Movie: Sully
Ben Edwards: Multiple airports, runways, two successful landings, we are simply mimicking what the computer already told us.
Charles Porter: Now, a lot of toes were stepped on in order to set this up for today, and frankly... I really don't know what you gentlemen plan to gain by it.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Can we get serious now?
Charles Porter: Captain?
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: We've all heard about the computer simulations, and now we are watching actual sims, but I can't quite believe you still have not taken into account the human factor.
Charles Porter: Human piloted simulations show that you could make it back to the airport.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: No, they don't. These pilots were not behaving like human beings, like people who are experiencing this for the first time.
Charles Porter: Well, they may not be reacting like you did.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Immediately after the bird strike they are turning back for the airport just as in the computer sims. Correct?
Charles Porter: That is correct.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: They obviously knew the turn and exactly what heading to fly. They did not run a check, they do not switch on the APU.
Charles Porter: They had on all the same parameters that you faced.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: No one warned us. No one said You're going to lose both engines at a lower altitude than any jet in history. But, be cool, just make a left turn for LaGuardia like you are going back to pick up the milk. This was dual engine loss at 2800 feet followed by immediate water landing with 155 souls on board. No one has ever trained for an incident like that. No one.

Movie: Sully
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: It's not a crash, it was a forced water landing.

Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Impossible. I felt it go.

Elizabeth Davis: I'd like to add something on a personal note: I can say with confidence, that after speaking with the rest of the flight crew, with bird experts and airplane engineers, after running all the scenarios and talking to each of the players... there is an X in this result.
Elizabeth Davis: It's you, Captain Sullenberger. Take you out of the equation and the math just fails.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: I disagree. It wasn't just me, it was all of us. Jeff, Donna, Sheila, Doreen. The passengers, rescue workers. Air traffic control, ferry boat crews and scuba cops. We all did it. We survived.

Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: [New York late at night and both men can't sleep so they decide to go for a walk. It's cold outside and both are bundled up]It's all so unreal. I guess I'm just having a little trouble separating reality from whatever the hell this is.

Jeff Skiles: Sully [pause]
Jeff Skiles: don't worry. You did a great thing and it's going to be remembered for a very long time.

Jeff Skiles: Come on. Tomorrow's going to be a good day. Computer SIMS will prove you were right and we can all put our wings back on.
Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger: Do you want to run? [Both men go jogging on down the street]
