video is based on an actual event when , on january 15 , 2009 , u.s. airways flight 1549 was forced into a landing on water .
following a series of bird strikes , both engines failed , and the airbus a320 , piloted by captain chesley b. sullenberger was forced to land in the hudson river .
it is hoped the simulation can make people aware of the correct processes to follow for a landing on water .
the start of the virtual reality programme starts casual enough as the passenger moves to their seat .
