Re-animation of 1549 bird strike

[wantok]

Don't know if any of you seen this, but just got it in the mail today and thought I'd share it here. I know it'll be nearly a year since the incident, however as a pilot myself, I still cannot fathom Capt. Sully's insurmountable composure throughout the emergency phase of flight into the Hudson. The guy's got steel of nerves.

Amazing, the level of crew coordination going on in the cockpit. Both F/O Skiles and CPT Sullenburger, cool as cucumbers in a very desperate situation.

That was amazing, he was a great pilot and its a testiment to the strength of the Airbus design as much as his flying!

I remember watching the FSX/simulator reconstruction of the accident (can't remember the link) with the cockpit-ATC conversation super-imposed. At no time did Capt. Sully showed any sign of nervousness and indecision in his voice. He came across as if he had done it on a daily basis!!! (Not that we want that to happen :kilroy:)
