"We're going to be in the Hudson"

Listen to this recording of the conversation between the pilot of US Airways Flight 1549 and the air traffic controller. Everyone is very calmly speaking about something potentially very deadly. I get nervous just listening to it.

What's really freakin' amazing to me is how calmly pilot Chesley Sullenberger informs air traffic control that "We'll be in the Hudson," as if he did this every day. If I were the controller my response would have, "You'll be where now?" Guess it's good I don't do that for a living.
