Film 'Sully' Recounts the Miracle on the Hudson
It was dubbed "the miracle on the Hudson."
In 2009, a U.S. Airways flight made an emergency landing on the Hudson River after a bird strike caused the plane's engines to fail.
After the incident, pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger was hailed as a hero for putting the plane down on the icy river and saving all 155 passengers on board. Now, Hollywood is giving the incident a dramatic treatment.
The trailer for the film "Sully" debuted Thursday. The movie is directed by Clint Eastwood and starts Tom Hanks as the titular character.
