Ten years ago today US Airways Flight 1549 ditched safely on the Hudson River in New York.
After takeoff the plane experienced a birdstrike and lost engine power.
The Airbus A320-214 was piloted by Chesley Sullenberger.
All 155 people on board the plane survived.
The pilot received many plaudits for his successful 'landing'.
A film 'Sully: Miracle on the Hudson', featuring Tom Hanks, was made about the spectacular event. The film received some criticism on a number of issues.
