Mr. Langewiesche is a journalist who takes a close look at the events leading to the splashdown in the Hudson of US Airways flight 1549(both in the history of the airline industry and in the immediate lead-in and reactions of the crew and passengers to the emergency landing itself).
It's an informative look at the technology and engineering of passenger aircraft at the time and the politics involved. You come away with an appreciation of what Sullenberger and his crew actually did and the miracle that took place that day.
