The Day of the Miracle on the Hudson #TimelineShorts

📅January 15, 2009 — 90 seconds that rewrote aviation history. A routine takeoff from LaGuardia suddenly turned catastrophic when a flock of geese disabled both engines of Flight 1549. At 3,000 feet, with no power and no runway within reach, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger made a choice no simulator could fully prepare for. He stayed calm. He rejected the impossible. And he aimed for the Hudson River. Ninety seconds later, the powerless jet touched down on icy water. All 155 people survived. Sullenberger walked the aisle twice before leaving the sinking plane — the last to step off. Sometimes history isn’t shaped by force or speed… but by calm judgment under pressure. 📚 Sources & Credit: 🎵 Stock Media provided by Marscott / Pond5 🖼️US Airways Flight 1549 (N106US) after crashing into the Hudson River (crop 1) Photographer: Greg L.
