US Airways Flight 1549 On January 15, 2009, the Airbus A320 struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off from La Guardia, losing all engine power. Given their position in relation to the available airports and their low altitude, pilots decided to glide the plane to ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, with only a few injuries. The captain and pilot in command was Sully Sullenberg, a former fighter pilot who had been an airline pilot since leaving the US Air Force, he was also a glider pilot and expert on aviation safety. First officer Jeffrey Skiles had accrued 20,727 career flight hours, including 37 in A320, but this was his first A320 assignment as pilot flying. There were 150 passengers and three flight attendants on board. Aftermath, Passengers and crew sustained 95 minor and five serious injuries, including a deep laceration in the leg of one of the flight attendants. 78 people received medical treatment, mostly for minor injuries and hypothermia; 24 passengers and two rescuers were treated at hospitals, with two passengers kept overnight. Many passengers and rescuers later experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms. The controller, who had worked the flight, said that “the hardest, most traumatic part of the entire event was when it was over”, and that he was “gripped by raw moments of shock and grief”.
