Capt. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger is the hero pilot who safely ditched his jetliner loaded with 155 souls in the Hudson River last January after multiple bird strikes killed his engines. His copilot that day was Jeff Skiles.
Now, ExoSphere 3D has created a stunning 3D reconstruction of the accident. You can watch the takeoff, bird strike and ditching in real time, overlaid with cockpit readings, real time transcripts of cockpit and air traffic control conversations. You can hear the icy calm of pilot Sullenberger and his co-pilot Skiles. And you can hear the helpless air traffic controller making alternate suggestions for runways right to splashdown. Gripping stuff.
