Great stuff, didn't know he had got a bit of power back on the right engine over the Hudson. He did manage a reasonable climb rate, but at the expense of airspeed, which pretty much sealed their fate. I like the comments just after: Capt; Any suggestions ? Foff; actually no.................splash. a well excuted 'tail in first' classic ditch, at a slow 125 kts.
