Great piloting!

Just wrote this in another thread, but then saw this one.

In the news, they've just told, that Captain Sullenberger had walked through the watered plane, to make sure, everybody had got out. Still in the plane, he then called his wife via mobile phone, and said: "Darling, I'll be delayed; we just had a minor incident here." That's pilots - great people!
 
I wonder how many sim pilots tried to recreate the landing with A320's on MS flight sims....

Well done that man!

I guess that has to be a candidate for "best landing ever".


That is, of course, if you discount the Just Plain Lucky ones - the likes of the WWII Lancaster tail-gunner who jumped out from 20000 feet without parachute and survived.

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Alkemade -- OK, 18000 feet. What's 2000 feet between friends? I guess that depends whether it's the first 2000 or the last 2000...
