planedriver Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Just came back from seeing the movie "Sully" and wondered who else has seen it, and what you thought? Personally, I loved it. I thought Tom Hanks and the rest cast did a brilliant job and I may even go and see it again, which is something I can't recall ever doing before. How the authorities tried to prove that he could have made it to two of the available airports was cruel, but i'll say no more. Can thoroughly recommend seeing the movie. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good movie not a documentary. They had to have a baddie and the NTSB investigators were made out to be villains. The investigators are not happy with how they are shown in the movie. US aviation investigators say they’re unfairly villainized in Clint Eastwood’s film “Sully” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexrbetter Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The investigators are not happy with how they are shown in the movie. US aviation investigators say they’re unfairly villainized in Clint Eastwood’s film “Sully” I am surprised at their response (and very difficult to express deadpan in a forum post! ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Most importantly, does the landing on the Hudson end with the Airbus exploding in a massive fireball, just as the last passenger steps off it?? Wouldn't be Clint Eastwood and Hollywood, if it didn't. Oh, and I trust there was the regular amount of gunplay, and crazies with assault rifles included. Did Tom Hanks say in it, somewhere, "Go ahead - Make my day!!" If he did, I'm off to see it, pronto!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Just an aside, The Mt Erebus crash in the antarctic, THEY (we know who there are) tried to blame the pilot for bad navigation, raided his home to take everything from there. Even though the government Changed the flight map to remove a mistake that all pilots knew about, Without telling anyone. spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdseye Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Enjoyable and no glaring technical errors I noticed. If there is any truth at all about the conduct of the simulations, then the NTSB have nothing to shout about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Air NZ is a national Icon. Yes crook stuff was done there, but you don't EVER just rely on ONE aid where lowest safe altitudes are concerned .Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who've never really thought about their obligations to their passengers, and sliding the pieces of cheese around to cover the holes won't be though. Awesome film.

Litespeed Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 ABC site has a article by local academics on "Sully" a good read, fair and to the point. Will see the movie when I can.

Robbo Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Aside from the movie, bit disappointed with the whole incident. I am always hearing about the Captain (Sully) but what about the FO Jeff Skiles, you never hear about him much. It was not just Sully flying that aircraft !! Also the cabin crew was involved, seems all we hear is Sully the hero !

planedriver Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 For sure, it was a great TEAM effort Robbo, but that extra stripe seems to count a lot. Frequently, there seems to be an underdog who lacks notable recognition, who's also a very important part of the overall equation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
