Nur so am Rande

Sind da keine Aviatoren unter euch?
Ein Held ist auferstanden!

Ich preise Chesley B. Sullenberger http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesley_B._Sullenberger

On Saturday afternoon, as efforts to hoist the plane from its icy resting spot in Battery Park City began in earnest, the safety board discussed its first findings from initial interviews. Two flight attendants and seven air traffic controllers had been interviewed, along with Mr. Sullenberger and his co-pilot, Jeffrey B. Skiles.

Ms. Higgins said that the air traffic controllers cleared Flight 1549, with 155 people aboard, for takeoff from LaGuardia at 3:24:54. The first response of distress came at 3:27:32.

“Ah, this is Cactus 1549,” came the call from the flight deck. Ms. Higgins said she did not know if the pilot, Capt. Chesley B. Sullenberger III or the co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles, was speaking. “Hit birds. We lost thrust in both engines. We are turning back towards LaGuardia.”

Radar from Kennedy and Newark Airport confirmed that the aircraft had intersected “primary targets” between 2,900 feet and 3,000 feet, Ms. Higgins said, almost certainly birds that were about five miles from LaGuardia Airport.

The air traffic controller asked if Flight 1549 wanted to land on Runway 13. “We’re unable, we may end up in the Hudson,” came the response.

Dismissing the notion of trying to land at Teterboro Airport, six miles west, in New Jersey, the response from the cockpit was, “We can’t do it.”

When asked which runway the pilot wanted to land on, the answer was:

“We’re going to be in the Hudson.”

The plane splashed down at 3:30:30, Ms. Higgins said.

Two flight attendants, both of whom were sitting in jump seats at the front of the cabin, said they felt one impact, no bounce, and that they did not even realize they were in water.

Anscheinend liegt eine Abschrift des Funkkontakts mit der Flugüberwachung vor.

Link zu einem anderen Video, von der New Yorker Seite aus gesehen. Kann sein das man sich bei der NYT anmelden muß.
Man sieht aber die "Landung" recht eindrucksvoll!

Das ist offensichtlich ein Fake.
Oder steht das World Trade Center wieder?
Aber trotzdem Respekt an die Piloten, dass sie die Leute heile runtergebracht haben. :top:

Der Airbus kam etwa in der Höhe der 34. Straße herunter (i.e. nähe Lincolntunnel). Das World Trade Center war dagegen an der Südspitze von Manhattan. Das sind geschätzte 6 km Unterschied!
