Hudson

From CHPO

On January 15, 2009, an Airbus A320 struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off from LaGuardia, losing all engine power. Given their position in relation to the available airports and their low altitude, pilots Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles decided to glide the plane to ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, with only a few serious injuries. This frame is for Sully, Jeffrey and all heroes among us! A mustard frame made from recycled plastic, combined with a brown lens.
