![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Officials have finally released the dramatic audio recording of the moment Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger called in a double bird strike and warned air traffic control that Flight 1549 "might end up in the Hudson." 
It's amazing how cool and calm everybody acted in the situation, however there was one moment of confusion -- during the brief communication, neither the pilot nor the traffic controllers identify the correct number of the flight -- 1549.
Sully calls it "1539" and the traffic controllers call it "Flight 1529" -- didn't matter in the end though, they still pulled off a "miracle."

Why is it that air traffic control was not listening to Captain Sully?
Even after he said he was going down in THE HUDSON the air controller was telling him what runways were free. Captain Sully kept his calm even though he knew his aircraft was going to crash land. The calm in his voice is amazing.........a real hero.

That is such a miracle. I think the controller did a great job of trying to find him different runways in just seconds. I am sure that he didn't want to hear that it was going into the Hudson. I can't even begin to imagine everything that was going through Capt. Sulley's mind as he was trying to land that plane. I had the news on when it happened and I never thought everyone would live. He is a hero and it's such a miracle and a blessing. I hope they are all doing well.

Wow! Captain Sully is a real hero. He was so calm and I dont think I ever heard his voice crack once. Rainbow68 is so right on the whole crew was heroic and grace under pressure saved many lives that day. Seeing them being honored at the Super Bowl was definately the highlight.

The former shadow of WTC one.:
And the clowns in Hollywood think they have some real contribution to spaceship earth? I can't help think of the contrast between Cap Sully and Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin, Et Al...

Congrats to Capt Sully and his crew. He will tell you(and he would be absolutely correct) that ALL airline pilots are subject to yearly training that requires them to handle situations much like the landing in the Hudson. Almost every capt. you meet when flying could have done exactly the same thing as Sully. This is why they used to be paid so much. When a situation arises where they CAN save your lives...they WILL.

THIS WAS NOT A MIRACLE OR A BLESSING!!! God had nothing to do with building or landing that plane. It was many people staying calm, actually listening and using years of training to overcome a crisis situation.

I don't think the air controller realized he was going into the Hudson River because the air controller he would have flipped out. It would've been you're landing where? did he just say the Hudson as in the Hudson River. holly cow!
