From ChatGPT: "US Airways Flight 1549 was a commercial flight that took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City on January 15, 2009. Approximately three minutes into the flight, the aircraft struck a flock of geese, causing both engines to fail. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and First Officer Jeff Skiles successfully executed a ditching in the Hudson River, an unprecedented event in commercial aviation history. All 155 passengers and crew members on board survived the incident, which was widely regarded as a "miracle on the Hudson." The successful ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 received widespread media coverage and was the subject of several books, documentaries, and a feature film."
