Sully

[Grahame Hutchison]

The movie was great - I just had to find a session that ended before "Curfew".

I saw it recently and thought it was good, though a bit of hollywood has been added.

Strangely I read that the NTSB didn't think they would make it back.

The guardian has a good piece that summarises reality vs fiction:

In reality, investigators first asked simulator pilots to attempt airport landings immediately after engine loss to establish the bounds of practicality. Notably, even with the benefit of perfect hindsight, barely half of these optimal test runs made it back. And then the investigators – not Sullenberger – asked a pilot to wait 35 seconds before attempting an airport return. That flight didn’t make it. Consequently, the NTSB was unequivocal in its declaration that the Hudson was the right call.
