The high and the mighty

Instapundit linked to this yesterday. Wired.com posted a story: "Don't miss video: Incredible look at US Airways Flight 1549." This is a virtual-reality reenactment of the ditching of a commercial airliner after a bird strike takes out both engines. Captain Sully Sullenberger slides the disabled airplane into the Hudson River. Tapes of the communication between the cockpit and two control towers are the soundtrack. Wired has links to additional videos, if your nerves can take more.

LohMan, who was a weapons controller in the ANG forever, could relate. LohSon, who does virtual-reality software programming, could relate. My review: It's unbelievably suspenseful and actually brought tears to my eyes. Just the matter-of-fact way these professionals went about their business fills me with gratitude.
