She was injured by a non-structural beam located between the passenger and cargo floors that penetrated the floor beneath where she was sitting when the cargo compartment was damaged on impact with the water. Page 103-104 of the NTSB report.
Flight attendants will sit in special seats designated for them in crew areas.
Thanks, Patch.
Really, the name is “Sully”? Just… Sully? Stay cool, engage autopilot, control pitch, speak in monosyllabes. Box office hit stuff right there.
Its a serious drama and I doubt they’d even put Darryl Hannah in a throwaway fan hug scene in the credits, as it would destroy the mood and tension they want to build.
Think ‘High Noon’, but with the tension building over 2 hours and pushing him to the breaking point.
Some things you might not know…
He’s never punched a woman in a theater wearing 3D glasses.
There is no snake in his boot and if you pull any strings sticking out behind him, he’ll probably punch you for ruining his sweater.
He doesn’t live on a Yacht in a L.I. marina.
He isn’t building a house in Ct.
He doesn’t loiter at bus stops.
He doesn’t spit tobacco, in or outside of any dugout. If fact, I’ve never read where he’s coached baseball, softball, or kissed a soccer ball.
He’s really never piloted a space craft with a hole in the side.
He doesn’t hang out in prisons or old churches looking for clues.
He doesn’t run around with sub-machine guns or Tommy guns.
He doesn’t threaten homeless people with knives saying, “Stand back…! I’ve Rolled Initiative…!”
…And He’s NOT a ‘blind dentist’!
Now… I know that all this is a stretch and probably pretty hard to believe… but even if you can’t stop imagining him filling his days doing all of those things… and running between them Parkour-style… of this One thing you can be sure…
Psst. He’s not reading this thread. Honest.
No, he may be many things… but he’s not a Studio Exec.
Personally, I’m grateful; by all accounts, those guys are Assholes….
Surely you can’t be serious.
Stop calling me serious!
Captain Sully, I just want to say good luck. We’re all counting on you.
Yes, I remember; I had lasagna.
You can’t land a multi engine plane in a river! It’s an entirely different kind of flying altogether!
He came in from the north, under the radar.
Needs another flick to make it a tetrology.
Would it then be called the Tetralogy of Fallot?
Early on in this thread folks were asking how they could make a whole feature film about a two minute event. Then there was speculation that they would have to make up a bunch of drama–maybe paint the investigators as villains or invent entire side-plots.
I don’t think so. I’ve seen Clint Eastwood directed films and I think he is a very good director. I trust him (and Hanks) not to get involved with some ham-fisted Hollywood hack-fest.
The movie is called Sully, not** Flight 1549** or, Geese In a Plane (Engine) or, Must Go In the Hudson. That implies to me that the film is about more than just a jet making a water landing. Seems it will be in part about the man himself. You know–a well-crafted character sketch AND an exciting action flick! Perhaps showing what sort of life and experiences and mettle prepare a person to be able to calmly save scores of lives under intense pressure.
So yeah. If you have the right people making the film, there is more than enough interesting material for feature length. Maybe it won’t win an Oscar or be a unanimous hit with critics and movie-goers but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t at least well-crafted, interesting, and enjoyable.
In a world where survivors shelter from nukes by contorting themselves into shelters: Tetralogy of Fallout.
Did you actually watch the trailer?
That maybe sounds sarcastic, but I’m entirely serious: it opens up by him explaining that “no one has ever trained for an incident like that” – namely, losing both engines at that altitude – and after he insists that it was a forced water landing, we see the investigators telling him that, in fact, the “simulation showed that you could make it back to the airport.”
“Not possible,” he replies; “I felt it go.”
…and then we see him getting told later that “the left engine was still operating.”
Cue a shot of Tom Hanks contemplatively looking out of the window. “What if I did get this wrong? What if I endangered the lives of all those passengers?”
…and back to the investigators. “When was your last drink, Captain Sullenberger?”
(“Have you had any troubles at home?”)
I’ll probably wait and watch it on a flight sometime.
Thumbs up for “Must Go In the Hudson”.
Because all the other flight crews whose stars did not align that day went into a panic frenzy.
He uses his Scientology powers to levitate the airplane to a safe water landing.
But it begs the question of why didn’t he just teleport the plane to a safe place back at the airport?
They should have the copilot’s name be “Mike Wazowski”.
