's recent "Captain China" fire. The movie was adapted from the actual incident that the crew of Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 successfully handled in 2018. The next film introduced by Kumamoto is also based on the actual incident-"Captain Sally".
At the beginning of the film, Captain Sally (Tom Hanks) tries to fly a plane over New York City. The engines of the plane failed, and the pilot was trying to find a safe place to land. Sally lost control and crashed the plane into a building, causing a violent explosion. It was a nightmare, and Sally woke up with sweat and breathlessness.
In less than a week, Sally successfully landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, saving the lives of 155 passengers. The media called it a "miracle on the Hudson River." However, Sally is still brooding about this incident.
Sally and his co-pilot and friend Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) were called to meet with members of the committee investigating the incident. One of them, Charles Porter (Mike O'Malley), asked Sally some basic questions, such as whether he had enough sleep, whether he took drugs or alcohol, or whether he was having trouble at home. The big question is why Sally chose to land on the Hudson River instead of simply returning to LaGuardia Airport. Skiles defended Sally's actions because he was with Sally when the incident happened. Some people think that the engine on the left is idle and still working, but Sally retorted that he thought both engines were dead.
The media is also investigating the incident, and Sally accepted questions from reporters. He sat down for an interview with Katie Couric, who asked him how it felt to be regarded as a hero. Sally said he didn't think he was a hero. After the interview, Sally looked out the window and once again had the illusion of a plane crash.
Sally and Skiles met with the board again. They informed the pilots that several tests were conducted on the simulator and proved that it was possible to return to LaGuardia.
brings us back to the day of January 15, 2009. Sally and Skiles took off, but about two minutes later, a large group of geese flew into the engine head on, causing both of them to falter. Sally kept in touch with the control center personnel, but the plane disappeared from the radar. Then Sally warned everyone on the plane to be prepared for the impact. The flight attendants paid attention to the passengers and repeatedly told them to be careful. Sally and Skiles then descended to the Hudson River.
We saw another flashback to that day, but look at the passengers more broadly. A woman and her elderly mother wanted to bring a souvenir to her grandchildren. Two adult men were traveling with their father, and they barely boarded the plane before it took off. There was a woman with her child and a polite man sitting next to her. We even met the flight attendants who participated in this trip. When the plane broke down and began to descend, the passengers prepared for the worst. Some are texting their loved ones, while others are holding on to it. The polite man held the woman's baby for her. The plane landed on the river and soon began to flood. Sally ordered everyone to evacuate after the hatch was opened and the life raft was inflated.
A ferry team led by Captain Vincent Lombard (playing himself) went to the Hudson River to rescue passengers. The passengers were divided into two sides. At least two people jumped into the cold water, but they were all rescued. The ferry fleet began to pull people aboard. Some people were taken to Jersey. One of the men who almost missed the flight called his father. He has been with his other son since they separated, but they were happy to know that they were all fine.
Sally was taken to the hospital. He was told that all 155 people on board had survived. Later, he was taken to a hotel to stay, an employee gave him a big hug, he was shocked. He called Lorraine to let her know he was okay, even though she didn't know what happened, until Sally told her to turn on the TV with his daughters.
At the climax of the movie, Sally and Skiles attended the hearing with the board of directors and other officials to discuss the incident. Again, it proposed that all test pilots in the simulator were able to successfully bring it back to LaGuardia without problems. Sally believes that what they did not consider was the "human factor" because it was a matter of life and death, and no test pilot faced what he and Skiles faced.pressure. The directors tested again, and the apparent reaction time was 35 seconds (Sally mentioned several times that he took action within 208 seconds), which shows that if the test pilots react in the same situation, if they try to return LaGuardia, they will all crash in the city. Even an attempt to reach Teterboro Airport will prove to be fatal.
Then, everyone listened to a recording of Sally and Skiles on the plane. This is enough to prove to the board that the actions of Sally and Skiles are correct. Dr. Elizabeth Davis (Anna Gunn) commented that if Sally is removed from the equation, everything will go bad. Sally disagreed with this statement. He said that Skiles and the flight attendants should also be responsible for the landing of the plane. Davis asked Skiles what they would do if they changed. Skiles replied that he would do this in July. Everyone laughed. The final text of
stated that the ferry rescue team took about 24 minutes to rescue everyone on Flight 1549. The last thing Kumamoto wants to say is that there are no so-called heroes, only a team of heroes.
