A Miracle On Hudson Research Paper

on a radical move: He’d ditch the plane in the hudson river.” During the situation Sullenberger

US Airways Capt. Chesley Sullenberger is now a hero due to his actions on January 15, 2009. The 57 year old guided an emergency water landing with an Airbus A320 into the Hudson River saving all one hundred fifty five people aboard. Even though he saved everyone, some people still view him as less than a hero because he took a risk.

That is what happened to the famous aviator, and his wife’s 20 month old baby.

A few days later Lovell and his crew take off on the Apollo 13 mission. At first all is well until the second oxygen tank explodes, causing many problems for the crew; the most potent problem being that the crew was losing oxygen fast. Luckily, due to much ingenuity by the crew and mission control, the crew is able to arrive safely to earth without the deaths of any astronauts.

As they flew over the Canadian Wilderness, the worst thing that could possibly happen to the pilot, happened. “He stopped as a fresh spasm of pain hit him. Even Brian could see how bad it was--the pain drove the pilot back into the seat, back and down.” (page 10). This was the start of the symptoms for a heart attack, the pilot was having a heart attack. All Brian knew about the plane he was in was a brief lesson from the pilot and what he had read in books. “He was flying but did not where, had no idea where he was going. He looked at the dashboard of the plane, studied the dials and hoped to get some help, hoped to find a compass, but it was all so confusing, a jumble of numbers and lights.” (page 16). Once he had the plane in control, he had to use his knowledge to land. As a result of the heart attack, this was the start of the longest 54 days of his life, he was all alone

They answered back by asking where he was and what were the conditions. Th radio lost the signal and Brian was stuck flying the plane. Brian flew for about three hours till he realized he was going to run out of fuel. There was only one thing to do in the middle of the wilderness with only trees everywhere. He would have to cr!

The plane that he was in got shot up by enemy Japanese planes while he was trying to get the doors where the bombs were released to open, but he couldn't manage to close them. Most of his crew got shot up at the end of the fight, but the injuries weren’t fatal. Louis was fine and so was the pilot but the plane had got shot up and the brakes didn’t work so the pilot had to attempt to land the plane without the brakes. Luckily the pilot managed to land the plane with the help of some rocks stopping the plane. After this incident Louis managed to hit a 4:12 mile beating his old record at the base he was at. Phil later on came to Louis with a new crew and told him that they were assigned to go on a rescue mission for survivors of a plane that had not come back after it was deployed. They had to go search the ocean with binoculars taking turns. At one point in the search the planes’ engine went out and they had to prepare to crash in the ocean. Only 3 out of the ten crew members on the plane survived the brutal crash. The people who survived were Phil the pilot, Francis a tail gunner, and Louis the bombardier. They stayed afloat by dragging each other onto two life

The fact that there was seventy four people on board that day is astonishing. Only six people that were on that plane survived, and it’s eye opening to hear or read this man's story. Roger Rosenblatt’s story is very eye opening and it shows that you should live life to the fullest. He titled the story “The Man in The Water” because they didn’t know who it was that risked his entire life for those six people. Many people, including me, would be confused as to why he wouldn’t didn’t take the rope after the others. The man really didn't think about himself, he were to he would have taken that rope. Many people really only think about themselves, and those six people that were saved, should respect that they are still alive and that man risked his life to save all of

A hero is a man of courage and ability who is admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. A hero is a person who does not come along very often in any time period. He is a special person, who is a step above the average person in the way that he handles any situation that may arise.

A hero in my eyes is someone who helps others without being asked. For example opening a door for someone if they are carrying multiple things. The hero feels caring for others is valuable. For example when someone is sick you take care of them. They are determined to achieve and be successful.

A rocket explodes and its crew are dispersed through space in many directions. Stone asks Hollis how long they can talk by phone, who calculates an hour. Stone is heading to the moon, while Hollis is heading to Earth, where he knows he’ll burn upon entering its atmosphere. Stimson can’t stop talking of how it’s a long way down, unable to believe what happened. Hollis tries to talk him into calm but is antagonized by Applegate, who goads Hollis further by pointing out he can’t be stopped from saying what he likes. Soon after, two of the men began to scream; one of them came close to Hollis, who decides to put him out of his misery by breaking his glass faceplate. Applegate then calls out to Hollis; when the captain interferes, Applegate tells

During World War II Louis and the rest of his crew were in the Green Hornet flying over the ocean looking for survivors of a missing plane. The Green Hornet lost control and crashed into the Pacific Ocean with three survived, but only two survived

The chances of landing a plane in water and surviving is almost next to impossible. Chesley Sullenberger was marked and molded into saving lives since he was little. He’s shown persistance and tanacity in the face of death. His service in the military, suicide prevention to his most notable act commonly referred to as “miracle on the hudson” ,Chesley sullenberger is hailed a hero.

The plane was severed in half and blood stains filled the center aisle. Passengers were filled with the urge to yell at the sight of such a horrific scene, however a crippling, yet tense silence filled the atmosphere. Bodies, cold and unconscious, were thrown onto the floor, where they laid at peace. I rubbed my eyes and found myself with drops of red brownish blood covering my hands. I tried to forget about my injuries and focused on finding safety. Unscathed children waited outside the aircraft impatiently in the hopes of recognizing a familiar

His mind started to become flooded with negative thoughts. He tried to snap out of it but couldn’t. He closed his eyes and took a nap. A couple hours passed and then he abruptly woke up. There was a very pungent smell of smoke that awoke him. The sound of the engines roared throughout the plane cabin. It did not sound like a very pleasant sound. He was still groggy from his nap and was unaware that both engines had began to smoke. There was an announcement overhead.
