Plane Crash Recreated S01E02 - US1549 / Sully

On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 had just taken off from New York City's LaGuardia Airport when it collided with a flock of birds, destroying both engines. With all engine power lost, Captain Chesley ‘Sully' Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeffrey Skyles were forced to glide the plane and perform an emergency ditching in the Hudson River. All 155 people on board survived the ‘Miracle on the Hudson' thanks to the quick thinking by the crew. This episode features the accounts of three passengers who survived what could have been a fatal crash.
