Attention Area Boaters!
Meet a true hero, Captain Vince Lombardi, at our Clifton class and exam this week!
On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 was scheduled to fly from New York City's LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte Douglas International Airport. During climb, the plane struck a flock of Canadian geese. The pilots' view was filled with the large birds; passengers and crew heard very loud bangs and saw flames from the engines, followed by silence and an odor of fuel.
Realizing that both engines had shut down, pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles decided to glide the plane to ditching on the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, Captain Vince Lombardi was the first boat on the scene to assist with the rescue efforts.
