About two and half years ago a plane took off from LaGuardia, New York and minutes into the flight, it lost power on both its jet engines. It was flying at height of 700m. Burj Al Khalifa is 828m and the tallest skyscraper of New York is nearly 400m high.
The plane was still climbing when both its engines failed due to bird-hits and all it could do was try to find nearest airport for emergency landing, but there was non in the reach. It didnt even have time to turn back to La Guardia. What did the pilot do - land in the Hudson river.
The Hudson river was the only runway the plane could land on and it was brave decision that saved life of 155 passengers and crew members.
But here's something more interesting. Where's the plane that crashed.
Well, the company managed to salvage the plane before it could sink in the river and its now going to become a museum.
Here's more details on it.
And here's how the fateful accident took place
