"I was drunk... I'm drunk now."

Wait, wrong airplane movie.

When an f4 Phantom pilot tells you he "eyeballed it", you respond with "excellent decision Sir. Thank you and congratulations."

*THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE.* Sully himself hates this movie for how it portrayed the investigators. They are legally required to investigate every crashlanding everytime it happens. Sully made it clear that they were very respectful and understanding to the situation and cleared the whole thing up quickly. They just added this drama to make the movie longer.

[TheVergile]

no sir - I used the IBM supercomputer we have in the cockpit to do a few million simulated landings and asked the boys back at the airport to check the calculations through while I went and got myself some coffee and leftover lasagna from the kitchen. It checked all out, so after we all had a short nap to ensure maximum efficiency we put it down in the Hudson River.

Sully managed to land the plane because he eyeballed it. Meanwhile, Denzel managed to land the plane because he eightballed it.

As a Kerbal Space Program player, there is no such thing as crashing, only lithiobraking

[drummer]

Unrealistic. Crash investigators would have understood the difficulty of running "calculations" in the limited time available

[leighrate]

I think Sully made one other decision that isn't being discussed: That was to if humanly possible not kill anyone on the ground. Even if the landing is unsurvivable going into the Hudson limits the damage.

[jamesyount]

There was no where near this level of cynicism from officials in reality. This movie really did do a hatchet job on a lot of professionals for the sake of drama and contrived conflict.

[rainbowwriter]

Sully was a hero, especially to the NTSB. He prevented certain tragedy and did what should have been impossible with no time to prepare. He had only his years of commercial and military aviation to tap into. And a crew that worked like a well oiled machine.

[tigertim]

The eyechrometer is widely regarded in engineering as one of the most reliable tools. Didn't know it was used in aviation too.

[GNZOU]

The movie negatively portrays the investigators when in actual fact it's just standard procedure.

But I love the point about "I eyeballed it", when you have no engines and you're deciding what to do you can't waste even a few minutes going back and forth with control over what action to take and whether it will work, pilots are indeed trained to have good judgement in this kind of situation and make that call on what action is most likely to save the most lives. The real life event is truly a testament to training and experience, not only from the pilots but also the cabin crew, and also demonstrates why it's important to pay attention to pre-flight safety videos and follow cabin crew instruction.

[preston]

I think people see a movie based on an actual event and think "Yep, that's how it happened." The NTSB did not try and make Sully out to be the bad guy or even try and say he made any mistakes. He actually got very high praise from the NTSB for his decisions.

I wonder how many people think Rose and Jack were real from Titanic??? lmao

[jenntip]

Experience and one hell of a gifted pilot saved lives....the end.

[Turtle]

This is actually good testament to what mastery looks like. Whatever you do it becomes second nature to you. Much like he said about thousands of flights. For people like him "eyeballing" is on whole different level that it would be for inexperienced pilot.

[Jayfive]

Sully should have simply said:
"Sirs, Madam, I direct you to my co-pilot's awesome moustache. Your arguments are now invalid."

[hansenfiet]

“Eyeballing” it is why everyone onboard survived. That and 40+ years of flying experience.

[maxuniverse]

no one died?
thats a landing in my book...
hell, he could have landed inside a volcano, no casualties?
LANDED in a volcano

Not enough altitude to perform the “Impossible Turn.”

When technology fails you, experience and Sir Isaac Newton in the driver’s seat is the only alternative left.
