"...for 42 years, I've been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience, education and training. And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal," Sullenberger told 60 Minutes. In researching the Sully true story, we discovered that he learned to fly at age 16 in a Aeronca 7DC, taking off from...
Yes. Fact-checking the Sully movie reveals that the flight data recorder registered the plane at an altitude of 2,818 feet when the 66-ton Airbus A320 lost both engines after flying into a flock of Canada Geese at roughly 100 seconds into the flight.

Pilot Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeff Skiles didn't have enough time to go through the entire crash landing checklist. The ditch button, which seals the planes vents and outlets from taking on water, was never pressed. That, coupled with the fact that the impact had caused a breach near the plane's tail, resulted in the plane rapidly taking on water...
Yes. The Sully true story confirms that Captain Sullenberger walked the plane twice to make sure that all of the passengers had gotten out safely. Once outside of the plane, he ushered passengers into the life rafts. He then used a knife given to him by a ferry boat crew member to cut the rafts loose from the plane so that they wouldn't be pulled u...
Yes. The first boat to come to the aid of the sinking airliner was the ferry The Thomas Jefferson, which was part of the Hudson's commuter ferry services and was the closest vessel that could assist. It took approximately four minutes for ferry captain Vincent Lombardi to reach the floating plane. The ferry was not a rescue boat and its decks were ...

Yes. Like in the Sully movie, the real Chesley Burnett Sullenberger III later stated that he suffered flashbacks and insomnia for several weeks after the accident (TheObserver.com).
