A well know resilient behavior was demonstrated by the successful landing of Airbus A320-214 in US Airways 1549 flight
on the Hudson river on Jan. 15, 2009 , with its two engine disabled after

Resilience is essential for assuring the safety in operating risky systems (combat, transportation, production, medical, command and control), in which a disturbance ( HW fault, human fault, situation mismatch ) might result in casualties. The focus is on saving people life and ensuring their health.
