In a previous life I was a co-pilot for a manufacturing co. I also was a flight instructor for about 3 years.

Anyway, listening to the tapes of ATC on the flight that landed in the Hudson makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up...

Here is a recreation of the plane that was forced to land in the Hudson. Pretty cool!
