airboyd.tv Courtesy NTSB - Aircraft Accident Report - Loss of Thrust in Both Engines After Encountering a Flock of Birds and Subsequent Ditching on the Hudson River, US Airways Flight 1549, Airbus A320-214, N106US, Weehawken, New Jersey, January 15, 2009. A synopsis of the Board's report, including the probable cause, conclusions, and recommendations, is available on the NTSB's website, at www.ntsb.gov CREW ACTIONS AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT CREDITED WITH SAVING LIVES IN US AIRWAYS 1549 HUDSON RIVER DITCHING, NTSB SAYS Washington, DC - In addition to the decisions and actions of the flight crewmembers, overwater safety equipment likely saved lives that might have otherwise been lost to drowning, the NTSB said. Today the Safety Board met to conclude its 15-month investigation into the January 15, 2009, accident in which a US Airways A320 jetliner bound for Charlotte was ditched into the Hudson River after striking a flock of Canada geese shortly after departing New Yorks LaGuardia Airport. All of the 150 passengers and five crewmembers survived. Investigators said that had the airplane not been equipped with forward slide/rafts, many of the 64 occupants of those rafts would likely have been submerged in the 41-degree Hudson River, potentially causing a phenomenon called cold shock, which can lead to drowning in as little as five minutes. The accident flight had the additional safety equipment available only because the particular aircraft operated that day happened to be ...

Skilled Pilot Capt. Sullenberger speaks stressing that "the single most important piece of safety equipment is an experienced well trained pilot." And that "Experience & Skills" of pilots only comes from investing and if airlines do not change and start valuing the pilot profession, it will result in "future pilots are less experienced and less skilled, it logically follows that we will see negative consequences to the flying public and to our country"
