Thursday's talk of miracles morphed into Friday's talk of mastery. It was human skill not magical powers that prevented catastrophe, the networks' transportation correspondents concluded. The flight crew "made all the right moves, all the key split-second decisions," stated CBS' Bob Orr. When its engines failed, the jetliner "became a glider," ABC's Lisa Stark summarized. "In a masterful move the cockpit crew cleared the George Washington Bridge by 900 feet and set the plane perfectly in the water." And NBC's Tom Costello called it a "textbook emergency landing that will likely be studied and analyzed for years to come."
ABC's in-house aviation consultant John Nance (embargoed link) went to a flight training simulator in order to talk anchor Charles Gibson through the proper piloting procedures. Once it became clear that the jet had lost power "the first thing to do is push the nose over, trading altitude for airspeed and setting up a stable descent." Once the decision had been made where to land, the next task is "getting down over the water about five or ten feet and then holding it and holding it and letting it slow…raise the nose up and set it down on the engines and the tail." Nance explained that the pod-style engines hanging below the wing are designed to snap off on impact so that the wings stay attached to the fuselage.
