Sully isn’t the only one. This story and many others including the Gimley glider, are just as cool. These pilots are absolute heroes to me.
-
This should be just as famous as the Sully landing. Incredible skill.

This is smoother than most landings with Ryanair

ryanair: see, this, THIS is the level we are supposed to be at.

Forget "pilot error" - This is a case of "pilot brilliance!"

They show the landing as externally rough... the flight attendant then says "The landing was so smooth, like a perfect landing"

These guys deserve an award. By far the best plane landing i've ever seen EVER!

Surprised this wasn’t mentioned, but that levee was at the back of the NASA facility in New Orleans where I worked for many years. It’s in New Orleans East - the Michoud Assembly Facility, where the Saturn V boosters were built as well as the Space Shuttle External Tanks. The main NASA building there (Bldg 350) had photos of it and the plane/crew next to the main offices. It was an amazing feat, and just miraculous that nobody was hurt. NASA presented the crew with awards as well. :) I think this was 1988...?

Have we learned our lesson here? Yes don’t go on a plane with a smithsonian camera guy or bad things are going to happen

DROOVE MY BOEING TO THE LEVEE BUT THE LEVEE WAS DRY

Why is everybody talking about that he only had one eye. The problem wasn't the eye. The problem was that the two engines turn off. The pilot was a better pilot than most pilots that have their two eyes because he landed that big plane without the engines power and only with one eye.
-
Imagine cutting the grass on a riding lawnmower and you see a commercial jet coming to land behind you.

truly a miracle. mad respect to the crew. the fact that no one died and there were only mild injuries makes this even more impressive.
