Step into one of the most gripping moments in aviation history with the NEW YORK HUDSON (SULLY) immersive simulation experience offered in Seville, Spain. This hour-long adventure plunges you into the intense scenarios faced by the heroic crew of US Airways Flight 1549, which famously executed an emergency water landing on the Hudson River in 2009. Through meticulously crafted simulations, you will relive the series of events from bird strike to the calm, calculated landing that saved 155 lives.
The simulation begins with the sudden and terrifying impact of a flock of Canada geese hitting both engines of an Airbus A320 mid-flight. You’ll feel the immediate loss of power and the tension that sets in as seconds become critical. This moment encapsulates the chaos and split-second decision-making faced by Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles.
Next, the scenario shifts to the evaluation phase, where the crew assesses their limited options: whether to attempt a return to a nearby airport or seek a safe landing site. This immersive step invites you to grasp the pressure and responsibility weighing on the pilots as they decide the fate of everyone on board. It offers a rare chance to appreciate the mental agility and leadership required in emergency aviation.
The highlight of the experience is the recreation of the historic water landing on the Hudson River. With a virtual backdrop mimicking New York City’s skyline, you’ll sense the adrenaline of the maneuver, the precise coordination, and the calm that defined the legendary "Miracle on the Hudson." It’s more than a simulation—it’s a tribute to skill, courage, and teamwork.
