RJA #14a: Application Project Progress Report

For this application project, I am going to write journal entries about the Hudson River crash where the A320 lost both engines due to bird strikes and the captain was forced to glide the plane in. I would like to act as though I was the first officer on that flight. I would describe the thought process that went through my mind and the captains mind as we were gliding that plane into the river.

So far on this project I have accomplished several things. I have begun my research on this incident and on the captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. I have also decided how the journal entries are going to be written. They are going to be written as if I am very shaken by the event and that I am very grateful to have been flying with a glider pilot during this incident.

What I have yet to accomplish on this project, is actually forming my ideas on paper. This will take a lot of work because I have to write it to sound like a journal entry. I have also not found all of the sources I am going to use yet. This should not be to hard of a task because there is a lot of information on this incident.
