The Hudson River was not a runway.

On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 lost usable thrust shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia after encountering a flock of large birds. Minutes later, an Airbus A320 floated on the Hudson River - damaged, surrounded by rescue boats, and carrying 155 survivors.

The world called it a miracle.

But aviation safety asks a deeper question: what made that survival possible?

Black Boxes Opened: Special Edition - The Hudson Miracle goes beyond the famous image, the headlines, and the movie memory to explain the chain behind one of the most extraordinary survivable aviation events of the modern era.

Inside this concise premium edition, you will discover:

- why returning to LaGuardia was not as simple as it looked on a map;
