Miracle Landing on the Hudson

In 2009, just two minutes after US Airways Flight 1549, a flock of birds hit the plane, destroying both engines. The captain then decided to try the almost impossible - to land on the Hudson River in New York.

Despite already knowing the story and all its details and developments from watching the wonderful film with Tom Hanks, the documentary excites, moves us, especially when we have a crush (forgive me the unfortunate pun) for movies of airplanes and the paradox of fear and fascination flying in them... It's emotional, I cry just reading and remembering the heroic act and everyone who can retell this story today... "That moment when you realize you've experienced a miracle" all 155 crew members survived...

I couldn't give a good review for this documentary, as I couldn't tell who was being honest. I don't think it's a very good documentary for historical preservation of this event.

That may sound harsh, but it feels like everyone interviewed is trying to add a hero narrative to their own story. They try and make their personal involvement the most important aspect.

Very little is discussed about the pilot. It's mostly a small cross-section of passengers.

Watch the film 'Sully' instead.
