There's a new show about Flight 1549 soming out on Discovery Channel this Wednesday, March 4th at 10pm EST. Sounds interesting. They will be interviewing passengers and analyzing stuff. Things like that. Who's gonna' watch?

Did anyone watch this? The survivor accounts were very interesting. There was some previously unseen video too. They also put all the events into chronolagical order in a time till sinking clock came up frequently. A very interesting show to say the least. I am surprizde it got it's own Discovery Channel show though.

I'm not, this is big news here, happy news, so big networks are going to do what they can to cash in on it. I didn't get to watch it due to a Red Wings game being on
Ten bucks says it will be on again though!

I saw this yesterday. I thought it was interesting! I didn't know of all the mistakes he couldof made and killed all of the passengers.
Changes my thoughts on how good of a pilot he is and how great he did. I also didn't know they were jumping in the water after I thought I saw them all on the wing.
Brave people

Watched it and was really impressed at the analysis. Discovery does such great work.

Yeah, brave people for jumping into the Hudson by NYC as you never know what you might bump into. The Hudson is a tidal river even as far north as Poughkeepsie. Add to this what might "enter" the river from NYC....
A NYer would have stayed on the wing as long as possible.

There's an interesting unofficial analysis of this floating around the web. Written by a fellow Airbus pilot, who has also a lot of Boeing time, he essentially says had this been in a Boeing it wouldn't have turned out so well. The gist of it was that the Airbus, with it's computerized flight controls, handled the ditching almost perfectly where a similar Boeing, no matter how good the pilot input, would probably have cartwheeled. Of course, not the official version, but interesting.
THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER
