Being a Pilot this movie is the best aviation movie I've ever seen. All sorts of communication and equipment used is almost an exact replica of real life.
This was an AMAZING Movie, that was one hell of a landing and Captain Sully did a Phenomenal Job landing that plane in the Hudson River and saving all those people. I would LOVE to meet him one day just to shake his hand and say Congratulations on saving himself and all those people.
It's truly difficult to believe that this really happened, and turned out as well as it did! It's a testament to everyone involved, and especially to the pilot and flight crew! The plane itself was amazing not to have broken to bits after plowing thru water at that speed!
No matter how many times I watch this scene, at the end of the clip I find myself at the edge of my chair, almost not breathing; and then I take a big gulp of air and straighten myself up. Well done!
What's most impressing me during that scene is how calm, focused and lucid Sully and his copilot remained despite the overwhelming odds surrounding them with a crippled plane full of afraid and panicking passenger landing on freezing waters with no training to handle that kind of desperate situation. I would have freak out if I was in his shoes. I think everyone would have but he remained calm and serene and that's probably what saved everyone that day.
The music was cut perfectly with the sequence, unfortunately the volume balance left something to be desired. It doesn't really work so well if you can't hear the dialogue.
Every so often history gives us an outstanding moment. History also gives us a man or a woman that will stand out in that moment and save the day. On this day history gave us captain sully.
Love the quiet leadership of Sulley. His First Officer is brilliant but clearly directed and the two of them operate as a quiet team. Too many roles these days do not work in this way.
