iPhone App Lets You Become iSully

Posted Mar 24th 2009 12:49PM by TMZ Staff

If even one person died during that amazing airplane landing on the Hudson River in January, this would be the most tasteless thing ever. But everyone was fine, so instead it's an iPhone game.

One of the top flight simulator programs around has released a game where you take on the roll of Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger by forcing you to make an emergency landing in the Hudson. The plane actually suffers engine failure as the result of a bird strike and -- are you ready for this??? -- features the actual audio communication between air traffic control and US Airways Flight 1549.

Flight school is expensive, but the app is only 99 cents.

31. Get over yourself people! It's a freaking game!

Is it in poor taste when you play a video game shooting down dirty japs from WW II?

If you want to make this game more realistic .. show a black man jumping into the water and trying to swim.

Now that will be funny!

32. While I do think the game is tasteless to a certain extent, isn't it ironic that TMZ posted a story about bad taste? Don't get me wrong, I come to the site nightly to get my celebrity scoop, but come on. TMZ having the audacity to try and "out" people for being tasteless is like Gloria Allred trying to do the same thing to a fame wh*re.

35. Like most people in the thread, don't believe it's poor taste since no one was hurt in the accident.

37. DISGUSTING. Yeah, nobody was killed, but think of the terror those poor people had to endure. And some loser is making money off of a GAME based on this horrible incident? People are so horrid. Only in America. Land of the insensitive, home of the unbelievably tacky.
