Flight 1549 Reconstruction Video

There's a fascinating video on YouTube which reconstructs the flight of United Airways 1549 in the seven minutes or so before it ditched in the Hudson River last January.

The images are accompanied by the radio transmissions. It really makes one realize anew just how short the time frame was to make critical decisions. I felt renewed appreciation for the calm professionalism of all involved.

Friday Update: Here's interesting background on the creation of the video by an engineer. (Hat tip: Instapundit.)
