Perfect presentation of life and death

I quickly typed this film review against the manuscript on the computer, and I couldn’t finish it in 208 seconds. In life, there are many 208 seconds every day, we do nothing, and it goes by in a flash. 2009.1.15. The 155 people on American Airlines flight 1549 experienced 208 seconds, but they passed by the gate of hell and came back to life. The plane lost power at low altitude, and Captain Sally made the right choice to make a forced landing on the Hudson River, creating a miracle that all the crew survived. These 208 seconds are still the time from the collision of the geese to the landing on the river. After the twin engines were turned off, the captain figured out the situation he was facing, contacted the air traffic controller, returned to the flight, consulted the emergency manual, and made a decisive decision to make a forced landing on the river, which only took about half a minute. It's impossible to think about it in such a short time. Abandoning the runway and deciding to ditch the river was just Sally's instinct. But this instinct includes the calm and decisive psychological quality, the accumulation of 42 years of flying experience, and the usual preparation and thinking for various special situations. Choose 1 out of 4 at the juncture of life and death, choose the right answer, it is not a fluke. It is a great blessing to have such a captain. In the movie, the air traffic controllers burst into tears when they learned that the flight was about to make an emergency landing in the river. He knew how dangerous it was for a plane to crash into a river. The resistance of water is 600 times that of air. Once it enters the water in a bad posture and tilts left and right, it may crash and roll over, tearing the machine body, and the river water in the cold winter will pour into the ruptured engine room, and the consequences will be unimaginable. I asked a veteran pilot who has been flying for more than 20 years, and his answer was: In addition to the perfect handling of the captain, miracles depend to a large extent on the will of God. The wind direction, wind speed, the flow direction and flow velocity of the river are high... Many uncontrollable factors are just what people want. For example, the section of the Hudson River is wide and straight, which is good for the aircraft to maintain a stable attitude; the river flows from north to south, and the flow direction is the same as that of the forced landing. The flight landed on the river smoothly, and rescue ships such as the ferry and the coast guard arrived one after another and rescued all the people in a quick and orderly manner. A disaster that happened suddenly and disappeared quickly. The whole process is like an exercise, thrilling, but every link is orderly. In addition to sighing the miracle, it is really thought-provoking. The entire film also allows the director to control this tension and calm atmosphere. The National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) post-mortem investigation and a flashback of the course of the incident, two lines crossed. Repeated inquiries deepened the conflict in the plot, and repeatedly verified the captain's wise decision, showing a mortal hero who accomplished miracles under the care of God. Even if NTSB is deliberately blackened, it is not too much, and it seems to be a compliment. Standing in different positions, sticking to procedures and responsibilities, and not blindly following heroes and public opinion, are also praised. Just like the joystick is firmly in the hands of old Sally, the director of old Dongmu is still so trustworthy. He made an air crash that did not explode, did not die, and ended in just a few minutes into a 96-minute tense and smooth film. show people

Sully quotes

  • LT Cook: A pilot never stops acquiring knowledge. You'll make mistakes, everyone does. Just learn from them.

    Sully (16 Years Old): Yes, sir.

    LT Cook: And never forget, no matter what's happening, to fly the airplane.

  • Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: [New York late at night and both men can't sleep so they decide to go for a walk. It's cold outside and both are bundled up] It's all so unreal. I guess I'm just having a little trouble separating reality from whatever the hell this is.

    Jeff Skiles: This is two men freezing their asses off.

    [They both laugh]

    Jeff Skiles: Sully

    [pause]

    Jeff Skiles: don't worry. You did a great thing and it's going to be remembered for a very long time.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Funny thing is, I've delivered a million passengers over 40 years in the air and in the end I'll be judged on 208 seconds.

    Jeff Skiles: Come on. Tomorrow's going to be a good day. Computer SIMS will prove you were right and we can all put our wings back on.

    Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Do you want to run?

    [Both men go jogging on down the street]
