What the heck did "Emotionally distraught family members grasped at resolution while the pilots of the crash on the Hudson supported solutions founded in myth" mean? Perhaps this author should spend less time flying planes and more time learning how to write.
- jimrandomh 11y agoMaking "the crash on the Hudson" a link would've helped a lot. I guess for that the article's main audience, aviators and aviation bureaucrats, this is well known?
- notahacker 11y agoI thought this was pretty well known https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Airways_Flight_1549
- dkrich 11y agoI knew what crash he was referring to and even so, his statement made no sense to me because he didn't really explain what he was saying at all.

- ganeumann 11y agoI know about the landing on the Hudson (my apartment faces the Hudson and I saw it happen), but this paragraph still didn't make sense to me. What solution did the pilots push? Sullenberger, the pilot on that flight is both a glider pilot and a GA flight instructor, so he seems to be the perfect argument that GA skills lend themselves to better problem resolution in unexpected flight situations: he was essentially landing a glider when both engines went.
- falsedan 11y agoI didn't understand the point of the article, poorly-structured without informing the reader of recent legislation/decisions and how it affected them.
