    Crazy, baby.
    The footage of it sliding down the river is crazy too.
    The last sentence is chilling...would be even more so if we did not know there was a happy ending.

    Incredible situation, Incredible pilot and some very lucky passengers. That's the first time I actually heard all the cockpit recording and the animation put it all in perspective. D@mn they were calm. Thanks for sharing the vid.

    yeah, it's kind of funny what people expect from high stress situations like that and what actually happens. movies/drama have skewed perspectives in a lot of areas...
