If Ever I'm In An Aircraft That's In Trouble I Hope This Pilot's In Charge.

Bravo I say. What say you?
Horrendous for the poor lady who lost her life despite others trying to save her from being pulled out of the window. The recording from the cockpit is worth 8 mins of your time. Very moving.

Absolutely, Tammie Jo did a great job.

RIP Jennifer.

....and they are talking about autonomous planes! 4FS!

She’s good, but I’d prefer to have Sully at the controls, every time.

[cassa333]

She kept very calm but tbh I had difficulty hearing what they said. Is there any subtitles available to this audio?

[Bazile]

Well it all depends on what the emergency is , i would have thought
She might not have been able to do a safe landing in different circumstances .

She did what she was trained to do in an emergency - thank god

Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger III

I just love that name and with a name like that you can't go wrong - you would expect him to perform miracles - no ?

[jno]

yes, Bazile, he'd just have to say "Make it so".

[Bazile]

indeed jno - after he had adjusted his uniform :-)

[hereIam]

Brilliant pilot. What a way for that poor lady to die.

[Bazile]

By the way, i watch a lot of the series ' Aircrash Investigations '

I find it really interesting to see the reasons / events leading up to the incidents ; and the way the investigators go about their job , in order to find out the reasons for the incidents.

Am i weird , do you think ?

[Bazile]

By the way , yes ,well done to her

[douglas9401]

Welllllll.... :-)

[ladybirder]

Bazile a friend of mine's son does that job in America and absolutely loves it. His dream job.

[New Judge]

Yes a tragedy and all credit to the pilot.

There's a lesson here which I always adhere to and which I hope others will. When flying, so long as I am seated I always, always keep my belt on (albeit loosely fastened). If this unfortunate lady had done so she may not have been "sucked out".

[Garaman]

Poor lady, what an awful way to go.

The pilot, like Sullenberger, has served in the military and I suspect has received better training than many pilots who haven't.

[cassa333]

Agree NJ. I always keep my seat belt on as well.

[Bazile]

//The pilot, like Sullenberger, has served in the military and I suspect has received better training than many pilots who haven't.//

Why do you say 'better training' garaman ?

Pilots are trained to fly particular planes - so why would a pilot with military training be more competent than a civilian pilot without any military training ?

[marval]

Yes, she did very well. Sad that the woman died.

[Prudie]

Yes I always keep my belt on too, especially will now as I always pick a window seat. Poor woman, it's like something out of a film.

[Baldric]

Baz, think about it, you do a lot of things in a F18 that you can't do in an Airliner.

[Garaman]

Bazile, I say it because a commercial pilot is taught to fly a plane and handle a dangerous situation should it occur, whereas a military pilot is taught how to be in dangerous situation and fly a plane.
