Come on, give me your hand.

Grab on, grab on.

Ok. We got you!

Give me a blanket, fast!

I was sure I was gonna die.

Hey, no one dies today, ok?

Here!

Give me your hand.

Here you go Captain, this way!

Let me see your hands up.

Gimme your hands, Sir!

Wrap around your arms.

We need a little more blankets over here!

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, we got them all!

Hello?

I wanted to call to say I'm okay.

Oh good, are you still on the 9:50 home?

There's been an incident.

I'm okay, I just crashed somehow.

Turn on the television

What do you mean, turn on the television?

Lori, I can't talk right now.

I'll call you from the pier

when things quiet down.

I had to land on the Hudson.

Sully, I, I, I don't understand.

I love you and I'm ok.

Tell the girls I'm ok!

But, I, I have to go!

Girls turn on the TV!

An extensive rescue effort in underway after a

US Airways flight crashes into the Hudson River.

Oh my God!

Whoever has clothing on, take it off and wrap up

on a blanket from the Red Cross.

You'll be okay.

Jeff!

Sully!

Dan, I need all it was heard,

how badly and I need it now!

155. That's my number.

That's passengers included.

Ok.

How are you?

I'll answer that question

when we're counted 155.

Alright.

Sort of. I won't be home tonight.

Surely, I cannot belive I am talking to you.

Captain, Captain...

I'm here to escort you to meet with Mayor

Bloomberg and Police Comissioner Raymond Kelly.

If the Mayor wants to say hello,

he'll have to come down here. We're still working.

Sully, I think we can assemble a counting!

Jeff! Jeff, I need a count!

We've got to have a count!

There's no way to give you a count

out here, Sully.

Sully! Jeff's right.

Let's get you into dry clothes before you freeze.

Captain, what if the Mayor and Chief Kelly,

come down here to meet with you.

I can't, because it was a domestic flight!

Yeah, but we got no manifest.

We gonna have to track

the passenger informations down. One by one!

Ok, can they help?

Yeah, I'm gonna call Sean Kerr

for him to get the count!

But Sully, listen! You've done enough.

Let me take it from here!

Jeff!

Pa! I'm okay.

I was on the other wing.

They brought us to Jersey!

I coun't, couldn't see you.

I couldn't find you!

I could hear you shouting my name the all time.

I shouted back. I guess the river...

- Are you okay?

- I'm okay, son!

I love you too.

We made it!

I mean... The plane.... the plane crashed!

On the river!

Are you kidding me?

Oh! It's unbelievable!

I've never been so happy to be in New York

in my life!

Hey, Patty!

Sups here been looking for you.

Everybody's goin nuts up top.

Aren't you coming?

I guess you didn't hear.

I lost Captain 1549 in the Hudson.

Yeah, I guess you haven't heard.

He had it, the son of a b*tch!

- What?

- Everyone's been pulled off!

It's a miracle!

- I left when I lost them all.

- They getting it at the TV in here.

God!

Seriously?!

What is my pulse read?

- It's 110.

- I'm on a my rest here on 55.

110. That's not good!

You are right, waking is not good.

Listen, what you just went through,

110 is extraordinary!

How is Doreen?

A fearly severe laceration, but we'll keep her

here to the extent of the infection.

I'm sure it'll be ok.

She'll have a scar,

and a hell of a story to tell.

Although no one will believe her.

Hell, I'm standing here with you right now,

and I don't believe it.

- You landed a plane on the Hudson

without a scratch.

Arnie?!

The Union has pulled on out

all the big guns today...

You took the damn risk, Sully.

Got a count?

155?

- It's official. 155.

- 155.

Oh, 155.

Thank you, Arnie.

- Hey, Carl!

- Jeff?!

- Sully?!

- Carl?!

Hell of a thing you pulled off out there today.

Well, we're here.

That's about all I know at the moment.

Oh! This is Miss May, with the Hotel.

Wanna have a quick word with you.

I won't take your time, gentlemen.

This only to say...

that my staff and I are committed

to protecting your privacy.

So if there's anything I can do, at all...

If it's possible, I'd love to have my uniform

dry cleaned overnight...

seen the clothing that I have.

- Dry cleaning?!

- If it's too much. I mean, it's too late.

Are you kidding? Captain Sullenberger,

I'd give you this whole hotel if I could!

Oh, Okay. Well thank you, Evelyn.

Thank you very much.

Yeah. Anything for Sully!

Have a blessed day.

What just happened?

You just got hugged by a total stranger.

Ah! Come on Sully!

When was the last time you heard of someone

landing a jetplane on the water...

and everybody lived?

Exactly.

I got shaving cream, razor blades,

two paisleys and... new clothes.

What?! Do you think we were ninjas?

Ain't much here than a robe to you.

It's Queens, 7 o'clock in the evening.

You find the brokes products!

Yeah.

Sully?!

What are you even still doing in uniform?

Well, I don't know.

Look, look guys! Hey! It's been a long day.

Why don't you get some rest?

Mike Cleary will be over the AM

and make sure you're both doing ok!

Thank you, Carl.

Well thank you, Captain.

You know, it's been awhile since New York

had news this good.

Especially with an airplane on it.

I'll see you there, Sully.

The word city officials keep

repeating it was timing....

the perfect timing of the NYPD Scuba Unit

and of the ferry boat Captain...

and of course the inexplicably

precise timing of the pilot...

Captain Sully Sullenberger,

who with almost no time...

became a man for all time.

- This is Christine Johnson, reporting live...

- The timing!

from the Hudson River.

Hey Sully, let me....

Come on, answer it...

Answer...

Larry, the CBR it's in 2 days.

How fast can you arrange a favor?

Sully?!

I know that AirBus has simulations

scheduled for the S42 center at the factory...

But that's next week, in Toulouse...

Can you get them to reschedule?

It's 1.30 in the morning?

I need you to make it happen, before

we listen to the CBR.

Before her testimony is complete.

Why?

I have a right to see the simulations,

and I have a feeling that with human pilots...

and not a computer,

the results are going to be different.

What if they show the exact same result?

If they do, then I'll hang in my head myself.

It's all about the timing, Larry.

You can accomplish anything for it

when in a hurry.

I sure as hell agree with that.

The CBR is on Wednesday, that's 36 hours.

Can you make it happen?

I'll try.

It's worth a phone call.

Well, it's already 7:30 in the morning in France,

so you better get started.

Thank you Larry.

Thank you.

Hey, Lori!

Hi. I'm sorry bothering you

before the hearing.

Sweetheart, what... What happened?

I just, I realized just now...

For the first time that there were...

there were 155 people on that plane,

and you were one of them.

We almost lost you.

Yeah, but, but you didn't.

I'm right here.

- How are you holding up?

- Oh, I'm holding up.

Please tell me this is almost over.

It's almost over.

Okay.

I love you.
