We're gonna be in the Hudson

These guys are cool as cucumbers.

Both engines of this airplane went out when it flew into a flock of birds.

You'd never know it by the voices of the pilot and the air traffic controller.

Watch the professional 3-D animation matched up with the actual audio tape from that day.

Bravo fellas!

Wow. Have to love the complete deadpan after
"Which runway would you like?"
"We're gonna be in the Hudson."
...
"I think he said they're gonna be in the Hudson?"
What an amazing captain and crew. Real heroes.

This reminds me of "Houston, we've had a problem." The ultimate in understatement. What a true hero Captain Sullenberger is.
