AdamSmith Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Old topic, but maybe not played out yet. Just re-found this slightly less familiar reconstruction of Sully and Skiles's achievement on the Hudson. Interesting in that it integrates (1) familiar air-to-ground voice recording with (2) transcript of never-publicly-heard words from cockpit voice recorder, overlaid on (3) dynamic map of flight path. What put me in mind of this was a new book by Sully on leadership: http://books.usatoday.com/bookbuzz/post/2012-05-17/sully-sullenberger-talks-leadership-obama-talks-fifty-shades/695761/1 Couple days ago I read about 1/3 of it sitting in a Starbucks embedded in a local Barnes & Noble. Cheap way to read! (Akin to my other Cheap Way to Read: between flights, hang in airport bookshops and pressure-read whatever they have that hooks you. Great way to get the gist, and decide whether to buy or pass.) AdamSmith 1 Quote
