Riveting submitted by smv on June 16, 2012, 9:03pm This expertly crafted tale of the passengers of US Airways Flight 1549 after it landed in the Hudson River tells stories of determination, fear, and courage. Follow the passengers and crew of the so-called Miracle on the Hudson as the engines are ruined by Canada geese and the plane is too low to land at an airport.
