"Sully in the cornfield?" Looking forward to more info on this.

What’s the Russian word for “Sully”? Incredible outcome. |

I assume in what appears to be a slow evacuation is due to following step number 1 in modern day evacuations -retrieve your luggage. That CFM sounds quite unhealthy. Top effort to tech crew. Full tanks, corn field and quite a bit of speed on the video. Great work guys! |

Judging from the very sketchy data on FR24 (supported by the video), the aircraft was already earthbound within 45 seconds of passing over the upwind THR. |
WOW
It doesn't get any better than this outcome. Everybody, quick, buy lottery tickets!

Great job by the Crew indeed . . I must also raise my hat to the CEO of the airline for the typical Russian Public Statement after the accident :
“There was an emergency landing in Zhukovsky. Birds got into both engines. Engines turned off, the crew carried out the landing,” Ural Airlines general director said , |
Well maybe something was lost in translation! In any case a great outcome. And to be honnest a lucky one too... |
Truly outstanding! All alive, well done!

Still a great job. This is why we have humans sitting in row zero. IMC/Night, build up areas around the airport and the chances would have been slim. Video looks like a flaps 1 (slats but no flaps) configuration at landing. Strange, but maybe not the worst option to have the wing staying intact. Looking forward for the report, again a lot to be learned. |
1+F my guess, common take-off setting. Check the other vid.

A lot to do in a very short time

VMC, level fields ahead, the chances were much better than in the lottery.

“Immediately after, in fact.”
OH dear! Mind you, let’s not be pedantic about pedantry.750ft?? David – to avoid too much knicker-twisting, we’ll go with your definition if it helps. |
Respect to the crew. Great outcome.

I hope we see this story featured as much as Sully's, or at least given credit due to the professionalism of the crew and the design factors - Asiana 214, Lion Air in Bali and PNG Chuuk for instance. It's amazing. I've out-landed over a thousand times, but a in a hang glider not in a A321 LOL.

They struck birds right on the runway

Some quick translations from the passengers on the first video:
"We're alive....we're f****** alive' Pax on phone: "It's bad news....but it's good news' Cabin crew: 'Would you mind moving away from here now, please. Thank you.' Result. |
