Brilliant Videos Of Sully’s Hudson River Landing

Written by Igor Beuker on March 10th, 2009 | 8 comments

It has been more than a month since captain Chesley Sullenberger landed his US Airways jet in NYC Manhatten’s Hudson River. But flight fanatics, gamers, animators and motion designers are earning massive attention with impressive animatimated videos recreating the miraculous landing on water. Here’s my favorite…

Most of them are using sims like Microsoft’s Flight Simulator to navigate the virtual skies over New York. Some of these wannabe pilots are going so far as to use recordings of the conversations between the flight crew and air traffic controllers to recreate the five minutes and 40 seconds of US Airways Flight 1549 with eerie accuracy.

I was really surprised and shocked by the internet again. This is so amazingly realistic. Especially with the original conversations between the pilot and the control tower added. What would we do without online video on the internet? Hope brand marketers are getting the power of online video embedded to their 2009 digital engagement strategies…

Some other simulations I liked are below. Also pretty amazing material…
