Sully (2016) Edit

A choice that endangered the lives of all of those onboard.

A dual engine loss due to bird strike.

A little bit.

A lot of toes were stepped on in order to set this up for today.

A pilot never stops acquiring knowledge.

A real pleasure to meet you.

About how we got to meet David Letterman.

Absolutely, sir.

Absolutely.

ACARS data relayed that the left engine

Activate confirm.

Actually not.

After a US Airways Flight crashes into the Hudson River,

After interviewing each player,

After running through every scenario,

After what you did,

After what you just went through, 110 is extraordinary.

Agreed.

Ah, come on, Sully.

Ah, so unbelievable.

Ah. You know, I don't know.

Air traffic control,

Air Traffic testified

Airbus completed their computer simulations as well.

Airbus has agreed to link us via satellite

Aircraft Performance, ATC,

Airspeed. Optimum relight, 300 knots.

Al, stack all the inbounds to LaGuardia.

All right, folks.

All right, give me your hand.

All right, I'm on it.

All right, let's put the flaps out. Put the flaps out.

All right, you guys go. Go. I'll be right behind you.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Be down there in five minutes.

All right. Gear in three.

All right. You are confirmed.

All series near the Intrepid, plane down.

Along with ATC and all onboard transcripts combined,

Also Aircraft Structures, MRT,

Although no one'll believe her.

And 6C.

And a result that was, frankly, astounding.

And all of the passengers, the rescue workers,

And because of the events of January 15, 2009,

And don life vests now!

And every crash you investigated are not the purview of this investigation.

And everybody lived?

And get some extra life jackets out there.

And headquarters in three states.

And I have significant accident investigation experience.

And I hear good things.

And I hear good things.

And I know, because I had the QRH in my hands.

And I open the Christmas cards.

And I open the letters that come to our house from your families.

And I would do it again.

And I'd bet my life on it.

And I'm alone and not enough sleep.

And I'm one of them.

And it would have eliminated all the other options.

And LaGuardia runways 2 2 and 1 3.

And never forget, no matter what's happening,

And not just 155 faces, but the other faces,

And not just possible, probable.

And now we are watching actual sims.

And of course, the inexplicably precise timing of the pilot.

And of the ferry boat captains,

And ride shotgun with you the rest of the way.

And the resulting computer simulations of US Airways Flight 1549

And their insurance company.

And then, miraculously, you don't.

And they weren't there.

And we appreciate your perspective.

And we will be listening to it for the first time

And wrap up in a blanket from the Red Cross.

And you, you were right there, through all that distraction.

Answer!

Anything in New Jersey? Maybe T eterboro?

Anything in New Jersey? Maybe Teterboro?

Anything you would have done differently

Are committed to protecting your privacy.

Are they paying you

Are you blinded by the leg kick?

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Arnie.

As I began the left turn,

As part of our investigation.

Ask the passengers.

At a lower altitude than any jet in history.

ATC notified. Squawk 7700.

Attention, all aircraft in the vicinity of the GW.

Auto pilot off. Flight Director off.

Auto pilot's off.

Aviation engineers are theorizing

Avoiding a stall.

Be sure you turn that off.

Became a man for all time.

Because the media request avalanche continues.

Because they really do make a difference to us as well.

Been 10 seconds, Captain. Come on.

Before he actually pulled it off.

Before our testimony is complete.

Before the simulation we just witnessed.

Best day of the year.

Birds!

Birds!

Birds.

Birds.

Birds.

Both engines.

Both. Both engines.

Bound for Charlotte, North Carolina,

Brace for impact.

Brace for impact.

Brace, brace, brace!

Brace, brace, brace!

Brace, brace, brace!

Brace, brace, brace!

Breathalyzer, urine samples, it's standard.

But all the flights you piloted before January 15th

But be cool.

But choosing to land on the Hudson, that was still a big if.

But everyone, everyone, survived.

But I have to go.

But I will.

But in the end, I'm gonna be judged on 208 seconds.

But just tell me you'll be back in the air soon.

But she'll be okay?

But that doesn't make sense.

But that's next week in Toulouse. Can you get them to reschedule?

But they've clearly been instructed to head for the airport

But we can circle back to that later.

But we now know it was the wrong choice.

But we'll keep her a day or two to stem the infection.

But what still seems so hard to believe

But when you can put faces to it

But you did not.

But, Sully, listen. You've done enough. Let me take it from here.

Cactus 1549 is low level above the Hudson.

Cactus 1549 needs to go to the airport right now.

Cactus 1549 over the GW Bridge.

Cactus 1549,

Cactus 1549, do you read me?

Cactus 1549, gate 21 cleared to push.

Cactus 1549, if we can get it for you,

Cactus 1549, if we can get it for you,

Cactus 1549, if we can get it for you, do you wanna try to land runway 1 3?

Cactus 1549, if you can,

Cactus 1549, it's gonna be left traffic, runway 3 1.

Cactus 1549, radar contact lost.

Cactus 1549, radar contact lost.

Cactus 1549, this is departure control. On guard, do you read?

Cactus 1549, turn right 2 8 0.

Cactus 1549, you wanna

Cactus 1549.

Cactus 1549. Cleared for takeoff.

Cactus 1549. Cleared for takeoff.

Calm down. You'll be fine.

Can we get a couple more blankets over here?

Can we get serious now?

Can we, uh, listen to what actually did?

Can you believe they charge $5 for a Snickers?

Can you believe we made it?

Can you make it happen?

Captain Sullenberger?

Captain Sully!

Captain Sully! Sully!

Captain, have you had any troubles at home lately?

Captain! Come back!

Captain! We have to go!

Captain?

Captain. I'm here to escort you to meet with Mayor Bloomberg

Caution, obstacle.

Caution, obstacle.

Check. Does he need assistance?

Choosing to land on the Hudson, that was a big if.

Clear of conflict.

Clear the board for a damage check.

Coast Guard sector New York, channel 1 6, Thomas Jefferson.

Come forward!

Come on, buddy.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, guys, stay on point.

Come on, Mike. What are they gonna say? That he shouldn't have saved everybody?

Come on!

Come on!

Come on.

Come on. Answer.

Come on. One at a time.

Come on. She can't move.

Come on. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day.

Computer sims will prove you were right. We can all put our wings back on.

Continued to turn throughout the flight.

Damn, Pete. He's everywhere!

Dan, because it was a domestic flight...

Dan, I need to know who's hurt and how badly, and I need a count.

Dan!

Del Frisco's. On me.

Dennis Eckersley is without question

Departure control, we can make it.

Departure control, we can make it.

Deploy that man overboard ladder right away.

Did I tell you that already? I apologize if I didn't tell you.

Distress message transmit. We did that.

Do you wanna try to land runway 1 3?

Do you wanna try to land runway 1 3?

Does anyone need to see more simulations?

Doesn't jibe with everything I felt in the cockpit.

Don't get me wrong. Actually, it's a compliment.

Don't go in the river.

Don't go in the river.

Don't think he'll be discerning what gift came from where.

Don't worry. You did a great thing.

Drugs?

Dry cleaning?

Due to multiple bird strikes?

Easy. Go easy.

Elizabeth.

Evacuate.

Evacuate.

Evacuate.

Ever hear that in any other aspect of your lives?

Every computer simulation demonstrated that a return was possible.

Every computer simulation with the exact flight parameters

Everybody's okay. Help is on the way.

Everyone, keep moving forward.

Everyone, might be a good idea just to keep your seat belts on.

Everyone! The aft exits are unusable.

Everyone's been pulled off. It's a miracle!

Everyone's gonna have to get used to it, including the NTSB.

Everything you faced when you made your decision.

Exactly.

FAC 1 off, then on.

Fairly severe laceration.

Feet first. Slide slowly and gently.

Ferry boat crews and the scuba cops.

Fifteenth.

Fifty yards, go!

Fifty, 40, 30, 20...

Fifty, 40, 30, 20...

Finally!

Fine. Come on.

First Officer Skiles, is there anything you'd like to add?

First Officer Skiles?

First Officer Skiles?

Five compressor blades were fractured

Five hundred.

Flaps out.

Flaps two.

Flaps two.

Flight is closed.

Flight path vector.

Flight slow.

Fly out of JFK.

Follow your instructions.

Followed by an immediate water landing

For a successful return to LaGuardia.

For all this media stuff at least?

For now, they remain confidential.

For the gratitude that you've expressed to our families

For the NTSB investigation.

For the record,

For the record,

For the record, we had an Aircraft Systems Team

For these simulations?

Forty, 30, 20...

Friday's headline? This is beautiful.

Fucking cold out here.

Funny.

Gear up.

Gentlemen,

Gentlemen, headsets.

Get him a blanket, fast.

Get out the QRH.

Get out the QRH.

Get the checklist.

Get those first aid kits up to the bow

Girls, turn on the TV.

Give him some room.

Give me a heading 3 1 0.

Give me your hand, sir. It's okay.

Give me your hand.

Go ahead. Try number one.

Go easy.

Go slowly. Blanket.

Go! Exit! Go, go!

God, I just can't believe this.

Going for 1 3.

Good afternoon, Gursimran.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome.

Good. Good, that'll help.

Got a count.

Got you.

Grab on.

Grab your life vests, please.

Great.

Hack the time.

Has about 300 of New York's finest ready to help them.

Have a blessed day.

He is not able to speak to the media

He likes to throw everything.

He lost both engines. Returning immediately.

He lost thrust in both engines, he said.

He switched on the APU immediately after engine rollback.

He was simply following the QRH.

He wasn't following proper procedure at all.

He'll come back up.

He's back there, can you see him?

He's going down.

He's headed to Newark, seven miles. It's only seven miles.

He's out there.

Heading 3 1 0.

Heading sub 2 9 8.

Heads down, stay down!

Heads down, stay down!

Heads down, stay down!

Hearing the CVR just now?

Hell, I'm standing here with you right now and I don't believe it.

Her name is Brenda,

Here we go.

Here we go.

Here you go, Captain. This way.

Here. There you go.

Here's a floatation device. Take that.

Here's the funny thing.

Hey, guys, I'm in here.

Hey, guys! Jeff!

Hey, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Hey, Larry. Good to see a friendly face.

Hey, listen.

Hey, little man.

Hey, Lorrie.

Hey, maybe when I wake up, it'll be January 14th.

Hey, Mike. How about we add the driver as a character witness?

Hey, no one dies today.

Hey, Patty.

Hey, Sully. Let me...

Hey, you did good.

Hey.

Hey...

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you before the hearing.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you before the hearing.

Hi. I'm sorry.

His options severely limited,

His voice was so calm.

Hit birds. We've lost thrust on both engines.

Hmm.

Hold it right there, baby. Come on.

Honey, it's me.

How are you holding up?

How do you feel when people call you a hero?

How does it feel to be a miracle maker?

How is Doreen?

How many people are traveling?

How much sleep did you get the night before?

How much time did the pilots spend planning for this event?

Huh. I guess you haven't heard. He landed the son of a bitch!

Human piloted simulations

I am so sorry. I love you.

I am the keeper of the mail.

I can say with absolute confidence

I can't hear you. Call me back.

I cannot believe you have the sack to say that.

I could bankrupt the airline in about four bites.

I could hear you shouting my name the whole time.

I could've made it back to LaGuardia safely.

I couldn't see you. I couldn't find you.

I didn't call Lorrie since this morning. Apparently everyone else did.

I do.

I don't feel like a hero.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't like not being in control of the process.

I don't think we can make any runway.

I eyeballed it.

I googled you last night.

I got an A320 diving for the river.

I got it.

I got shaving cream, razor blades, toothpaste.

I guess I'm having a little trouble

I guess it is.

I had to rely on my experience of managing the altitude and speed

I have a right to see the simulations and I have a feeling that

I have an emergency flight control malfunction.

I have an emergency.

I have read countless CVR transcripts of deceased pilots

I have visual on the runway.

I just needed to hear your voice.

I know that Airbus has simulations scheduled for the S22 sim at the factory.

I know.

I lost Cactus 1549 in the Hudson.

I love you, and I'm okay. Tell the girls I am okay.

I love you, Mom.

I love you, son.

I love you, too.

I love you, too.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you. Get some sleep.

I mean, the plane crashed

I need to take a quick break.

I realized it's only you.

I realized just now, for the first time, that there were...

I shouted back. I guess the river...

I sure as hell agree with that.

I think I'll play the seven iron on the 9th.

I think today was as much and as good for me and my crew as it was for you.

I thought I lost them all.

I want to inform you that the left engine has been recovered.

I want you to know, I did the best I could.

I wanted to call to say I'm okay.

I was on the other wing. They brought us to Jersey.

I was sure I was gonna die.

I will call you from the pier when things quiet down.

I will talk to the chairman, see what we can work out.

I will talk to the chairman, see what we can work out.

I won't take your time, gentlemen.

I would have done it in July.

I would like to go over the parameters that were used.

I would like to oversee those computer simulations.

I'd better go.

I'd like to add something on a personal note.

I'd like to call this hearing back to order.

I'd like to know how many times the pilot practiced that maneuver

I'd think that Katie couldn't be too intimidating.

I'll answer that question when we've counted 155.

I'll call you when they're done with me.

I'll check the cabin.

I'll get you a snow globe, too.

I'll never get over how beautiful it is up here.

I'll say it again.

I'll see you later, Sully.

I'll try. It's a lot of phone calls to make.

I'm convinced that we will be joined in our hearts and in our minds forever.

I'm glad you could make it in this morning.

I'm gonna be on TV in the morning.

I'm gonna call John Carey. We're gonna get you a count.

I'm gonna give you direct to Teterboro.

I'm gonna give you direct to Teterboro.

I'm gonna start charging you for this stuff, all right?

I'm gonna take you right to the ambulance, all right?

I'm hoping six months from now, we'll just be laughing

I'm just a man who was doing his job.

I'm just anxious

I'm just getting it going.

I'm just so damn proud.

I'm more of a porterhouse man.

I'm more worried about your career as a pilot.

I'm not questioning the pilots.

I'm okay, Mom. I'm okay.

I'm okay, not a scratch somehow.

I'm overwhelmed by all this attention.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to call so late.

I'm sorry, Patrick.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Say again, Cactus?

I'm sorry. Say again, Cactus?

I'm staying on this.

I'm thinking about running over the press with the car.

I've been assigned by the National Transportation Safety Board

I've been hearing everybody else's.

I've been waiting for a year for this trip, Dad.

I've checked the latest reports.

I've delivered a million passengers over 40 years in the air,

I've never been so happy to be in New York in my life.

If anybody's got any problems, just wait down there.

If fuel remaining, engine mode, select your ignition.

If I endangered the lives of all those passengers?

If it's possible, I'd love to have my uniform dry cleaned overnight.

If it's too much... If it's too late...

If the Mayor wants to say hello, he'll have to come down here.

If they do, then I'll hand you my wings myself.

If we could settle, please.

If you had to do it again?

If you have a life vest, put it on!

If you have any wet clothing on, take it off

Ignition start.

Ignition start.

Immediately after the bird strike

In Manhattan, Bobby Cuza, New York One.

In these simulations, you've taken all of the humanity out of the cockpit.

Including attempts made for Teterboro runways 1 9

Including two shivering babies who were found in a life raft...

Intact.

Is anyone still here? Come forward.

Is because Captain Sullenberger turned on the Auxiliary Power Unit.

Is it possible your blood sugar was low?

Is retirement next?

Is that everyone aboard the plane survived,

Is that what it is? Or is it the mustache?

Is that you?

Isn't it a little early in the year to go fishing?

It didn't turn out all right for the airline

It doesn't feel much like family here.

It explains the safety features of this aircraft

It feels like if we lose that space, the next domino to fall is the house.

It gets to be a pretty big number pretty quickly.

It had just taken off from New York's LaGuardia Airport,

It is a lot.

It is an honor driving you today.

It just doesn't seem right.

It may have a minor impact on your day to day.

It was a critical situation,

It was Jeff and Donna and Sheila and Doreen

It was life and death.

It was like we were stopped in midair.

It was not a...

It was obvious.

It was the lights and the camera that she brought with her.

It wasn't just me. It was all of us.

It'll be two o'clock in seven miles.

It'll be two o'clock in seven miles.

It'll generate simulations with your exact parameters.

It's 1:30 in the morning.

It's a shot of Grey Goose

It's about all I know at the moment.

It's activated.

It's all about the timing, Larry.

It's almost over.

It's already 7:30 in the morning in France,

It's always fun to get something from the airport.

It's because Captain Sullenberger did not head back to LaGuardia.

It's because it's not right.

It's bullshit.

It's extraordinary.

It's flooding back here!

It's gonna be remembered for a very long time.

It's impressive.

It's just turbulence, probably.

It's just...

It's news, Lorr.

It's not personal. NTSB's just doing its job.

It's official.

It's okay.

It's okay. There's no sleep in this room either.

It's possible that birds flew into both of the aircraft engines.

It's Queens. It's 10:00 in the evening.

It's so cold out here.

It's still vacant.

It's the only clothing that I have.

It's time to get off the plane, right now!

January 15th, 2009.

Jeff was relaxed and funny.

Jeff, I need a count. We've gotta have a count.

Jeff!

Jeff.

Jimmy, Jeff's still on that plane!

Just a little farther.

Just a little something.

Just as in the computer sims, correct?

Just do what you have to do.

Just double check your seat belts, please.

Just make a left turn for LaGuardia

Just thought maybe you would want to, uh...

KC, come on over here.

Keep it coming, Paulie. I'll see you on One.

Keep moving forward!

Kmart was the only store open.

LaGuardia ramp, Cactus 1549. Ready for pushback at gate 21.

LaGuardia says go to runway 1 3.

LaGuardia Tower, Cactus 1549, trying to make 1 3.

Larry Rooney volunteered to jump in

Larry, the CVR is in two days. How fast can you arrange a favor?

Last report says there's ice out by the GW.

Let me hold him.

Let's get some air.

Let's get you in some dry clothes before you freeze to death.

Let's go, let's go!

Let's just assume that it was, as you say,

Let's put a hold on the tower, please.

Let's see if we can make it.

Let's try for T eterboro now, please.

Let's try T eterboro.

Letterman.

Life's easier in the air.

Like people who are experiencing this for the first time.

Like you're going back to pick up the milk.

Like your air safety consulting business has got about 100 employees

Literally have minutes to live.

Look, guys. It's been a long day. Why don't you get some rest?

Look, I just finished training on the A320 and I can tell you,

Look, I'm sorry if you're frustrated,

Looks like you're coming in hot.

Lorr, if this goes badly,

Lorr, we're not gonna lose the house.

Lorrie, I can't talk right now.

Lorrie, I'm trying to tell...

Lorrie, tell them you're not allowed to talk to anybody.

Losing thrust in both engines at a low altitude

Loss of thrust on both engines.

Loss of thrust on both engines.

Maintain 1 5000, Delta 3 3 1.

Make sure your seat belts are fastened.

Making its emergency landing on the Hudson.

Maybe a snow globe.

Maybe he's here. Maybe he beat us somehow.

Maybe that's the part you don't like.

Maybe we should talk later.

Mayday, mayday. Cactus 1549.

Meanwhile, the search is launched for the engine of the aircraft.

Might be the last one you see today.

Might change theirs.

Move forward to the overwing exits!

Move forward to the right or left exit door.

Move forward, move forward.

Move forward.

Multiple airports, runways, two successful landings.

My aircraft.

My career as a safety expert will end as a website and a business card.

My life's work gone.

My name is Charles Porter.

My normal resting is 55.

My Sully.

My whole life.

Needs to go to the airport right now.

Nellis Tower, this is Tasty 1 1

Never been.

New York One Minute.

Newark tower, what have you got?

Nice view of the Hudson.

Nine days ago.

Nineteen headed to Pier 81.

No more than anyone else.

No one has ever trained for an incident like that.

No one said, You are going to lose both engines

No one.

No payment is necessary.

No relight after 30 seconds, engine master one and two, confirm off.

No relight on one or two.

No relight.

No, I can still fly. I'm running a control test.

No, it wasn't.

No, leave the flaps up.

No, Lorrie.

No, no, no, wait!

No, not ever.

No, they don't.

No.

No. Good night.

No. Never.

No. No, he wasn't.

Not a lot of sleep going on here either.

Not as glad as we are.

Not gonna work, not gonna work.

Not meaning to bother, but I have to say,

Not possible during an investigation.

Not possible. I felt it go.

Not until the NTSB is finished with their investigation.

Not with you verbally running the course the whole time.

Nothing together.

Now that we've seen what could have happened,

Now with an added 35 second delay in response time.

Now with an added 35 second delay in response time.

Now, uh, ever hear that before coming out of a cockpit?

Number one.

Number one's rolling back. And number two.

Obstacle, obstacle.

Obstacle. Obstacle.

Obstacle. Obstacle.

Of course you did. You saved everyone.

Of thousands of flights over four decades.

Off that website? I'd hire you.

Off your right side is Teterboro airport.

Off.

Oh, good. Are you still on the 5:50 home?

Oh, I wish the bank felt the same way.

Oh, I'm holding up.

Oh, I'm only teasing.

Oh, it wasn't Katie.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Is that gas?

Oh, okay.

Oh, one other thing, and this is important.

Oh, this is Ms. May, with the hotel.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Okay, sweetheart.

Okay, thank you, everybody, thank you.

Okay, then here's the most important fact.

Okay, well, let's get into how you calculated all those parameters.

Okay, yeah.

Okay, yeah. Off your right side is Teterboro airport.

Okay, you need to return to LaGuardia?

Okay, you're scaring me now, Sully. What is going on?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. All done.

Okay. How are you?

Okay. I got a chopper with visuals.

Okay. I'm gonna left turn back to LaGuardia 1 3.

Okay. What do you need to land?

Okay. Which runway would you like at Teterboro?

On the crash of US Airways Flight 1549.

On the Hudson River.

On the river!

Once the investigation is complete,

Once they have all the facts, it'll calm down.

One after another. Keep moving forward. Keep moving forward.

One hundred and fifty knots.

One thousand.

One, I'll maintain chase and follow you in.

One, you look clean and dry, but you're still trailing smoke.

Online.

Opening forward door.

Oughta be.

Our computers will run return scenario algorithms.

Over one of the most densely populated areas of the planet.

Over the wings.

Patty.

People don't survive water landings, Henry.

Per the request of Captain Sullenberger and the union,

Please review the safety instruction card in the seatback pocket in front of you.

Please tell me this is almost over.

Positive rate.

Priority left.

Proceed straight ahead to runway 2 1.

Read all about your company on your website.

Regardless, we have to follow up on all implications

Remove you from the equation, and the math just fails.

Return to LaGuardia.

Returning to LaGuardia would have been a mistake.

Right there.

Rob Kolodjay!

Robbie, Robbie. Robbie!

Robbie! The crew will grab him, okay?

Roger that, Two. Approach runway 2 1.

Roger that. Two joining on you.

Roger, Tasty 1 1.

Runway 1 3.

Runway 4's available if you wanna make left traffic to runway 4.

Runway four. Cleared for takeoff.

Seat belt. Relax.

Seat belts.

Seeking the facts is hardly fishing, Mr. Skiles.

Self defense. You think a jury would convict?

Separating reality from whatever the hell this is.

Service to Charlotte...

Seventeen?

Seventeen.

She needs a tourniquet.

She says to say thank you and that she's single.

She'll have a scar and a hell of a story to tell.

Sheila, the raft didn't deploy.

Sherri, I cannot believe I am talking to you.

Shit! He's going down! He's gonna hit the water.

Shit.

Shit.

Show that the aviation engineers were correct.

Showed that you could make it back to the airport.

Sink Rate 900.

Sir, evacuate the plane right now! Go!

Sir! Come back, sir!

Slowly.

So I'll take it.

So what was the first thing you heard from the cockpit?

So you better get started.

So, if there's anything I can do at all...

So, no thrust?

So, thank you so much

So, while much of the country hails him as a hero,

So, you can take the plane up, I guess, when you please.

Some room, please.

Somehow, that's not how I remember it.

Something he'll remember. Something New York.

Sorry. This mailbox is full.

Speed and altitude 200 knots at 2,818 feet.

Splash of water.

Spot 28, ground for taxi.

Start checklist complete.

Stay calm and you'll all get out.

Still six bucks an hour. I'll consider it lesson time.

Successful landing at LaGuardia, runway 1 3.

Successful landing at Teterboro, runway 1 9.

Successful?

Sullenberger couldn't be here.

Sully Sullenberger, are you a hero or a fraud?

Sully,

Sully, are you listening to me?

Sully, do you want me to come be with you?

Sully, I can keep assembling the count.

Sully, I don't understand.

Sully, Jeff's right.

Sully, watch the news. You're a hero.

Sully, we gotta go.

Sully, we're too low!

Sully, we're too low.

Sully, where are you?

Sully, wrap it around your arms.

Sully, you did everything you could and it was more than enough.

Sully, you did everything you could. It was more than enough.

Sully!

Sully!

Sully!

Sully! Over here!

Sully?

Sully.

Sully. Sully!

Sully's here, and he's there!

Sully's right. That's worth a few seconds.

Sweetheart, what happened?

Sweetheart, what happened?

T eterboro tower, I need a runway.

Take your seats.

Takeoff minimum fuel quantity verify.

Takeoff minimum fuel quantity verify.

Talk to me.

Talk?

Talked to Dan Britt, Sully.

Tasty 1 1, check air speed.

Tell them I love them.

Ten.

Terrain, terrain.

Terrain, terrain.

Tester's gonna come down.

Th is is you r captai n speaki ng.

Thank you, Arnie.

Thank you, Captain.

Thank you, gentlemen. Good day.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, but the girls need you.

Thanks, Sully.

Thanks.

That after speaking with the rest of the flight crew,

That is honestly the first time

That it still could've had thrust.

That the aircraft could land anywhere,

That was a hell of a landing, sir.

That was from my mom.

That was no simulation.

That was unreal, what you did the other day.

That would be unprecedented.

That you are a talented, dedicated, experienced professional.

That you guys had some seats?

That you stated you were returning to LaGuardia,

That's immediate retirement. No pension.

That's literally like giving the entire city the finger.

That's my dad. It's an emergency. He's gotta be on this flight.

That's not good.

The ACARS data was wrong.

The best chance those passengers had was on that river.

The CVR is on Wednesday. That's 36 hours.

The dual engine loss, the altitude.

The economy has to take a turn.

The first pictures of US Airways Flight 1549 reveal...

The first pictures of US Airways Flight 1549 reveal...

The greatest relief pitcher in the history of baseball.

The Hudson was the only place that was long enough and smooth enough

The left engine might have still been idling.

The left engine was lost in the crash due to excessive damage on touchdown.

The left engine was still operating at idle.

The NTSB had us tied up all day.

The NTSB lists me as the probable cause.

The onboard count, 150 passengers,

The only place he could go down was the Hudson River.

The only question remaining is will it be too late?

The only reason the plane operated as well as it did,

The perfect timing of the NYPD scuba units

The pilot quickly realized he could not return to the airport and land.

The pilot who landed at Teterboro had 17 practice attempts

The pilots and the computer sims bear the same result.

The plane landed at LaGuardia.

The rafts are waiting.

The reporters want me to give an update inside the mind of Sully.

The rib eye'll break your heart.

The right man for the job at the right time.

The senior pilot, drew on all of his experience and skill,

The site does make it sound

The suitcase is already overstuffed with gifts for Will.

The Sully!

The surviving passengers of Flight 1549

The Teterboro landing, with its unrealistic bank angle

The ti mi ng.

The union is pulling out all the big guns today, huh?

The whole world is talking about you.

The word city officials keep repeating is timing.

Then make it human.

Then steaks.

Then the ACARS data is wrong.

Then when I dug a little deeper,

Then why did you do it, Sully?

There is no need for you to apologize. You are right where you need to be.

There is no question

There simply was not enough altitude.

There was enough altitude and speed after the bird strike

There was enough altitude and speed for a successful return to LaGuardia.

There was extensive damage

There was no time for calculating.

There were 155 people on that plane and you were one of them.

There were some non critical injuries,

There's been an incident.

There's been far too much talk in the press already.

There's lots of boats! Jeff!

There's no way to get a real count out here, Sully.

There's only two people who know what happened in the cockpit that day

There's something else. Arnie Gentile called.

These pilots were not behaving like human beings,

They are turning back for the airport.

They could take this show away from me.

They did not switch on the APU.

They had all the same parameters that you faced.

They should pin on the medal and send you back to work.

They're a little overwhelmed. It sounds like you are, too.

They're good pilots.

They're just simulations, Sully.

They're playing Pacman.

They're wrong.

Thirty five seconds. That's not enough time.

Thirty.

Thirty...

This is only to say that my staff and I

This is Teterboro tower. Go ahead.

This is the captain.

This is the Captain.

This is the CVR of US Airways Flight 1549,

This is two men freezing their asses off.

This is Yogi Berra. We're 30 seconds out.

This isn't happening.

This new information will certainly change everyone's understanding

This plummet from the skies into the icy Hudson

This was dual engine loss at 2,800 feet

This wasn't a video game.

This way. I'll help you out.

Those missing engines

Thought you might need a friend.

Three flight attendants and two pilots, one of whom,

Time's up.

To both the guide vanes and fan blades of the engine.

To conduct this public hearing here today.

To January 15th.

To today's piloted simulations.

To turn the Hudson into a runway?

TO/GA.

Today, we begin with our operation and human performance investigation

Too cold today. Too much cold.

Too low, flaps.

Too low, flaps.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Too low, terrain.

Tower, stop your departure. Got an emergency returning.

Tray table up.

Try and go to Teterboro?

Try the other one.

Tuna basil, Mr. Sully. Very fresh.

Turn left 2 0 0 to runway 3.

Turn on the television.

Turn.

Twenty one people onboard, Cap.

Twenty six passengers going to Port Imperial.

Twenty.

Twenty...

Two, I'm decreasing speed.

Two, join on me.

Two...

Uh, don't drink. Never have.

Uh, maybe we should just talk in the morning. I'm tired.

Uh, what about over to our right?

Um, Spirit sent us.

Um...

Unable. I repeat, I need a straight in approach.

Unbelievable.

Undamaged.

Union's offering us counseling.

Upload link, please.

Upload the link, please.

Upload the link.

Upload the second run.

Wait 30 seconds.

Wait, see that old guy limping up right there?

Wait, wait!

Wanted to have a quick word with you.

Was at idle or sub idle immediately following the bird strike.

Wasn't that the most dangerous thing you could have done?

Wasn't that the most dangerous thing you could have done?

Way too low.

We also wanna welcome First Officer Skiles.

We are now closed for US Airways flight 1549,

We are simply mimicking what the computer already told us.

We are unable. We may end up in the Hudson.

We are unable. We may end up in the Hudson.

We can't leave him there!

We can't make it.

We can't make it.

We cannot afford a leak to the press.

We did this together. We were a team.

We got 21.8 onboard.

We got 24 passengers onboard headed to Port Imperial.

We got a little extra speed.

We got an A320 on emergency descent.

We got another notice about the space in Butte County.

We got canceled and they said that we were re routed.

We got one rolling back.

We got one rolling back.

We got passengers on the wings. Approach with caution.

We got some really good people coming on their way, all right?

We got you.

We have a lot of material to cover.

We have a passenger airliner in the north river.

We have both of them rolling back.

We have both of them rolling back.

We have the checklist, sir.

We have to jump.

We hit birds.

We just received a comprehensive report.

We need a straight in approach.

We need you flying.

We should expect some blowback.

We survived.

We were able to run all the algorithms concurrently.

We were not the Thunderbirds up there.

We will call you back.

We will make them available to the union.

We'll be able to share the actual computer simulations.

We'll find a tenant.

We're about seven miles from the runway.

We're clear all the way to Charlotte.

We're doing David Letterman?

We're en route. We will advise.

We're gonna brace.

We're gonna brace.

We're gonna end up in the Hudson.

We're gonna end up in the Hudson.

We're gonna get everybody, guys.

We're gonna have to track the passenger information down one by one.

We're good. We're good.

We're here! We're here!

We're still working.

We're turning back towards LaGuardia.

We've all heard about the computer simulations

We've lost both engines. Both engines.

We've lost thrust on both engines. We are turning back towards LaGuardia.

Welcome onboard US Airways Flight 1549

Well, engineers are not pilots.

Well, only he can answer.

Well, thank you, Evelyn. Thank you very much.

Well, they may not be reacting like you did.

Well, they're...

Well, you know the only way to get out of LaGuardia on time.

Were definitely not what investigators wanted...

Were you this generous when we were kids?

What about over to our right?

What are they gonna ask me? What am I gonna say?

What are they gonna ask me? What am I gonna say?

What are you even still doing in uniform?

What are you saying?

What did you think?

What do we do, darling?

What do you mean Turn on the television?

What do you think's going on?

What has it been this year so far?

What if I did blow this?

What if I did get this wrong, so close to the end of my career?

What if they show the exact same result?

What is my pulse rate?

What kind of emergency?

What the hell's the matter with you?

What, did you think we were ninjas?

What, land in the water?

What?

What?

What's next for you? What's next?

What's next for you? What's next?

What's our heading?

What's the report?

What's up with you?

When are you gonna come fly with me?

When he said the Hudson, I didn't believe it.

When the complete cockpit voice recording is compiled,

When US Air starts flights to Hyderabad.

When's the last time you heard of someone

Which combined with near miraculous good luck

Which engine did you lose?

Which engine did you lose?

Which engine?

While actually sitting

While the NTSB is conducting its investigation.

Whoa.

Whoever has miraculously survived

Why are they looking for something we did wrong when it all turned out right?

Why Captain Sullenberger made that fateful decision

Why didn't you attempt to return to LaGuardia?

Why do you even think we're here today?

Why?

Why? What do you mean?

Why'd you do it, Sully? Land in the water?

Wildlife Factors, Survival Factors and Emergency Response.

Wind and temperature north, northwest, 21°.

Wind shear.

With 155 souls onboard.

With a water temperature of 36 degrees and a wind chill of minus 5,

With a, uh, splash of water.

With bird experts, aviation engineers,

With human pilots and not a computer, the results are going to be different.

With service to Charlotte.

With so much at stake.

With the captain and the first officer.

Won't change my mind about what happened up there.

Worst case scenario,

Wrap this around her leg. Make it tight.

Yeah, but you didn't. I'm right here.

Yeah, finally.

Yeah, just tired, that's all.

Yeah, let's run.

Yeah, well, they'll be all right.

Yeah, what's that?

Yeah, you've been saying that for nine months, Sully.

Yeah!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Holy Christ, that's a plane.

Yeah. I gotta go.

Yeah. Right after the next NTSB interview.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah...

Yes, it is.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Bird strike. Can I get him in for runway 1?

You also got Newark off your two o'clock in about seven miles.

You also got Newark off your two o'clock in about seven miles.

You can accomplish anything if you're never in a hurry.

You can land runway one Teterboro.

You can land runway one Teterboro.

You can sleep here.

You could go pro.

You do not have to talk to anybody.

You enjoying the shakes?

You eyeballed it?

You got any ideas?

You got any nuts?

You got runway 2 9 available at Newark.

You got that from one computer simulation?

You have runway 2 9 cleared and ready.

You just got hugged by a total stranger.

You know, we invented a drink after you

You landed a plane on the Hudson. Not a scratch on you.

You need to get focused.

You need to get off this plane now.

You okay?

You really think they'll release us?

You seeing Teterboro out there?

You seeing this?

You stated that it was a dual engine failure

You still have not taken into account the human factor.

You think that you're gonna die. That's what you think.

You want some flaps?

You were flying a plane full of human beings.

You were in a plane crash and lived.

You were?

You'd be amazed how many cousins you have.

You'll make mistakes, everyone does. Just learn from them.

You're gonna be fine, honey. Go slow.

You're gonna be okay. Okay, Lucille?

You're just jealous he was never a Yankee.

You're like a real hero, man. You know that?

You're not used to having answers to your guesses.

You're saying you didn't do any...

You're welcome.

You've got to be kidding me. We've been through all this before.

All right, thanks. Roger that. All right.

Are you the pilot? Sully? Yeah.

Aren't you coming? I guess you didn't hear.

Birds. Okay, I saw them.

Brace for impact. Yes. Brace for impact.

Can you help? Yeah.

Captain Sully! Sully!

Everyone, come forward. Jump!

Feels like hydraulics. Sir, do we need to punch out?

Flaps two. Flaps two.

Give me 35 seconds. Thirty five seconds.

Good afternoon, Sheila. Captain.

Good morning, Sully. Jeff.

Got flaps two. You want more? No. Let's stay at two.

Hello, Donna. Captain.

Hello? Jeff?

Hey, Carl. Jeff.

They've got to get a TV in here. Yeah. Seriously.

Thirty five seconds. Thirty five seconds.

To Sully. Sully.

Water landing. Captain?

We did our job. We did our job.

We don't have that. No, we don't.

We're doing fine. Come on. Let's get out!

We're in six, Jeff. Oh, no. That's all Jimmy.

We're not gonna make it, Uncle Robbie. It's okay.

What do you think that was? I think it was a bird strike.

What? Both engines gone. No thrust.

Which engine did you lose? Both. Both engines.

Yeah, no kidding. All right.

You find a Brooks Brothers. Yeah.

You got it. Wait, wait, wait!

You need emergency landing? Yes.
