About this listen

 Alexandra Reeves breaks down the extraordinary engineering and physics that made the 2009 Hudson River landing survivable, examining how the Airbus A320's fly-by-wire technology, ditching-resistant fuselage design, and precise impact angles created a narrow margin between catastrophe and the rescue of all 155 passengers. This episode explores the science behind water impact dynamics, cold water survival, and the engineering decisions made years earlier that would ultimately be tested on that frozen January afternoon.
