A 2016 film “Sully”, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood, additionally wowed audiences with its account of his emergency landing.
Sullenberger urged a measured approach to investigating the crash, with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) compiling a report.
The NTSB “is the gold standard of the globe for accident investigation,” Sullenberger said, reminding that it took 16 months for the final report when his own flight crashed.
“We can have great confidence that the results will be found, they will be made public,” he said.
On Friday Trump posted new blame on his Truth Special platform, singling out the helicopter’s supposed trajectory.
“The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot,” Trump posted. “It was far above the 200 foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???”
