Doreen Welsh Biography

When US Airways Flight 1549 crash-landed into New York's Hudson River in 2010 Doreen Welsh thought that her life was over. Doreen had been working as a flight attendant for 38 years and says that she`s had some interesting incidents in her career but none like the experience that was to become known as the Miracle on the Hudson.
There were 150 passengers the pilot Chesley Sully Sullenberger co-pilot Jeff Skiles and three flight attendants including 58-year-old Welsh on board when the plane went down in the Hudson.
About a minute after take-off those on board felt as if the plane hit something. That something happened to be birds-big birds-which took out both of the airliner's two engines.
Doreen working the back section of the airplane thought they were just going to circle around and land having made quick returns to the airport a number of times in the past. Instead as she fastened her safety belt she heard the three words for which she had trained for 38 years but words she thought she would never hear in her entire career BRACE FOR IMPACT! Doreen had 90 seconds until impact! Ninety seconds in which she knew instinctively would be her last in this world. The world was in slow motion as the pilot had to land the plane on the frigid Hudson River.
