Interesting movie news

Hi Proff !

  I saw an interview somewhere , I don't exactly remember where, in which Captain Sullenberger said emphatically " I am not a hero,I just did what my training prepared me for " " I am a Pilot, Pilots are trained for this !"

 He also said that although trained for this, he hoped all other pilots never had to do it .  T.B.

Ugh, crushing disappointment here. I really don't think I can stand another movie where I have to endure the stunning mediocrity of pasty Tom Hanks' "acting" onscreen...

Well, I guess if there's a bright side, it's that they could have cast Nicholas Cage or Keannu Reeves..

 

A real bright side is that, although these two are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, they came togehter to make a movie that will be of interest to many, many people.

The actual plane is sitting in the air museum here at the Charlotte Douglas Airport. Quite a sight to see how intact it is after the dunking in the river a few years ago. Very informative displays all around the plane describing each area of impact, and how the crew handled the entire situation.

IF THE PILOT OF FLIGHT 1549 WERE AN NYPD EMPLOYEE?

Everyone is calling that pilot a hero. Just imagine if he happened to work for the NYPD. How would this job treat a hero like that???

It turns out the two engines fell off during the accident
-Failure to Safeguard Department Property - 5 Days

The pilot yelled at that fat lady who refused to get off the plane
- Discourtesy- 4 hours

During the rescue operation, the pilots hat fell off
- Uniform Violation- 4 hours

The pilot was told to land at Teterboro, but he landed in the Hudson
- Failure to Comply with a Lawful Order- 30 days and year probation

The pilot was due in Charlotte, but did not show up
- AWOL, more than 5 days -SUSPENSION

And of course, the plane is now 'parked ' in lower Manhattan
Now that’s serious
- ILLEGAL PARKING = TERMINATION

 

 

 

Youre killing me Smalls...

LOL!

I agree. This should be a good movie.

Surfing around this evening I discovered that. A movie about Captain Chesley Sullenberger. Clint Eastwood is the director and Tom Hanks is the star. Google "Sully movie" for a few more details.

I'm looking forward to this one. Captain Sullenberger is one of my heroes.

 

Sounds like a great movie in the making. Clint has been doing some great films over the past two decades, and so has Hanks. Sounds like a fine pairing of talent in a great true story.
