as passengers emerged in life jackets.
US Airways Flight 1549 AIRBUS A320 US Airways Flight 1549 AIRBUS A320 Hudson River water landing Plane Crash Mayday Air Crash Investigation.An Airbus A320 plane with 155 people on board went into a chilly Hudson River, apparently after striking at least one bird upon takeoff from New York's LaGuardia Airport, according to officials and passengers. Everyone on board was accounted for and ALIVE, officials said.Passenger Fred Berretta. "It was quite stunning." He said he was expecting the plane to flip over and break apart, but it did not: "It was a great landing," The pilot of a US Airways jet managed to avoid disaster and save the lives of all 155 people on board his stricken plane when he ditched into the icy waters of the Hudson river moments after taking off from New York's LaGuardia airport.Flight 1549 was carrying 148 passengers, including a baby, five crew and two pilots, and all of them escaped.Captain Chesley Sullenberger, has 29 years' experience with commercial airlines and is a former US airforce fighter pilot.With both his twin engines in trouble, one apparently on fire, and with the nearest airport out of range, he calmly brought the plane to land on the river on the west side of Manhattan.Sullenberger then helped passengers escape to rescue boats, and twice walked the length of the passenger cabin inside the sinking jet to check that everyone had got out safely, before escaping himself.The Airbus 320 took off from LaGuardia bound for Charlotte in North Carolina at 3.26pm. A mere 30 to 45 seconds after take-off there was a bang and the aircraft shook, believed to have been caused by it striking a flock of geese.The pilot reported to air traffic control that he was experiencing engine problems and requested to return to ground. The nearest identified airport was in New Jersey, but when it became clear he could not make it, the pilot prepared for a crash landing on the Hudson. "Brace yourself for impact," he told the passengers.Seconds later the plane struck the Hudson, on a line with 48th Street in midtown Manhattan, turning a stretch of waterway normally populated by tourists enjoying a waterside view of the skyscrapers into an astonishing fight for survival.Eyewitnesses reported seeing a splash and the plane coming to an immediate stop; it looked so controlled that some witnesses mistook it for the landing of a seaplane. "I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And splash, it hit the water," said one witness, Barbara Sambriski.Jeff Kolodjay, one of the passengers, said that after take-off they had heard a bang and the plane filled with smoke from the left engine. "It was pretty scary, man. We got out by the luck of God. I take my hat off to the pilot it was incredible we all made it off alive."Another passenger, Alberto Panero, said: "I want to say thank you to that pilot. It was as good a landing as you can make in a river." He said that passengers had begun praying as it came in low over the river, but all had remained calm.The survival of all on board appears to have been thanks to a combination of the plane remaining intact on impact and almost immediate assistance from at least seven water taxis and tugs which swarmed around the jet. Doors were opened quickly at the front of the aircraft and over the wings, and passengers either stepped straight into the boats or stood in line on rafts, or on top of the wings which acted as buoyancy and kept the plane afloat.By the time all had been taken on to the rescue boats, the plane had water up to its windows and was floating rapidly southwards in the outgoing tide. Several passengers were taken to hospitals in New York and New Jersey, but their injuries were reported to be no more serious than mild hypothermia, shock, cuts and bruises."Normally this isn't the way people arrive in New York," said the city's mayor Michael Bloomberg. "But as long as everyone got off safely that's secondary."A team of 20 investigators from the National Transportation and Safety Board has been dispatched to root out the causes of the plane failure.Witnesses suggested that the engine trouble was caused by the plane flying into a flock of geese a perennial threat at New York airports as a result of the city lying on a well-used migratory path for birds.One puzzle, though, is why both engines cut out. The left engine appeared to have caught fire, but pilots are usually able to bring a plane into an emergency landing with just one engine working.An air incident investigator, David Gleave, told the BBC that the incident was "quite remarkable, but not unique". He said if both engines of the plane had failed, the aircraft would become like a "glider".US Airways Flight 1549 Hudson River Perfect Landing AIRBUS A320 SAFETY.US Airways Flight 1549 Mayday Air Crash Investigation.

Jan. 15 - A U.S. Airways airplane has crashed into the Hudson River. The plane appears to be in one piece and passengers are being evaucated by rescue teams.Officials say the airplane is Flight 1549, an Airbus a320 that took off from La Guardia Aiport and headed to Charlotte, N.C. There are reports that there were 151 people on board. It went down around 3:30 p.m.There are reports that the a bird strike may have caused the plane to go down, meaning a bird may have entered the engine, causing a malfunction. A large flock of geese was said to have flown in front of the plane at the time of the bird strike.The bird strike disabled both engines."Flames could be seen shooting out of the left engine," said CBS 2 Engineer Bob Simms, who witnessed the crash. "It was just horrible to see."The flight was in air for about six minutes before it went down, at a maximum altitude of 3,200 feet. It went down around 46th Street in Manhattan and before the fuselage came to a rest around 23rd Street. It's believed the pilots conducted a very controlled emergency landing after the engines went out, likely why the plane was able to remain upright as it landed."You have compromised engines, you don't have much altitude, you don't have much speedit looks like a remarkable effort," said CBS News Analyst Bob Orr.Passengers could be seen standing on the wing of the plane and entering rescue boats, and a rescue ferry. More than 100 firefighters are on the scene. Passengers were being treated for hypothermia and shock, according to CBS 2's Marcia Kramer.According to Kramer, survivors told her that about two minutes after takeoff, a loud "boom" was heard and the plane began descending. She reported seeing a flight attendant being taken away on a stretcher, though she said it appeared that was among the more serious injuries."It was just going down further and further and further and then all of a sudden it was gone," a witness named Peter Chinchino told CBS 2. "I'm shaking, it was crazy. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There was nothing wrong with the plane, it wasn't wobbling, there was no smoke coming out of it!"City officials have called a massive casualty emergency, though it's not yet known if there are any deaths.There is no word on injuries to passengers.The plane is floating upright in the water near the USS Intrepid. Temperatures at the time of the crash in the city were just about 20 degrees, with the water temperature about 40 degrees.According to Dr. Max Gomez, a person in 40 degree water will likely lose consciousness after 30 minutes.The FBI is reporting that there is no indication that terrorist activity was involved in the crash.
The plane is an Airbus 320, US Airways flight 1549 from LaGuardia to Charlotte NC. There were 150 passengers on board the flight, along with 5 crew members. The FAA is reporting all passengers are out of the plane, and a secondary search is underway. Video # 01

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A US Airways plane was down in the Hudson River on Thursday after attempting to take off from LaGuardia Airport, officials said.US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320, was headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, the Federal Aviation Administration said.A passenger said he was "pretty sure" everybody on the plane got out."Somehow, the plane stayed afloat and we were all able to get on a raft," said the passenger, Alberto Panero. "It's just incredible now that everyone's still alive."A New Jersey State Police source told CNN the pilot radioed to air traffic controllers that he had experienced a bird strike -- when a bird or flock of birds is sucked into the jet engine -- and declared an emergency. Watch footage of plane in water »FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown also said preliminary information indicates a bird strike. The plane was in the air for about three minutes before it went down, the FAA said.U.S. Coast Guard units were responding, and a ferry on site was dropping life jackets into the water. The New York Times, citing a local TV station, reported that the aircraft had 146 passengers and 5 crew members aboard. The pilot tried to return to the airport when the plane fell into the Hudson, the Times reported. The Times said it was below 20 degrees in New York at the time the plane went down. A couple of minutes after takeoff, "we just heard a loud bang," Panero said."The plane shook a bit and ... you could smell smoke and fire and immediately the plane started turning," Panero said. "All of a sudden, the captain came on and said, 'Brace for landing,' and that's when we knew we were going down."The plane approached the water at a gradual angle and made a big splash, according to a witness watching from an office building."It wasn't going particularly fast. It was a slow contact with the water that it made," said the witness, Ben Vonklemperer."It appeared not to have landing gear engaged. This was bigger than a puddle-jumper or sea plane. It was a silver aircraft and it basically just hit the water," Vonklemperer added.An Airbus A320 has 150 seats -- 12 in first class and 138 in economy, according to the Airbus Web site. People who believe they may have had relatives on the flight may call US Airways at 1-800-679-8215 within the United States, the airline said.

US Airways A320 Flight 1549 Hudson River AIRBUS A320 water landing caught on CCTV CameraThe National Transportation Safety Board and other agencies are investigating not only what went wrong, but also what went right Thursday when a US Airways flight ended in the Hudson River without any deaths or major injuries.The aircraft remains in the Hudson River on Friday. Workers hope to lift it out Saturday morning.The aircraft remains in the Hudson River on Friday. Workers hope to lift it out Saturday morning."Having a successful ditching is a very rare event," Kitty Higgins of the NTSB said Friday."We'll not only celebrate what worked here, but also learn what worked. So many times you're only focused on what went wrong. A lot of things went right yesterday."Divers struggled against strong currents and frigid water temperatures to retrieve critical pieces of the puzzle from the Hudson River, where US Airways flight 1549 ended up less than three minutes after it took off from New York's LaGuardia Airport Thursday afternoon.The flight data and cockpit voice recorders -- both critical to determining exactly what happened -- remained attached to the tail section of the aircraft, which was still partially submerged but secured to moorings. Video Watch a former pilot tell how to water-land a plane »Workers will be at the site until midnight, rigging the aircraft so it can be lifted out Saturday morning, attached to a barge and moved to a secure location for investigation, Higgins said.Both engines from the Airbus A320 double-engine jet were on the river bottom, after the water landing's impact apparently detached them from the plane. Authorities are using side-scan sonar to locate the engines, Higgins said. The engines also will be brought in as part of the investigation into what happened, including the possibility of bird strikes."I don't want to characterize anything at this point about this particular accident because we are just at the beginning stages," Higgins said, adding that this accident would be the first "in a very long time" where possible bird strikes may have been a factor. Video Watch water wash over the plane »Meanwhile, passengers, city officials and aviation experts heaped praise on pilot Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger and his crew, as well as first responders who acted quickly to minimize passengers' injuries in below-freezing temperatures and frigid water.The White House said President Bush called Sullenberger to praise him for "his heroic efforts to ensure the safety of his passengers and the people in the area."New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sullenberger executed an "incredibly skillful emergency landing." The pilot and crew of the flight will receive the key to the city, he told reporters Friday. "We typically like you to land at our airports," he joked, but said the water landing worked out with the best possible outcome. Video Watch Bloomberg honor heroism »"We saw a lot of heroism in the Hudson yesterday," Bloomberg said.The mayor also gave certificates of appreciation to first responders who scrambled to help passengers to safety.Shortly after the flight, bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, took off at 3:26 p.m. Thursday, passengers noticed quickly that something was awry. See a map of the plane's flight path »A source familiar with the situation told CNN that Sullenberger reported a double bird strike, which was taken to mean that birds were sucked into both the jet's engines. The FAA said witnesses reported seeing the plane hit a flock of birds.Sullenberger was given clearance to return to LaGuardia for an emergency landing, a source said, but instead, he was forced to find someplace else to ditch the plane. In crowded New York City, the Hudson River provided the best option. Video Watch how the landing and rescue happened »After the plane came to a stop, passengers quickly got out, standing on the partially submerged wings or on the emergency exit chutes, which also serve as life rafts.New York Waterway Capt. Vince Lombardi, operating a ferry in the Hudson, said he noticed something in the water as the boat pulled out of Pier 70."I said to my deck hand, 'That's an odd-looking boat,' " he told reporters Friday. "He said, 'I think that's an airplane.' "The ferry headed straight for the plane, he said."I was a little overwhelmed and scared for the people. The water is about 32 degrees. The outside air temp was in the 20s. We were worried if we didn't get them out right away, there would be casualties."As he arrived, he said, most passengers were calm, but some were cheering and crying. Some said, "Get me out of the water, please, I'm cold."
Minutes after he reported hitting birds and losing power in both engines, the pilot of US Airways Flight 1549 calmly told an air traffic controller the plane would ditch into the Hudson River."We can't do it," pilot Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger said at 3:29 p.m. on January 15, in response to efforts to land the plane at New Jersey's Teterboro airport, according to a recording released Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration.http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/05/1549...
A real hero for our times, Chesley B. "Sully" SullenbergerChesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger, III was the last person to leave US Airways Flight 1549 — a true captain, he swept the center aisle twice to ensure no one else was still on board.Sullenberger appears to have landed a plane as safely as possible on the Hudson River, as all passengers survived, including one baby. Even the airplane's manufacturer was impressed, telling the Daily News, "Ditching an aircraft is a significant accomplishment on the part of the pilot, as opposed to crashing one." In fact, no one in 45 years has crash-landed an airplane in the water with no fatalities, the tabloid said.http://tinyurl.com/89hubtNone of this is meant in any way to detract from the absolutely First Rate Response of the First Responders, The Ferries, the Tug Boats, the Coast Guard, The FDNY, The FBI, the JTTF, the NYPD, THE PARAMEDICS, AND THE CO-PILOT OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THE CREWS OF ALL THE ABOVE and The Air Traffic Controller---The ATC!!My apologies to the technically proficient who have noticed that the body color of the representative Airbus A320-A is the reverse of the subject aircraft given the absence of a complete set of similar aircraft as represented in the first parts of the movie. Also excuse, please, the persons in street scenes obviously taken during the summer or any other season than the very cold day that New Yorkers were enduring on January 15, 2009....

Kirby Chambliss' canopy accidentally pops open during a practice round at the 2007 Red Bull Air Race in Interlaken. Check out his face while he's trying to pull it shut and land.http://redbullairrace.com
Highlights from the final race between the Hungarian, Peter Besenyei, and the American, Mike Mangold. Blazing desert temperatures of 38 degrees Celsius, a new knock-out system, a worthy winner rewarded for his four flawless runs and an enthusiastic crowd of 250,000. The 2007 season opener of the Red Bull Air Race World Series had all the right ingredients and was topped off by a heart-stopping final -- Hungary's Peter Besenyei edged American Mike Mangold by a narrow 1.03-second advantage.http://redbullairrace.com
