Audio from US Airways Hudson landing

The FAA released the transcript and the audio conversation between Flight 1549 and controller at TRACON, which handles air traffic after they depart from New York airports. Captain Chesley Sullenberger and first officer Jeffrey Skiles were very calm and smooth. Captain Sullenberger even did the honorable thing and walked the aisles twice to make sure nobody was left on board before he evacuated. We need more honorable and courageous people like the crew out there. Play the audio as you read along with the transcript. Riveting.

Print with coffee...why not?


One of the top entries in the Greener Gadgets Competition is a printer that prints with the used grounds of coffee. Pretty cool huh? Wonder if it'll make it off the design table.
