On January 15th, 2009 Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger led a crew that crash landed in the icy Hudson River an Airbus A320. A bird strike shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia had crippled both engines of US Airways Flight 1549 . Sully had seconds to react–could he to return to LaGuardia in time or did he need to land some where else? He realized quickly the only option was a dramatic water landing in the Hudson.
