Amazing graphic reconstruction of New York emergency landing

This amazing animated reconstruction of the emergency landing in the Hudson River in New York. The animation is overlaid with the actual radio traffic between the plane and air traffic control. What a hero this pilot was. You will not be able to just watch this once.

Lost Generation

I have been sent this video from several friends. Apparently it was done for a contest called U @ 50. It got second. The girl that produced this was 20. I wish I had had this clarity and wisdom at 20. You will enjoy this and find it totally inspiring. I did. Enjoy.
