video of the plane crash landing in Hudson River
 

turn off the stupid music and start watching from 1.55

cam zooms in after 15 secs or so

wtf is that music

Glad there were no injuries :)

OMG! The music made me want to jump in the river head first.

Maybe the plane's music system got stuck on that song and the pilot decided
to ditch the plane.

Amazing footage

That guy should be shot for using that music. Jesus fucking hell.

All I'm saying is that pilot had skills! Most people think being a pilot is easy and comfy, that is bullshit! I know a pilot in Germany who loves to fly but always says "it's a new stress each time" he flies. I for one would not want that job, even though they make about a million a year. :2 cents:

I wonder where the video is from. Anyone know what LNT could mean?

Damn! I did'nt know Yani scored youtube vids.

Isnt there any footage of it coming in still flying over manhattan?

I'm a pilot myself, i used to fly the MD-11 for City Bird (Belgian Airline, out of business), now i'm doing mostly private jets.

No pilot makes a million a year..... after taxes, insurance,........ you make just a small amount over a normal workmans earnings, the golden times are gone, long gone.

Why does everybody feel the need to put shitty music to their videos?

Wow really? I mean I never asked my friend how much he makes because I considered it rude, but I remember a while ago (mid 90's) the wages were in the 200k mark so I figured it has grown since then, what is it at now? That's crazy! :(

sort of impressed at how fast the boat got to them.

agg that music :(

A friend of mine flies for Virgin Atlantic. Last time we discussed it he was on just over £110k. Some of his stuff is performance related.

Should add, that was probably 5-6 years ago.

It's a US Coast Guard video. Looks like it is from the west side of the Lincoln Tunnel.

youtube pulled the video for some reason

First of all,stupid music.
The footage made my heart play with the beats...Good thing they are all alive

The strange thing is they pulled the video before most of the replies were posted here.

are those the twin towers in the background`???

On a monthly base i have about 4500 euro, normal monthly earnings uphere is about 2000 euro average so it's not that much. For US standards we make only a small amount of what pilots make upthere i think, not sure. In Belgium the airline industry has gone down alot the last 10 years, it's just starting to pick up again now since last year, so things should improve. We had a few major airlines going out of business the last years and alot of low-cost companies starting to fly on Brussels, Charleroi and Oostend.

I've just watched footage of it landing, taken from the East side. It really looked like a smooth landing. Still can't believe they all walked away from it.

I am guessing "USCG LNT" refers to... US Coast Guard, Lieutenant?

here is another video
