Several years ago I heard Cpt. Haynes give a talk on that flight. If you
get the chance to hear him, it is well worth it!

Don’t forget, on July 19, 1989 Captain Al Haynes crash landed a
DC10 inSioux City, IA. 185 of the 296 souls on board survived.
The failure that caused the crash was “mathematically impossible”.
After it happened, the NTSB replicated the data of Flight 232 and
not one of the 57 crews they tested in the simulator could control
the airplane all the way to the ground.

Babin meant well, but to attribute the outcome of US Airways Flight
1549 to “God” detracts from decades of NTSB and FAA examination of
accidents and steady regulatory improvement to flight safety;
decades of engineering improvements; and many years of training and
discipline by the entire flight crew, including the flight
attendants. It all goes back to unemotional, impartial,
scientifically-based empirical science. Societies that recognize
that prosper; societies that don’t wallow in misery.
