Next time I fly, I want 'Sully' to be the pilot. Simply amazing job of landing that plane on the Hudson.

Another video taken from the Manhattan Cruise Line pier on the Manhattan side was released also. It actually shows the plane on final and touching down. I couldn't find a direct link to it, but you can watch it here:

Sully had a sixth sense about this dangerous approach..no landing gear down...he made a flying boat out of that aircraft (note how he kept the nose up and just skipped in), and saved many lives. The man is a hero no doubt. If he had lost his cool it would have been a much different story.

The pilot, co-pilot and crew are true professionals. Working as a team, they saved over 150 lives - an accomplishment of a lifetime.
