US Airways flight 1549 made an emergency crash-landing into the Hudson River on Thursday, January 15, 2009. All 155 people on board were brought to safety. The miraculous landing took place after the plane struck at least one bird upon takeoff from New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
Watch the video to see for yourself what really happened: the take-off, flight-path and - crucially - the landing and rescue of passengers.
the aviation had gone really far away but still is not in the condition to find solution of bird crashing in engines,
we are working on CERN but still have to fear birds
while flying
Similar to what was happen in Indonesia

This is awesome! but it's not new that Heros maneuvers are in human being minds, wich are showed in every object of creativity. The clue is to make imagination real. How many heros are in the world!

The air traffic controller, however (who sounded like someone in their 20's) did not give me any confidence. He constantly tried to head the plane towards an airport landing until the very last minute. I know hindsite is 20-20, but in the future the controller should concentrate their efforts on getting the rescue crews to the potential landing site as soon as possible.
Every time I hear about this story I crie. It's not very often a person gets a second chance at life. Their experience has made me start living life like there is not tomorrow:
NEVER WAIT OR HESITATE. LIVE LIFE NOW BEFORE IT'S TO LATE!
regardless of the fact that he is so modest. To be able to judge hitting the water at exactly 11 degrees of nose up in order to prevent the nose going under and breaking the plane to pieces was the work of a master pilot. Very few have ever done it, let alone have every person onboard walk away with only minor injuries. I would definately fly with this man at the controls.
