Given their position in relation to the available airports and their low altitude, pilots Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles decided to glide the plane to ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. On January 15, 2009, the Airbus A320 serving the flight struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off from LaGuardia, losing all engine power. US Airways Flight 1549 was a regularly scheduled US Airways flight from New York City ( LaGuardia Airport), to Charlotte and Seattle, in the United States.
