Flight 1549 3D Reconstruction, Hudson River Ditching Jan 15, 2009
This is a must watch computer recreation of the Sullenberger Hudson crash Flight Simulation;
We all know who Sully is. I want to know who that Departure Controller is? He kept his cool through the whole incident, even while he continued to control the other planes he had in the air. Outstanding work under pressure.
From Exosphere 3D:
This astonishing animation is based on all currently available data concerning the US Airways Flight 1549 crash (Cactus 1549).
Satellite imagery, elevation models and robust GIS mapping methods are utilized to create a vegetation model, terrain model and ground clutter (3D buildings). Of all available audio tracks, only two are used, La Guardia Tower and New York TRACON Departure controller position. Radar data as well as the onboard Flight Data Recorder are utilized in constructing the flightpath of the aircraft

I love the captian saying “Got any ideas?” as they’re heading for the water. Talk about cool, he’s making sure he hasn’t missed anything and wants input from his crew. No ego issues with this guy.
