#43 Sully

Sully
By Chesley "Sully" Sullengerger

Didn't read all of this book, just the second half, cause I really wasn't that interested in Sully's childhood and flight training, just the actual incident.

This book is about the flight that landed in the Hudson River minutes after take-off from an airport in New York. The plane hit a flock of birds and lost both engines. In three minutes, the pilots had to come up with a plan or face a catastrophe if the plane crashed over the city. They decided to land in the Hudson River and were successful. All the passengers and crew got out alive.

The movie features Tom Hanks as Sully, and for that reason, I will never watch that movie. Kind of turns me off for some reason, that they chose such a famous actor to play a here.

Rating: 4/5
Recommendation: Sure.
