    Jet Crash, NYPD Dive Team Police Officer's Story. May 03, 2023
    Show notes

    Jet Crash, NYPD Dive Team Police Officer's Story. "The Miracle on the Hudson: A NYPD Dive Team Officer's Tale"

    In an extraordinary episode of heroism, we revisit the unforgettable events of January 15, 2009, when a US commercial airliner crashed into the frigid waters of the Hudson River in the heart of New York City. Oscar Smith, a former NYPD Police Officer and a proud member of their esteemed dive team, shares his first-hand account of the remarkable rescue and salvage operations that unfolded, alongside the intriguing topic of Police Officer's dark sense of humor.

    The Show is brought to you in Part by 4 Patriots. Check out the new Patriot Power Generator 2000X, you get a solar generator that doesn’t install into your house. Because it’s portable.

And right now, you can go to 4Patriots.com and use code LET to get 10% off your first purchase on anything in the store.

    This event, famously known as "the Miracle on the Hudson," was triggered by a bird strike that incapacitated the aircraft. In the eyes of a National Transportation Safety Board official, it was hailed as "the most successful ditching in aviation history." The crash-landing involved 155 occupants, including 5 crew members, all of whom miraculously survived, despite the cold, swift waters.

    Oscar Smith, now retired from the NYPD, provides insights into the daring rescues and the challenging salvage efforts carried out by his team and fellow first responders. The collaboration and unwavering determination in the face of adversity showcased the best of humanity.

    Additionally, he delves into the peculiar but coping mechanism that is a dark sense of humor among police officers. It's a glimpse into how those who face the harshest realities often employ humor as a shield against the weight of their responsibilities.

    This gripping narrative brings to light the resilience and camaraderie of those who answered the call of duty that day, making it an unforgettable chapter in the annals of heroism.
