An American Hero

On January 15,2009, Flight 1549 left New York’s LaGuardia Airport on a short flight to North Carolina. It was a cold, clear day, and the 150 passengers and five workers on the plane expected a normal flight.

However, about three minutes after the plane left the airport, a flock[1] of birds flew into the plane’s engines[2]. Passengers say they heard a loud noise and started smelling smoke. Everyone started to feel scared.

The engines lost all their power. It was an emergency. The pilot wasn’t sure what to do. He knew he couldn’t fly the plane back to the airport without power. He didn’t want to crash the plane into people in New York City. He needed to make a decision fast.

The plane was now over the cold waters of the Hudson River. The pilot decided that landing in the river might be the only thing to do. It would be difficult and very dangerous. But Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger was a very good pilot. He thought he could land the plane safely in the water.

Captain Sullenberger told the passengers and flight attendants to prepare for an emergency landing in the water. He chose a place on the river near some boats. He thought that the boats could help save people from the cold water of the river after they landed.

At 3:31 p.m., Captain Sullenberger started the descent into the Hudson River. The plane hit the water seven minutes after it left LaGuardiaAirport.

Fifteen people were hurt, and the plane was destroyed because of a small flock of birds. But thanks to Captain Sullenberger, the flight attendants, and rescue workers[3] in boats, everyone got out of the plane. The water was very cold and some people went to the hospital, but no one died. Many people called Captain Sullenberger and his flight attendants ‘real American heroes.’
