  On January fifteenth, two thousand and nine, the engines of a US Airways plane lost power shortly after its takeoff from LaGuardia Airport in New York City.The pilot reported a double bird strike-a rare event where birds enter both engines.

  It happened so early in the flight, at a level of about nine hundred meters, that the crew had little time to decide what to do.Captain Chesley Sullenberger decided against landing at a small airport nearby or returning to LaGuardia.

  Instead, he, his co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles and their three flight attendants prepared for a water landing.Captain Sullenberger carefully and smoothly guided the Airbus jet into the Hudson River.People watched from skyscrapers overlooking the near-freezing water.

  The passengers and crew got onto the wings as water entered the plane and the aircraft floated downriver.Boats quickly came to the rescue of all one hundred fifty passengers on the flight.Captain Sullenberger walked through the plane twice to make sure everyone was off.

  On January twenty-fourth, the pilot known as“Sully”was honored in his hometown of Danville, California.He told a crowd of thousands that he and his fellow crew members were just doing the job they were trained to do.

  The former Air Force pilot had his fifty-eighth birthday a week ago.He has been flying for more than half his life and was unusually well prepared for the events that day in New York.For one thing, he is good at handling a powerless aircraft.He is a glider pilot in addition to flying big jets.But Chesley Sullenberger is also an expert on air safety, including accident investigations, and even has his own consulting business.
