Question 5: a.) The plane landed in the Hudson River an angle of descent of 20 degrees traveling 6 more miles. At
what height did the airplane cross over the George Washington Bridge (e)?

b.) If the bridge is 212 feet above the water, how many feet did the airplane clear the bridge by?

c.) Air Traffic Control at LaGuardia Airport reported seeing the aircraft pass less than 900 feet above the
George Washington Bridge. Does your calculation support that statement?
