There was only time for one clear order form the US Airways airplane pilot to the passengers: "Prepare for impact!" Seconds later, he performed a successful emergency landing on the Hudson River off Manhattan, New York, just six minutes after taking off from La Guardia Airport. During its initial climb, the plane hit a flock of geese, disabling both its engines. Unable to reach any of the nearby airports, an emergency landing on the Hudson was the pilot's only option. Miraculously, all 155 passengers on board survived and apart from a few broken limbs, no one was seriously hurt. The fact that the pilot was able to land the plane on river was a testament to his many years of training and dedication, but the great team of pilot, co-pilot and the rest of the crew played a significant part in this success. When the emergency landing was inevitable, all parts of the team automatically started the necessary procedures - preparing the plane for a landing on water, calming passengers and helping passengers climb out of the plane, once it had landed on the river. The flight crew had been widely praised for their actions during the incident, and then, President-elect Barack Obama invited the crew to attend is inauguration as President in Washington, D.C., five days later.
