I missed a word in the sentence, you asked, I answered. Notice you also didn’t answer. I take that as a yes, and confirms my trolling comment. Now, really done. I double checked my writing here so as there can be no more interaction.
I thought you were done with me?? you must like me ..I understandRelated to fe_mike.what is ''related fe mike''??!!Honey, are you related fe mike? Or is that you twin?
If Sullies word isn’t good enough for you, then nothing will be. Now, if you ever fly and have the same circumstances happen, you best hope you have one of the few pilots that have lived to safely bring the plane down flying it. Or one as astute.
Now, I am truly done with you. You are trolling, and nothing else.
again, her circumstances are nothing compared to all I have posted = not impressiveZero evidence? You keep saying just an engine failure. It was not. Here, let your hero tell you it was amazing-
Both Captain Sullenberger, 67, and Captain Shults, 56, are former fighter pilots with many years in commercial aviation. And both were given just moments to respond to an unexpected midair crisis that put more than a hundred lives on the line.

“It’s quite a challenge,” he said. “They would have been very busy all the way down.”
All 155 people on Captain Sullenberger’s plane, US Airways Flight 1549, survived that day, Jan. 15, 2009. One person, Jennifer Riordan, was killed on Flight 1380 on Tuesday, when shrapnel from the explosion burst through a window, causing a depressurization that sucked her partially outside the plane.
The other 148 people on Flight 1380, which was traveling from New York City to Dallas, survived. Captain Sullenberger attributed the plane’s safe arrival at Philadelphia International Airport not just to the skill of Captain Shultz but also to every crew member, including the flight attendants who desperately tried to save Ms. Riordan’s life.
“These kinds of events are life-changing for everybody on the airplane,” Captain Sullenberger said. “They divide one’s life into before and after.”
Pilots use a flight simulator to train for the possibility of midair engine failure, but the number who experience and survive one amounts to “a small club,” he said.
It is possible now to go through an entire airline career and never experience an in-flight engine failure,” he said.
And the kind of cascading crisis faced by Flight 1380 on Tuesday — an engine explosion that exposes the cabin to the open air, causes a decompression and fatally pulls a passenger partially outside the plane — is even more rare and difficult to handle.
“That’s one of the hard things about being a pilot these days when it is so ultra safe,” he said. “How do you remain vigilant enough, how do you have your skills and your own paradigm for how to solve any problem in an airplane even if it is one there is no checklist for?”
Sully Was Impressed by Southwest Pilot’s Emergency Landing
she had ALL her controls surfaces/aerodynamics intact
these planes can glide without ANY engines
here is another instance of a plane with more trouble--yet they made it
..Southwest not that impressive
If a typical passenger plane had total failure of all engines mid-flight, is it possible for passengers to survive?
yes--I will take you seriously
