AUDIO FROM HUDSON PLANE CRASH

THE FAA HAS RELEASED THE AUDIO RECORDINGS FROM THE PLANE THAT CRASHED INTO THE HUDSON RIVER:

Yesterday, the Federal Aviation Administration released the air traffic control tapes from that plane that crashed into the Hudson River three weeks ago. (--Right after taking-off from LaGuardia Airport in New York on Wednesday, January 15th, U.S. Airways flight 1549 hit a flock of birds . . . lost power in both engines . . . and forced the pilot to make an emergency crash landing in the Hudson River.)

Basically, you hear the air traffic controller telling the pilot, Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, that they're going to clear a runway for him to land at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Without even the slightest hint of fear in his voice, Sully replies, quote, "We can't do it. We're gonna be in the Hudson." (--Dude's seriously got some gonads of steel.)

I have to say, it's pretty amazing how calm and professional Sully sounds on this thing. (CNN)
