    Unbelievable. Dunno about USAirways, but had this been a United flight one of the passengers could've listened in on all of this, which for me at least, would have been reassuring. #planelopnik

    William Langewiesche’s new book, which is about this very landing, has just come out:

    [www.amazon.com]

    He’s also written a feature about it for Vanity Fair back in June:

    @Peter Orosz: I'm a big fan of his. Here's another VF article detailing a mid-air collision over the Amazon that brought down an airliner. Compelling, chain-of-events-leading-to-disaster story, all of which is told in WL's richly detailed style.

    That is amazing. Good find. Additionally, you can listen to Garrison Keillor's musical tribute to Chesley Sullenberger III et al. The rhyming is a bit tortured, but he does manage to name the entire crew. Pretty fun.

    @powermatic: Awesome. Forget about bugattatra. Don't know what his issue is. Clearly he has no sense of class. Thanks for sharing it. I only get to hear the show once in a very rare while. Seeing Garrison Keillor live at the local back-from-the-ruins theater was a great experience. Reading The Book of Guys an eye-opening experience. And listening to Dusty and Lefty is a gut-busting experience. #planelopnik

    @bugattatra: Strong words about a mild-mannered midwestern comic writer. Are you sure you're not confusing him with Michael Moore? Regardless, I hope you've talked to your doctor lately about high blood pressure medication. Cause with anger like that, you're sure to have some blood boilin' issues.

    As for me, I'll continue to tune in for stories of Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average. #planelopnik

    @Racin_G73 - dirt track legend (some day ... maybe):

    P.S. I'm a midwesterner too - born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, spent a lot of time in Wisconsin and Minnesota growing up. I have a deep love and appreciation for middle America, but I cannot stand PHC. #planelopnik

    @bugattatra: Welp, you know what they say about arguing on the internet... I'm gonna go ahead and like PHC - along with all the other people who have made it arguably more famous than Car Talk and the others you referenced... And I'll continue to laugh out loud while reading Keillor's books. I welcome you to enjoy all the rest of the fine programming you can find. #planelopnik

    @bugattatra: No sweat. In my NPR listening career, I've gone from steady PCH, to never PCH (too many fart jokes, an audience way-too-primed to laugh at anything) to now an occasional listen if I'm in the shop. I just happened to hear this 'song' at the peak of Sulley Fever, and thought it was clever-and I did like how he named everyone involved. I'm still there for Click 'n Clack, and Wait Wait though-that's some funny shit. #planelopnik

    @MrHowser: Training is intense. My wife worked as an EMT in Boston for a couple of years and wow.... her ability to control stress in her voice was insane.

    When our roommate OD'd on heroin in the bathroom and the Cambridge paramedics showed up she was all "gentlemen, we have a 23 year old male with an alleged history of IV drug use. breathing is blah blah blah and pulse is blah blah blah. his girlfriend says he has a history of IV drug use..." Her ability to become a robot in stressful situations is/was surreal. Good to know she'll stay cool when I drop to the floor with a heart attack.

    I can only imagine the sort of mad skillz you pick up from decades of flying frickin' airliners.

    Scully is amazing, but let's not forget to give credit to the aviation world for training people like him so well in the first place. *hat tip* #planelopnik

    I'd expect to see this on Craig's List in about two years:


    For Sale of Trade

    Low Miles Airbus

    Ran well until it was last landed, been in storage since

    Exceptional history

    Perfect for full restoration, partially disassembled for better access

    Slight water damage and minor engine issues

    Wife says it has to go

    Will consider trades for other airliners, air craft carriers or space shuttle

    @the new guy: The first rule is you can do anything given enough time, money and resources. The aging thing is the third rule and is tied inversely with the schedule and directly to the budget.
