Some of you may have heard of the miracle water landing performed recently in the Hudson river by a Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, where his quick thinking and calm demeanor allowed the plane to land in the river without a single loss of life. Now is your chance to see if you can pull of the same landing in this free game "Hero On The Hudson". Do you have what it takes, or will your plane sink before your passengers get out? Follow original source to find out.

The game is being received with some harsh criticism, with many calling it offensive.....find out for yourself, and let us know what you think.

US Airways pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's heroic splash landing into the River Hudson earlier this month saved dozens of lives and was heralded as a miracle.

Now a team of developers has created an online video game that lets users try their hand at his landing.

The game is set on the approach to the Hudson River, alongside Manhattan's west side, where the plane touched down in icy waters.

Players have to keep the plane balanced at the correct incline and bring it to a smooth landing on the water.

Failing could mean putting the lives of virtual passengers at risk, as the jet crashes and sinks into the river with an ominous gurgling sound.

    Are you kidding me? An online video game isn't nearly as difficult as it is in real life. A motion simulator would be better, and I think it would be more fun.

    Yeah the game was pretty lame, but I thought it was pretty odd how people were flipping out about it.
