Tech sure has advanced.
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

New Agreed. Amazing.
On all counts. Technologically and Sullenberger-ly.

New At Last.. virtual-reality to some purpose!
You could not process all the (incidental) audio in real-time without the 'source' boxes and transcriptions of the hurried speech -- presumably Sullenberger was spared the inter-agency chatter -- but we get to see/hear the whole opera.

Simply superb on all counts. 11/10
He flew the sucker with glider-pilot instincts; not clear where the power came from for that brief climb before landing; cockpit chatter suggests the L. engine had been at idle (??) rather than OFF and that S. decided to try to get a few KW out of it. Maybe he liked what he saw up-river, better.

New Looking at the link if accurate
at 1k ft he seemed to put the nose down to get a little velocity for a flare out before landing. Could be wrong.

New Most likely
as with no power, that plane would want to become a brick quickly.

No, we don't know what it means either.
