US Airways Flight 1549 ditching and evacuation
Ausência de aterrissagem e evacuação do voo 1549 da US Airways
Captain Sully asked controllers for landing options in
New Jersey, mentioning Teterboro Airport.
O Capitão Sully perguntou aos controladores sobre as opções de aterragem em New Jersey, mencionando o Aeroporto de Teterboro.
Permission was
given for Teterboro’s Runway 1.
Foi dada permissão para a Pista 1 de Teterboro.
Sully initially responded
“YES”, but then: “We can’t do it...we’re gonna be in the
Hudson”.
Sully respondeu inicialmente "SIM", mas depois: "Não podemos fazer isso... vamos estar no Hudson".
Captain Sully commanded over the cabin address
system to “brace for impact” and flight attendants relayed the
command to passengers.
O Capitão Sully ordenou pelo sistema de som da cabine para "preparar para o impacto" e os comissários de bordo passaram o comando aos passageiros.
Meanwhile, air traffic controllers
asked the Coast Guard to caution vessels in the Hudson and
ask them to prepare to help with the rescue.
Entretanto, os controladores de tráfego aéreo pediram à Guarda Costeira que alertasse as embarcações no Hudson e as preparasse para ajudar no resgate.
About 90 seconds
later, the plane made an unpowered ditching, descending into
the middle of the North River section of the Hudson tidal
estuary.
Cerca de 90 segundos depois, o avião fez uma aterragem sem propulsão, descendo para o meio da secção North River do estuário de maré do Hudson.
Flight attendants compared the ditching to a “hard
landing” with “one impact, no bounce, then a gradual
deceleration”.
Os comissários de bordo compararam a aterragem a uma "aterragem forçada" com "um impacto, sem ressalto, seguido de uma desaceleração gradual".
Sully opened the cockpit door and gave the
order to evacuate.
Sully abriu a porta da cabine e deu a ordem de evacuação.
The crew began evacuating the passengers
through the four overwing window exits and into an inflatable
slide/raft deployed from the front right passenger door.
A tripulação começou a evacuar os passageiros através das quatro janelas de saída sobre as asas e para um escorrega/bote insuflável acionado pela porta dianteira direita do passageiro.
The
evacuation was made more difficult by the fact that someone
opened the rear left door, allowing more water to enter the
plane.
A evacuação foi dificultada pelo fato de alguém ter aberto a porta traseira esquerda, permitindo a entrada de mais água no avião.
Water was also entering through a hole in the fuselage
and through cargo doors that had come open.
A água entrava também por um orifício na fuselagem e pelas portas de carga que se tinham aberto.
Finally, Sully
walked the cabin twice to confirm it was empty.
Por fim, Sully percorreu a cabine duas vezes para confirmar que estava vazia.
