There’s a good article in Salon’s Ask the Pilot column. Not a lot of new information on the specific case, but some context.
And lastly, let this be something of a lesson for those passengers who ignore those pre-takeoff safety briefings, scoffing at the seeming impossibility of a water landing. I know, the briefings are too long, too wordy and too bogged down with legal-ese and minutiae -- but there is good information in there, from the location and operation of the exits to the proper use of flotation devices.
True enough. Anyways, thank goodness everyone handled themselves well and got out safely. Speaks well of US Airways’ crews.
