AN amazing animated 3D reconstruction of the Hudson River ditching shows the flight from takeoff to hitting the flock of geese to the actual landing on water.
The analysis is by a US company, Exosphere3D, which specialises in 'technical animation and scientific visualization of complex data sets'.
As well as the animation of the flight from takeoff to hitting the flock of Canadian Geese right through the decision-making on where to land - the River Hudson - and the ditching itself, the analysis also shows how the birds were visible on radar, before and after the incident.
"The NTSB released the public docket for Flight 1549 on June 9, 2009." says the company. "The docket contains a wealth of information that can be utilized in a full 3D reconstruction of the accident.
"Our work goes deep into the underlying framework of information and encompasses the entire spectrum of accident information. Integrating all spatial and temporal data allows us to approach this accident from a never-before-seen perspective."
