On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 famously made an emergency landing in the Hudson River after both engines failed shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport in New York. The bird strike caused both engines to fail, but Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles successfully landed the Airbus A320 in the river, saving all 155 people on board. The incident became known as the Miracle on the Hudson and was a testament to quick thinking and professionalism under extreme pressure. The event was widely celebrated as an example of effective emergency procedures.
