FAA releases US Airways flight 1549 ATC transcripts
Sorry if our constant coverage of the US Air flight 1549 crash is beginning to bore you - but it isn't often that a plane ditches in a river, and everyone is able to walk away.
The news today comes courtesy of the FAA, who just released the air traffic control transcripts of the actual event.
The audio is pretty boring, so I cut out the most interesting part where the controller is told by the pilot that he's going to ditch in the Hudson river (as you can see in the image above).
If you really want to hear the conversation, you'll find the MP3 file here, or a written transcript here.
