Producer Darlow Smithson Productions for the Discovery Channel Synopsis: In January 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from New York's La Guardia Airport en-route to Charlotte, North Carolina. Within minutes, a double bird-strike destroyed both engines and the crew made the terrifying decision to pitch the Airbus A320 into the Hudson River. Using intimate and emotional interviews, as well as large-scale dramatic reconstruction, Miracle Landing on the Hudson takes us inside the plane for a personal view of that dramatic, terrifying, and ultimately triumphant ordeal. It is both a moving portrait of a collective near-death experience and an adrenaline-fuelled fight for survival.
