Miracle on the Hudson

This is awesome! It’s a simulator re-creation of the flight of USAirways Flight 1549 that suffered a bird strike and went down in the Hudson River in late 2009, complete with overlays of the various different radio communications. No audio for the in-cabin discussions between Capt. Sullenberger and his First Officer, but you do get the transcript of what was happening in the cockpit. Listen for how quickly the NY Departure air traffic controller grasps what’s going on, and how calm he is as he works to open up any possible path for a safe landing. This is a fantastic testament to the professionalism of everybody involved in this miraculous event (nobody was killed!)

There’s another interesting simulation available, with a little less radio chatter and a clearer view of what it looked like from the plane. Click here to view it.

Learning Greek

A few books that are used to teach New Testament Greek at the Concordia Seminaries (mainly so that I’ve got the links somewhere findable):

Fundamental Greek Grammar by James W. Voelz
Greek Grammar – Supplementary Exercises by Mark Sell (optional, for more practice)
Novum Testamentum Graece (although the ESV English-Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament looks interesting)
