Airbus accident

On January 15 2009, US Airways flight number 1549, an Airbus A320 passenger flight bound for Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, NC, took off from New York-La Guardia Airport, NY. The airplane left LaGuardia's runway 04 at around 15:26. The primary officer had the plane flying.According to the crew, they saw a flock of Canada geese, as they were nearing an altitude of 3000 feet. The windscreen suddenly became dark brown and loud noises were heard. The engines started to lose power and both passengers and crew smelled something burning. Just then, the captain immediately took over and struggled while trying to control the plane. They tried to radio ATC about the emergency situation they are currently in, "It is Cactus 1549... We lost power in both engines... We are headed back toward airport LaGuardia..." Soon after, it became obvious that they were not going to reach LaGuardia and another prospected landing area at the Tereboro Airport was being considered at the time. However, the captain thought that the plane would not land safely and soundly on the short runway amidst a crowded spot. The airplane hits the waters of Hudson River in a sudden turn of events.All passengers evacuated the airliner, climbing onto the safe side of the wing and passing through escape slides. Coast Guard vessels as well as commuter ferries were sent to rescue every panicking evacuee.FlightAware.com claimed that the maximum altitude registered at 3200 feet when the aircraft stated to descend later crash-landing on the river. The very last radar input gotten by FlightAware confirmed the airplane was at 300ft in the air and 153kts or 176mph.The European company Airbus, manufacturer of Airbus A320, announced on January 16 2009 that they would be sending a flight safety investigating team to New York to assist in establishing why an Airbus A320 aircraft hit the waters of Hudson River. The state governor of New York tagged the event as "a miracle on Hudson River", where all 155 passengers on board were saved after being rescued from a wing of the plane. Airbus declared it would be an awkward scene for them to speculate on why the plane had gone down and believe that the proper authorities are responsibly taking a deeper look at the cause. Early indications implied the two engines of the plane were crippled upon hitting a formation of birds, most probably geese. The NTSB or US National Transportation Safety Board also sent a 'Go Team' to New York to probe deeper into the main cause of the incident the same night it happened.Chesley Sullenberger, the captain of the plane, is being celebrated as a hero not merely for bringing the plane down calmly but for claiming he was the very last to get out of the plane. He surveyed the plane twice after everybody else was out to confirm that there was not a single soul left on board.
