Trivia

The film is based on the autobiography, "Highest Duty" that was co-wrote by Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow, about the safe landing of US Airways Flight 1549 known as "Miracle on the Hudson", that occurred on Thursday, January 15th, 2009. The airplane lost engine power, after hitting a flock of Canadian Geese during climb-out at approximately 2800ft AGL and 200 Nautical Miles Per Hour. Each of the two engines ingested at least two Canadian Geese (avg weight between 7-10lbs.) and neither engine was able to produce sufficient thrust to sustain flight after ingesting these birds, Capt Sullenburg was able to ditch the aircraft in the Hudson River, resulting in the survival of all on board.
