Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the hero pilot known for landing a plane on the Hudson River in 2009, has shared a troubling theory on the recent D.C. plane crash that killed 67 people. He believes poor visibility from flying over water at night could have played a role, as the lack of ground lights makes it harder for pilots to judge distance and altitude. Sully also raised concerns about Reagan National Airport’s control tower, where the same controller may have been managing both helicopters and planes, highlighting potential risks from understaffing. He warned that small lapses in judgment during nighttime flights can be catastrophic. Sully’s insights call for more rigorous safety protocols and pilot training to avoid similar accidents in the future, underscoring that even experienced pilots can face dangerous challenges in certain conditions.
