    Saw this on TV earlier ... pretty incredible. What stands out to me is how quickly everything happens. They hit the birds, and the pilot simply turns around and drops the plan in the water. Pretty amazing.

    very impressive indeed. 'Reroute to runway One' 'Unable, we're going in the Hudson' I'm sure the controller was like 'WTF did he just say?'

    Still can't believe how calm the pilot was.

    "Uhh yeah, we're gonna be in the Hudson."

    You have to be calm as possible. I don't think I would want a pilot that would panic. Kudos for him.
