1. It's a 12-minute video clip. When does the ditching occur?
I saw a CGI rendering of the crash--is that what you meant?

6. Could you link to a video that shows what you're describing?
Two minutes into the one you posted... Still nothing.

7. Hadn't seen that report yet malaise, thank you.

That was simply amazing. Miraculous is the only word for it. That pilot did exactly the right thing. He actually used the water as brakes, angled it perfectly.

9. Ok, this will be hokey to a lot of people
But thank you to the Gods and spirits of the mighty Hudson. Mother earth had a hand in saving those people too.

10. It would have been a lot less messy if Mother Earth had nudged those geese a few yards lower
Instead of routing them through the engines...

11. Valid point
But technically air spirits like birds and water spirits like rivers don't always work in complete cooperation with each other. Much like our country's intelligence services.

But we're probably not talking about the same thing. :evilgrin:

18. could you explain?
It is the video of the sea landing by a jet that is not a sea plane.

Is that called a ditching by some?

19. It's pretty clear by now that the OP made an honest mistake
The linked video doesn't show much beyond still pictures, post-crash snippets, and a computer simulation.


However, the OP has graciously and in good humor posted a link to the intended video. Problem solved!
