Thank god everyone survived. The warm waters were a blessing. When you look at the split fuselage
it really makes you appreciate what a good job Capt Sully did with the Cactus Hudson River landing.
I was thinking the same thing. The Hudson landing was an amazing job. I am guessing that new plane will be junk?
I think also much about Ethiopean 961 crash in 96 after running out of fuel as well as being hijacked, that plane crashed in shallow water and many did not survived due to many activated their life vests in which maybe all would have survived. Water landings are dangerous but did save the life of everyone on US1549 because mainly thanks to one of the best USAirways crew and espeacialy that Sully landed the plane smoothly in the Hudson. Now for this Lion Air, Im shocked to see that all 108 survived this, Also the same thing happened to a China Airlines Boeing 747-400 in Kai Tak back in 1993 where again it overaned the runway and ended up in the water in which all did survived
As for what everybody else is saying, it really shows you how good of a job sully really did... As you can see from the cracked fuselage, it would have been easy for sully to really mess things Up!
Hey I broke this story 2 hours before you did!! No credit?? Dang nabit!!!!! :tongue::mad::confused::rolleyes::cool:
Saw a picture in todays paper, looks like breakers just 100 feet or so in front of the plane. Luckily it didn't go into deap water.
