It is hard to believe that the historic ditching in the Hudson River of US Airways Flight 1549 was more than a year ago on 15 January 2009. Much has been written about the incident and the captain of the flight, Mr. Sully Sullenberger has given us an interesting book about how he experienced this event sharig also his thoughts about many other things related to the highest duty.
EXOSPHERE3D, a company specializing in technical animation and scientific visualization of complex data sets has recently brought us a very nice photorealistic animation depicting Flight 1549’s movements from take-off to ditching in the Hudson River. The animation is based on the latest, most complete information avaiable about the flight. With ATC radiotelephony and the words of the crew in the cockpit perfectly synched to the pictures, watching this video makes you think you are watching live TV.
