2009年1月15日,萨利(汤姆·汉克斯)在全美航空1549号班担任机长,飞机起飞两分钟后遭到飞鸟攻击,两架发动机全部熄火,萨利决定在哈德逊河上迫降,155人全数生还。但之后的调查显示他做了错误的抉择,认为大可选择返回拉瓜地亚机场。机内到底发生了什么呢?
Cactus 1549,
Runway four, cleared for takeoff.
Mayday, mayday, Cactus 1549.
We’ve lost both engines. Both engines.
No relight on one or two.
Cactus 1549, if we can get it for you,
Do you wanna try to land runway 1-3?
Departure control, we cant make it.
We’re turning back towards LA
Laguardia Tower, Cactus 1549, trying to make1-3.
Sully, we’re too low!
Come on.
…
What the hell’s the matter with you?
..
The onboard count, 150 passengers,
Three flight attendants and two pilots, one of whom,
The senior pilot, drew on all of his experience and skill,
Which combined with near-miraculous good luck,
And a result that was, frankly, astounding, there were some non-critical injuries, but every one ,everyone, survived.
The first pictures of US Airways Flight 1549 reveal…
You think that you’re gonna die ,that’s what you think, And then ,miraculously ,you don’t. Thank you ,captain, thank you ,thank you.
Okay, thank you ,everybody, thank you. Thank you , captain , sullenberger, for being here today.
We also wanna welcome first officer skiles. I’m glad you could make it in this morning.
Not as glad as we are.
For the record, we had an aircraft systems team on this investigation. Also aircraft structures, mrt, aircraft performance ,atc, wildlife factors, survival factors, and emergency response. Today ,we begin with our operation and human performance investigation on the crash of us airways flight 1549.
Water landing.
Captain?
This was not a crash and it wasn’t a ditching. We knew what we were trying to execute here. It was not a crash , it was a forced water landing.
Why didn’t you attempt to return to laguardia?
There simply was not enough altitude. The Hudson was the only place that was long enough and smooth enough and wide enough to even attempt to land the airplane safely.
Air traffic testified, that you stated you were returning to l, but you did not.
As I began the left turn , I realized I couldn’t make it back , and it would have eliminated all the other options. returning to l would have been a mistake.
Okay, well, let’s get into how you calculated all those parameters.
There was no time for calculating. I had to rely on my experience of managing the altitude and speed of thousands of flights over four decades.
