A dramatization of one of the most amazing events in aviation history. After colliding with a flock of birds, both engines on Flight US1549 failed, forcing the pilot to attempt a landing on New York's Hudson River. Landing the plane was only half the battle; once the plane hit the water, passengers and crew had to be rescued before it sank into the freezing river. Now, this incredible story is retold by the passengers and crew onboard.
