Outstanding!

I thought it was interesting when he asked the first officer "Any ideas?"  He'd run out and it was a matter of time and altitude catching up.  When time, altitude, and idea lines converge, that's it.

This is awesome. I have seen it before but I am glad it is getting distribution.

The thing I hope peopel now realize is that Sully was not by himself. In fact, according to this, Sully was NOT the PF(pilot flying) the FO was the PF. When the incident occured, Sully took the controls. but it was the FO who intitially had control of the aircraft.
