Flight Recorder Recovered from Hudson River
The black box recorders recovered from the downed jetliner have confirmed the crew’s and captain’s accounts of the hair-raising incident.
The recorders captured thumping sounds as birds began hitting the aircraft followed by the sudden loss of engine power. Hero pilot, Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger, is clearly heard calmly talking to New Jersey air traffic control, outlining options for the crash landing. Just ninety seconds before impact he is heard warning passengers to ‘brace for impact’ and telling controllers that they will be in the Hudson river.
After making the crash landing the pilot and his co-pilot wlaked the length of the aircraft, twice, in freezing waters in order to verify that all 155 passengers had disembarked safely.
Investigators are continuing to study recorded radar data hoping to identify the flock of birds responsible for the crash.
Chesley Sullenberger and his experienced crew have been praised by the National Transportation Safety Board who said that “these people knew what they were supposed to do and they did it and as a result, nobody lost their life.”
Weather conditions and ice flows in the Hudson river are currently making search and recovery of the left engine too dangerous. The search for the left engine is likely to continue when weather conditions improve.
This accident investigation will provide much valuable data that will make an enormously useful contribution to future aircraft design and passenger safety. It is likely that investigators will focus upon what went right in the accident rather than what went wrong.
The pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, and his family have been invited to attend the inauguration of President-elect Barrack Obama on Tuesday 20th. So far the pilot has not been able to speak of his experience due to the pilots association having ‘interested party’ status with the NTSB.

Planet of the Apes [Blu-ray] $9.99 Many early science fiction films are now, quite inadvertently (and in most cases undeservedly), objects of camp attention: we laugh at the silly makeup, tin-can special effects, and the naive “high-tech” dialogue. Planet of the Apes is no such film. Its intelligent script, frightening costuming, and savagely effective conclusion (which needs no big-budget special effects to augment its impact) rem… |

The Blind Side $5.49 The Blind Side takes the true story of a young man who went from abandonment to success as a pro-football player and treats it with respect. The movie doesn’t oversell what is, on the face of it, already compelling.
