Amazing Video of US1549

OK I missed all the excitement - but this is a very cool video - its on YouTube somewhere... but watch this one.

From this video you can see the aircraft coming down. Having always been very skeptical of the survival of a water landing - I am definitely changing my opinion. Let's just hope that the FAA and all authorities associated with air travel take these lessons to hard and teach this back in the simulator.

Kudos to US Airways - perhaps I shouldnt call it scareways any more.

Cheers
