JimD Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 It defies belief. The Captain and crew are heroes and the passengers can all congratulate themselves for their orderly evacuation. US Air and Airbus can both take pride in their training programs and procedures that provided the crew with the skills to deal with just such an emergency. Unbelievable set of circumstances.

Ranger Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yup, the capt will be receiving much and well deserved kudos. Much like Capt Al Haynes who landed UAL 232 at Sioux City with no rudders or ailerons. Though he wasn't quite as successful, it was amazing that anyone lived to tell about it. Last I heard he is still giving speeches. This crew really had their stuff together. I'm quite sure that the Capt's and F/O's seat cushions are permanently creased. Pucker factor must have been extremely high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
