Hudson river landing

This is an animation together with the actual radio communication that took place in the famous hudson river landing where a commercial air liner set down after having a double engine failure due to bird strikes just after taking off.

It was the US Airwais flight 1549 leaving LaGuardia airport with 155 people on board. This is as close to a miracle that you may get really. I love how calm the pilots sounds during all this.
