15 января 2009 самолёт US Airways приводнился на реку Гудзон в Нью-Йорке и находился некоторое время наплаву, в то время как пассажиры перебрались из салона на крылья в ожидании спасателей. Спустя несколько часов все были спасены, а самолёт пошел на дно. Чтобы его достать из ледяной воды, группа инженеров использовала крупнейший на восточном побережье плавучий кран. Фотограф Стивен Маллон, который снимает в стиле industrial, задокументировал этот процесс, и в настоящее время открывается его выставка “Приготовьтесь к удару: последствия рейса 1549″ в галерее Сол-Медник в Университете искусств, работы будут выставлены с 28 мая по 7 августа. Маллон в крупномасштабных фотографиях передает физику и масштаб этого непостижимого происшествия. Фото показывают последствия этой катастрофы, напоминая о том, как мастерство пилота и мужество экипажа предотвратило возможную трагическую развязку, несмотря на крошечные шансы счастливого исхода. Маллон нашел свое призвание в промышленной фотографии. Он был очарован промышленностью с подростковых лет, и его фотографии передают ощущение чуда в конструкциях из стали и бетона. Его услугами пользуются такие компании как Publicis и Sudler & Hennessey. Мэллон, чьи фотографии были отмечены Communication Arts, New York Photo Festival и the Lucie Awards, является одним из лидеров фото сообщества. С 2002 года он был членом совета директоров Американского общества фотографов и занимал пост президента с 2006 по 2009 год.

По моему, это больше похоже на любительский фоторепортаж.

The Salvage of Flight 1549 opens at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia

Stephen Mallon Photo Exhibition Documents Flight 1549's Recovery from the Hudson River print version 'Brace For Impact: The Aftermath of Flight 1549' runs through August at the University of the Arts

May 21, 2010

On January 15, 2009, the world became fascinated with the story of a U. S. Airways jet that splashed down into the Hudson River in New York City and then floated along calmly as passengers crowded its wings for rescue. Soon afterward, a salvage team used the East Coast's largest floating crane to extricate Flight 1549's fuselage and engine from the nearly frozen water.

Industrial photographer Stephen Mallon documented this process and reveals it to the world in the exhibition "Brace for Impact: The Aftermath of Flight 1549" at the Sol Mednick Gallery at the University of the Arts May 28 through August 7. Mallon's large-scale photographs impart a physicality and scale to these incomprehensible occurrences. The images present the viewer with the aftermath of this disaster, reminding them how it was averted despite nearly unbeatable odds through the mastery and bravery of the pilot and crew.

Mallon found his calling in industrial photography. He has been fascinated by industry since his teenage years and his photographs convey his sense of wonder at the engineering of concrete and steel.. His commercial clients have included Publicis and Sudler & Hennessey. Mallon, whose photos have been honored by Communication Arts, the New York Photo Festival and the Lucie Awards, is also a leader in the photo community. Since 2002, he has been a board member of the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers and served as president from 2006 to 2009. He lives in New York with his wife and their daughter.

This exhibition is concurrent with Barbara Yoshida's "Megaliths/Night/Sky" in Gallery 1401 (the Sol Mednick Gallery’s sister space).

The Sol Mednick Gallery, located on the 15th floor of Terra Hall (211 S. Broad St.) in the Media Arts department, offers a regular schedule of exhibitions of contemporary photography. The only endowed gallery in Philadelphia dedicated solely to the exhibition of photography, the gallery earned the Photo Review Award for service to photography and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2009. Associate Professor of Media Arts Harris Fogel has been the director of both galleries since 1997. Summer gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a. m. – 5 p. m.; weekend hours by appointment. Call 215-717-6300 for further information.

Brace for Impact: The Aftermath of Flight 1549

Of all the guests who gathered at the Front Room, in Brooklyn, last Saturday for the opening reception of photographer Stephen Mallon’s exhibition, “Brace for Impact: The Aftermath of Flight 1549,” perhaps the most notable was Denise Lockie—a passenger on the US Airways plane that crashed into the Hudson River last January.

“The reality is overwhelming,” she said of Mallon’s large-scale photographs, which detail the salvage of the plane from the water in the weeks that followed. “Knowing what we went through that day, and the emotions from everything that happened, it’s hard for me to walk through and look at the damage to the aircraft. I don’t think people realize how much damage was done to the plane.”

Mallon got the call to photograph the salvage from Weeks Marine, the crane company hired for the rescue. He spent two weeks with the company, as well as with various federal agents and firemen. “It was an exhilarating and beautiful process, but every once in a while, it’d hit me that there was a plane in the water,” he said.

"Brace for Impact: The Aftermath of Flight 1549" is on display through October 11. Herewith, a slide show of images from the show.

Brace for Impact, the Aftermath of Flight 1549

The Front Room Presents  "Brace For Impact: the aftermath of flight 1549" Photographs by Stephen Mallon September 10th-October 11th, 2009 Reception Sat. Sept 12th, 7-10 Viewing hours: Fri-Sun 1-6 and by appointment "On Jan. 15, 2009, a few Canadian geese with bad timing became snarge, a steely pilot became a hero, and the world became fascinated with images of a jet splashing into the Hudson River and then floating calmly as passengers crowded its wings. But until now, few people have seen the equally surprising pictures of the second half of this story: when a salvage team used the biggest floating crane on the East Coast to pluck the ill-fated Airbus A320 from the frigid water.” Matthew Shechmeister, “Wired Magazine” Front Room Gallery is pleased to present Stephen Mallon's "Brace For Impact: the aftermath of flight 1549.” It is very difficult to encapsulate the events that happened during and following the crash of flight 1549, but Stephen Mallon's large-scale photographs, taken during the salvage of the fuselage and engine, impart a physicality and scale to these incomprehensible occurrences. Mallon's photos present us with the aftermath of this disaster and remind us how it was averted despite nearly unbeatable odds through the mastery and bravery of the pilot and crew. Never before has a commercial aircraft crashed in the Hudson with the complete survival of all passengers and crew. They were rescued by the Circle Line sightseeing cruise ferry (along with other rescuers) almost instantly. Men, women and children waited their turns patiently standing on the wings of the plane, half-submerged in the icy water on what felt like the coldest day of the year. This feat is a testament to the bravery of the crew and passengers. As the fuselage and engine of the aircraft were later brought up intact by a gigantic crane and a team of divers in heated wetsuits, Stephen Mallon captured the moment standing on the deck of the crane-barge. In Mallon's uncanny photographs the plane sometimes appears to be a metaphorical wounded animal, like a whale lifted completely out of the water. It is damaged, beat up and missing one of its engines, but it nevertheless survives. The divers, in their heated wetsuits with huge face-gear, seem like astronauts floating through an icy void in space. And, we finally get a glimpse of the famous engine—disabled by some unfortunate Canadian geese—in a stunning pseudo-portrait by Stephen Mallon as it is lifted from some eighty feet of icy water.
