Blackmac Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hats off to the lady pilot who by all accounts made the right PDM. The must have had to get tetnus shots after being in the Hudson River. :punk: :punk: :punk: :punk: Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transquebecniece Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 http://www.newsday.com/ny-heli0709,0,60617...y-top-headlines and http://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/...ny-nynews-print Kudos to her for stayin' cool as a cucumber! And I'm laughin' at that tetanus-shot thingy, Don. One of my guyz stayed on the Hudson on the Jersey side—cheaper to visit NYC that way. But kinda dirty and stinky. He fit right in! Ahahahaha!

Freefall Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I saw a cbs news clib on this and it was brutal. They showed a picture of either a longranger or a 407 or something and they said "here is a photo of the helicopter before the accident" haha. I think they also mentioned the pop out floats automatic deployment haha. Not a single credit to the pilot for a gross weight auto onto water with pop out floats.

Jan Pluemer Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have to agree, she did a great job.. For those who are interested, here is a video showing the EC-130B4 after "ditching" in the Hudson: http://www.griffin-helicopters.co.uk...?videokey=1629 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
