Amazing pictures on the Guardian website of the plane that had to ditch in the Hudson on Thursday. The passengers couldn’t have wished for a better pilot to cope with this emergency.
“Sullenberger, a 57-year-old former fighter pilot from Danville, California, is a veteran of US Airways with 40 years’ aviation experience and about 20,000 flight hours in jets, propeller planes and gliders.
He flew F-4 jets in the US air force before his civilian career, and now gives speeches on aviation safety. His interests include studying the psychology of how teams cope in an emergency, media reports said yesterday.”
Update:Coast Guard video of the plane splashing down.
