It was five years ago today that US Airways Flight 1549 made its now-famous
"splash landing" in the Hudson River.
The incident made heros of the cockpit crew, Capt. Chesley "Sully"
Sullenberger III and First Officer Jeff Skiles. They brought the Airbus A319
to a safe landing on the Hudson River after the jet lost both engines from
goose strikes just after taking off from LaGuardia on Jan. 15, 2009.
The flight's attendants also earned a place in the spotlight for their role
in the swift evacuation of the aircraft. All 155 passengers and crew members
were rescued in what soon became dubbed as the "Miracle on the Hudson."
The incident, which has gone into aviation lore as one of the more remarkable
stories in modern aviation, captivated viewers across the USA as the rescue
played out on live TV.
Sullenberger went on to become something of a national celebrity in the
years since the landing.
Sullenberger, Skiles and some of the passengers who flew on US Airways
Flight 1549 are expected to meet up at the spot of the incident today with
some of the ferry crews who rescued them from Hudson River's icy waters that
day five years ago.
