FSX simulation of the 1592 U.S. Airways crash landing in NYC Hudson River, passenger with Captain C. Sullenberger

This animation was created with Microsoft Flight Simulator X is a recovery of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 crash landing in New York City's Hudson River. The NTSB final report will not be released for some time, but based on all available evidence it seems clear that the Airbus A320 hit a dense swarm of large birds causing catastrophic damage to both engines. Total failure of all power is extremely rare for modern jet aircraft. It quickly became clear that the return of LaGuard or any other nearby airport was not in question. The only remaining option was to perform an emergency landing in the Hudson River, right next to one of the most densely populated cities in the world. This water landings seldom succeeds, but the Capitan Sullenberger executed the maneuver perfectly. Not only that, this brave move to save the lives of all 155 souls on board, but potentially more notes in the populated regions directly below the flight path of 1549 that Friday afternoon. Add this videodedicated Chesley Sullenberger captain and crew of Flight 1549 for their heroic efforts in this potential tragedy into a truly amazing story.
