    How much of this is true?

    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.

    "That moment when you realize you've experienced a miracle" all 155 crew members survived...

    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...

    Storyline

    • Goofs
      During the take-off the captain says "81, rotate", this means that either he meant to make the typical "V1, rotate" callout or the rotation speed is just over 80 knots. Given the fact that the primary flight display on the right in the next shot appears to show the green V1 information to be above the current speed, the latter is the case. It would be impossible for the Airbus A320 to take-off at a rotation speed of just over 80 knots, as usually the rotation speed lies around 140 to 150 knots for this aircraft.
