Sully scene 'Can we get serious now?' Tom Hanks scene part 4

[stafcurtis]

"This is your Captain speaking...Brace for impact". Scariest words to hear as a passenger, then waiting what seems like forever for your possible demise. Sully is a hero.

It is scientifically proven that the presence of a mustache in the cockpit increase your chances of survival during crash by 50%.

[harborwolf]

The communication between the two ATC guys is so good.

No panic, just relaying information efficiently.

I know Aaron Eckhart has a supporting role, but his reaction upon opening his eyes after reliving what he went through....really expresses the emotion and trauma. Well done.

[Jungoguy]

If Sully hadn't made the decison to land in the Hudson, everyone on that plane and a lot of people on the ground would have gotten killed. He made the right call.

[zickzack]

That constant "Brace! Brace! Brace! Heads down! Stay down!" by the flight attendants in the background is chilling.

[Marchant]

If you passengers look out your windows, you'll see the George Washington Bridge directly above us.

[drfusioncraft]

Sully's script being from the cockpit recording, notice how Sully completely ignored traffic controllers once he knew they would be of no use to him. Got to focus on the task at hand and can't afford any distractions.

2:19-“You got any ideas?”
“Actually not.”
They actually said that in real life.

[Dueville]

"Ladies and gentleman, this is the captain speaking. On behalf of he crew, we would like to thank you for sailing US Airways."

[tshirtjay]

Any landing with everyone alive is a successful landing.

[dumwyteguy]

A lot of discipline to not undercut the tension with slow-mo or dramatic music, making the silence of no engines much more terrifying

[TheToolofLight]

After this flight, Tom Hanks got stuck in the airport for many months...

[jonatancordoba]

You know you're screwed when the QRH says "wait 30 seconds" at 500 ft.

[PikaPetey]

masterful edited scene and sound design. it required no music, but it's fucking intense.

[Kopp]

I think to this day, folks are unappreciative of the decision making and virtuoso piloting skills that enabled 155 people to walk away from what, on another day with another pilot, might have been a disaster. He hit the water at the perfect angle and perfect speed to maintain integrity of the plane so it didn't break apart. Hitting water at those sort of speeds is sort of like hitting concrete. From the moment of engine loss, to ditching in the river, this was a masterclass in maintaining a cool head, assessing the situation and coming to all the right conclusions, basically, how to respond to a dire emergency situation 101. Captain Sully should be given ALL the medals.

"Please take care when removing your bags as items may have shifted during landing."

[KenoSNeal]

Captain: "Brace for impact."
Everyone else: "Oh my god! No!"
Me: "That sounded like Tom Hanks. He was fantastic in Forest Gump."

[kindnessark]

They nailed every scene and moment that happened. This was trueley a miraculous story. I truely believe after the events of 911 in the year 2001, Sully truely restored the faith we have in our pilots today. He pulled every trick He could and every bit of training knowledge He had to land a broken plane into a vast ice cold river with hardly a scratch to the airplane and not a single bruise to any passengers or flight crew. Sully will be long remembered in time for what He and His fellow pilot did. Absolutely astonishing.

[Stevo]

I like how during that entire sequence there weren't any shots of a mom holding her kid, or some other scared passenger like you usually see in these kinds of movies. This was just two pilots confronting a massive obstacle and clearing it perfectly. Nothing else mattered.
