Expert: Pilot 'did everything right'
The pilot who managed to safely land a plane on the Hudson River in New York today, saving the lives of all 150 passengers on board, did “absolutely everything right,” according to an aviation expert.
US Airways Flight 1549 had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport en route to Charlotte, North Carolina, when it struck a flock of birds, and David Learmount, operations and safety editor of Flight Global, said that the pilot made a textbook landing.
