Amazing audio from Flight 1549

[ddimm]

On CNN.

The pilot of US Airways Flight 1549 calmly tells air traffic control "we're gonna be in the Hudson" in tapes released by federal investigators today. All 155 aboard survived the January 15 ditching, and pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger was hailed as a hero. Listen the audiotapes.

I could swear I've heard that controller before.

There is a about a five minute audio clip floating around somewhere with him working ground that day with a big mess of aircraft. One guy screws up his turn onto an alleyway and the whole shebang goes to pot.

Funny as all get out if you can find it.

I wish I could sound as cool as Capt "Sully" in the same situation!!!
This guy is too much!
