First Officer Skiles, is there anything you'd like to add? Anything... you would have done differently if you... had to do it again?
Jeff Skiles
Yes. I would've done it in July.

Ben Edwards
Multiple airports, runways, two successful landings, we are simply mimicking what the computer already told us.
Charles Porter
Now, a lot of toes were stepped on in order to set this up for today, and frankly... I really don't know what you gentlemen plan to gain by it.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Can we get serious now?
Charles Porter
Captain?
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
We've all heard about the computer simulations, and now we are watching actual sims, but I can't quite believe you still have not taken into account the human factor.
Charles Porter
Human piloted simulations show that you could make it back to the airport.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
No, they don't. These pilots were not behaving like human beings, like people who are experiencing this for the first time.
Charles Porter
Well, they may not be reacting like you did.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Immediately after the bird strike they are turning back for the airport just as in the computer sims. Correct?
Charles Porter
That is correct.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
They obviously knew the turn and exactly what heading to fly. They did not run a check, they do not switch on the APU.
Charles Porter
They had on all the same parameters that you faced.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
No one warned us. No one said "You're going to lose both engines at a lower altitude than any jet in history. But, be cool, just make a left turn for LaGuardia like you are going back to pick up the milk". This was dual engine loss at 2800 feet followed by immediate water landing with 155 souls on board. No one has ever trained for an incident like that. No one.

Any ideas?
Jeff Skiles
Actually, not...

You know, it's been a while since New York had news this good. Especially with an airplane in it.

Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
It's not a crash, it was a forced water landing.
Charles Porter
Simulation showed that you could make it back to the airport.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Impossible. I felt it go.

Elizabeth Davis
I'd like to add something on a personal note: I can say with confidence, that after speaking with the rest of the flight crew, with bird experts and airplane engineers, after running all the scenarios and talking to each of the players... there is an X in this result.
Elizabeth Davis
It's you, Captain Sullenberger. Take you out of the equation and the math just fails.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
I disagree. It wasn't just me, it was all of us. Jeff, Donna, Sheila, Doreen. The passengers, rescue workers. Air traffic control, ferry boat crews and scuba cops. We all did it. We survived.

Jeff Skiles
What did you think?
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Hearing the CVR just now?
Jeff Skiles
Let me tell you what I think.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
I'm just so damn proud.
Jeff Skiles
And you, you were right there, through all that distraction. With so much at stake.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
We did this together. We were a team.
Jeff Skiles
Thanks, Sully.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
We did our job.
Jeff Skiles
We did our job.

Bartender - Pete
[Sully walks into a pub and sits at the bar]
Hey, is that you? Are you the pilot, Sully? that is you, right?
Bartender - Pete
Hey, it's a pleasure to meet you. That was unreal what you did the other day, that was really something. It's a real pleasure to meet you. You know, we invented a drink after you as soon as that happened, ain't that right, Johnny?
Johnny - Drunk Customer
Yeah, yeah, you did.
Bartender - Pete

ATC #1
Aren't you coming?
Patrick Harten
I guess you didn't hear. I lost Cactus 1549 in the Hudson.
ATC #1
Yeah? I guess you haven't heard. He landed the son of a bitch.
Patrick Harten
What?
ATC #1
Everyone's been pulled off. It's a miracle!
Patrick Harten
That's not possible.

LT Cook
A pilot never stops acquiring knowledge. You'll make mistakes, everyone does. Just learn from them.
Sully (16 Years Old)
Yes, sir.
LT Cook
And never forget, no matter what's happening, to fly the airplane.

Sheila Dail
Just once I'd like to get out of LaGuardia on time.
Donna Dent
Well, you know the only way to get out of LaGuardia on time.
Sheila Dail
Yeah, what's that?
Donna Dent
Fly out of JFK.

[after landing on the Hudson successfully with passengers and crew being assisted off the ferry boat]
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Dan, I need to know who's hurt and how badly and I need a count... 155, that's my number... That's passengers and crew
Dan Britt
OK, and how are you?
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
I'll answer that question when we've counted 155
Dan Britt
All right
[later on in the hospital and Arnie walks in]
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Arnie, The union is pulling out all the big guns today, huh
Arnie Gentile
Talked to Dan Britt, Sully... got a count... 155
Arnie Gentile
It's official... 155
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
155... 155... Thank you Arnie

[New York late at night and both men can't sleep so they decide to go for a walk. It's cold outside and both are bundled up]
It's all so unreal. I guess I'm just having a little trouble separating reality from whatever the hell this is.
Jeff Skiles
This is two men freezing their asses off.
[They both laugh]
Jeff Skiles
Sully
[pause]
Jeff Skiles
don't worry. You did a great thing and it's going to be remembered for a very long time.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Funny thing is, I've delivered a million passengers over 40 years in the air and in the end I'll be judged on 208 seconds.
Jeff Skiles
Come on. Tomorrow's going to be a good day. Computer SIMS will prove you were right and we can all put our wings back on.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
Do you want to run?
[Both men go jogging on down the street]

Jeff Skiles
I'm hoping six months from now we'll just be laughing about how we got to meet David Letterman.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger
We're going on David Letterman?
Jeff Skiles
Yeah, right after the next NTSB interview. I'm guessing David's going to be slightly funnier.

First Officer Skiles, is there anything you'd like to add? Anything you would have done differently, if you had to do it all again?
Jeff Skiles
Yes.

Welcome onboard US Airways flight 1549, with service to Charlotte. Please review the safety instruction card in the seatback pocket in front of you. It explains the safety features of this aircraft, as well as the location and operation of the exit and flotation devices.
