Click play for the recreation of the US Airways flight from LaGuardia that pilot Capt. Chelsey Sullenberger landed in the Hudson last January after a bird strike over New York.

Back in August I posted the video for Trauma House‘s outstanding remix of Clipse and Kanye’s “Kinda Like a Big Deal.” They are back with Dr. Plot & Professor Problems’ audio-visual portrait of 50 Cent – “It’s 50!” – and a new website featuring all of their videos.
