The New “Sully” Movie: How Accurate?
Airbus A320 Captain and Noted Aviation Author, Eric Auxier aka "Cap'n Aux", opines on the accuracy of the upcoming movie starring Tom Hanks about "The Miracle on the Hudson". Did Hollywood get it right? What can be gathered from just the trailers.... (airwaysmag.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Any movie directed by Clint Eastwood will be worth seeing.

Sully and crew did a fantastic job on the Hudson. Just wish he had kept his mouth closed about the 1,500 hr. rule! His presence in Washington changed the hour requirements for new pilots trying to get into Part 121 or 135 and all because the family of those tragically killed in the Colgan crash demanded action. He was a very visible target and Washington and the FAA used him to their best interest.

Yes Peter, that is correct, but apparently on Cactus 1549, the button was never pressed and on post aircraft recovery, inspection showed that the water impact ruptured th fuselage, so the button probably would not have made a difference.

Are you, by any chance, an attorney?
Was wondering the same, Todd.
It is a matter of public record:

Thank you Joel. I guess I could have researched that myself. That explains a lot.
