Mistakes

Factual error: Scenes of the CGI Airbus A320 do not show the RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed. When the A320 loses power in both engines, the RAT automatically deploys to provide minimal electrical power to the plane. (01:20:05)

Trivia

Trivia: During the several scenes where the pilots are communicating with Air Traffic Control, they are always addressed as flight 1549. During the real incident, however, both the pilots and controllers misspoke, labeling the flight number as both 1529 and 1539. This was likely due to the intensely stressful situation.

Questions

Question: Shortly after the plane landed in the river, why was the air traffic controller removed from his terminal and replaced while the supervisor says someone will come down to administer standard tests?

Answer: Air Traffic Controllers have to be on top of their game at all times and not compromised. When something goes wrong, like a plane crashing that a particular ATC is overseeing, it is treated similarly to when a cop is involved in a shooting. They are temporarily relieved of duty and taken to be evaluated and drug tested to make sure the ATC was not on any drugs or substances that would have interfered with his or her ability to do the job, as well as to take the ATC out of a stressful situation and get someone fresh onto the job. My dad is a former ATC for the Marine Reserves.
