Now being a geek and playing flight simulator i've often taken interested in planes and how they work. But this is something else.
When the pilot of this plane lined it up to take off at La Guardia airport in NY he'd never imagine that he'd shortly he facing a pilots worse fears, and he'd shortly be forced to make the hardest of landings ever. Hit the water with your tail too far down and you risk breaking the fuselage into pieces, hit the water with your nose too far down and you risk drowning everyone on board.
I'm sure this 57 year old former US air force pilot will be waking up today knowing that he's done his good deed of the year after saving 155 peoples lives. Well Done to him, this bloke deserves a medal!!
