The speakers discuss the communication between the pilot and air traffic control during the emergency landing of Flight 1549 in the Hudson River. They also talk about the role of luck in aviation and share a humorous anecdote about flying with a rabbi as a co-pilot.
What does a pilot sound like? Malcolm and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey take off on a long, strange investigation that takes them from Las Vegas to Family Guy to the airspace over the Mojave desert and the cold waters of the Hudson river.
