Similar event occurred in Turkey yesterday. Fortunately no one got injured and plane just stopped just few meters above the sea.

Worth remembering this incident and how it was handled by the pilots.

Inspiring, you guys should check out the movie Sully starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood which covers the Miracle on the Hudson.

Worth remembering this incident and how it was handled by the pilots.

Pakistan is to blame for allowing so many housing developments near the airport, both of the airplanes avoided crashes because they either landed in the water or empty land.

Very true but this story is amazing in itself

There are a couple of similarities between US Airways Flight 1549 (15 January 2009) and PIA Flight 8303 (22 May 2020).
(1) The aircraft was the same in both cases, the Airbus A320.
(2) The planes both lost power in both engines.

Amazing how they managed to save every life and handled it so beautifully. Definitely, a day to remember and learn from

This was depicted in the film Sully with Tom Hanks if I'm not mistaken?

A very famous and inspiring story of human courage and spirit!
