there have been 14 such incidents in 38 years, but actually remembered
almost all.

How many flights do you recall?


How about a successful airliner ditching captured on film?

More than 50 years before Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger saved 155
people by ditching a US Airways jetliner in the Hudson River, there
was Richard Ogg. The Pan Am pilot successfully ditched a Boeing 377
Stratocruiser in the Pacific Ocean in 1956, saving all 31 people
aboard. The heroics became the subject of a book, a movie, television
features and training videos.
