"Cactus 1549. Runway 4. Cleared for takeoff."
"Cactus 1549. Cleared for takeoff."
The sound of a jet engine whirls as starts and takes off.
And then the engines sounded as if they were struck by something. And soon started to shut down.
"Mayday, mayday. Cactus 1549." Chesley Sullenberger called. "We've lost both engines. Both engines.
"No relight on one or two." Jeff Sklies announced.
"Cactus 1549, if we can get it for you, do you wanna try to land runway 1-3?"
"Departure control, we can make it." Sully called. "We're turning back towards LaGuardia."
The Airbus A320-214 begins to turn around, leaving 2 trails of smoke behind from the engines.
A few minutes, the plane was now hundreds of feet over New York's Central Park as it was now nothing more than a giant glider.
"LaGuardia Tower, Cactus 1549, trying to make 1-3." Sully said.
"Sully, we're too low." Jeff exclaimed. "Sully, we're too low!"
"Come on." Sully said with a little hope.
The 123 foot long, 37 ton plane soars through the maze of buildings, and in a bank angle of 45 degrees upward at the right wing.
Inside the cabin, the passengers were screaming in fear.
"Just a little further." Sully said softly. "Come on."
But the plane was nowhere near the airport now.
"Sully!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Lorrie, I love you." Sully said to his wife.
The plane falls towards the ground at over 150 miles an hour. And the right wing grazes the side of a building.
And a few seconds later, the plane crashed into the base of a building. And a large explosion triggers as debris from the plane and the building were thrown everywhere.
In a hotel room, Sully suddenly woke up and breaths heavily as the whole thing was a nightmare.
Author's Point of View of that day.
I honestly don't remember much of that day on January 15, 2009. I was 9 when it happened, but I do remember seeing the news showing of what happened.
And when 2016 film, Sully came out. And when I first saw it, I could hardly believe that it actually did happen.
Perhaps after 42 years of aviation experience of a veteran pilot might be the reason of saving everyone on that plane.
And, the 10th anniversary of that day is what had me write this story.
Enjoy.
