It’s Been Ten Years Since The Miracle On The Hudson – Captain Sully’s Cockpit Audio Still Gives Me Chills
It’s been ten years since Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger managed to miraculously land a US Airways on the Hudson River in what has since become known as the “Miracle On The Hudson.”
Though it’s been a decade, the audio from Sullenberger’s cockpit is still as harrowing to listen to as ever.
On the afternoon of January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 collided with a flock of Canadian geese, knocking out both of the plane’s engines.
Realizing that he could not make it back to LaGuardia Airport, former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Sullenberger was able to save the lives of everyone onboard the plane by landing in the Hudson River.
