This one was of the variety with 2 engines under the wings near the cabin or whatever. So they were also the first things to it the water. Pretty amazing "landing" in that it didnt snag and flip itself into a million pieces.
ive always thought planes had 4 engines, and thats why they say planes can "run on 2"
i put money on UFO!!!!
They CAN fly on 2, but this plane was taking off which requires full thrust they can get, they were probably real close to the ground when this happened.
if someone sues they are fucking mother bastards. Instead, they should thank the pilot (and pay him each one at least $100,000) for smart decisions to have all passangers alive. America now has a good hero, Yahoo ran it as main story this morning with that hero angle, good way to honor him and all the pilots with courage.

Yup,saw it again on the news,they say it was a flock of geese.They also say the captain is a hero
From what he was able to do, I would have to agree. He did an amazing job putting that thing down without rolling it or flipping it.
props to the captain to keep a cool head and put down the bird in the drink.
the most critical point in a flight is take off and the intial 20 seconds after lift off, the aircraft needs the most thrust to climb out, engine failure at this stage is critical however passenger jets are designed to be able to still maintain level flight or even still climb out on one engine, however it takes a very competent pilot to control the plane in the moment the one engine fails, the thrust is no longer symmetrical so the plane has a strong tendency to roll over and crash.
in case with all engines out, the pilot only has one choice, find a place to make the crash landing the least volatile and this guy did a great job at that.
