Plane down in hudson river

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,480078,00.html

foxnews seems to have the best coverage

It is a blessing that pilot was able to go down in the water and that the plane stayed intact. How incredible the footage of the passengers standing on the wings in the water. I hope everyone was able to get out safe and injuries are a minimum.

CNN is also doing extensive coverage ... Paul is watching that as I type, they are interviewing a man who watched it from his office window!

:eek: OMG I am also reading about it on CNN.. That is horrible.. But yes the water even being cold was prob better than land.. It kept the plane in tacked.. I sure hope all is safe & ok.. I will be praying for everyone..

I am watching it too on CNN. Looks like everyone got off the plane ok.
What a scary situation. Very lucky to have landed on water.

We were watching on Headline News, just now switched to CNN. Seems all are OK.

I am surprised at how "small" the plane looks, compared to the ships around it.

I agree, the photos of all the folks standing on the wings are just amazing!

where are you guys seeing the people on the wings?

:eek: What a scary experience for these poor people on that plane...! I am so glad they were all saved!! That landing sure is a feather on that pilot's hat!!

CNN shows that image every few minutes as part of their coverage.

Thanks Karen, I see it now, CNN has some good coverage now, when it first happened FOX had a bit more.

Those people are extremely lucky, how scary.

I've been watching it on BBC and CCN the last half an hour - it's a miracle everyone got out safely. What a skilled pilot! :)

Here is a link with 10 photos, some of the people lining the wings:

Apparently more photos on flickr.

Glad that no one was hurt.


Here's my question, WTF is up with dragging the people off the boats onto the piers with those preservers still on?

It reminds me of those No Scratch Collars for animals or one of those blow up pool rings with the animal head in the front......THAT would be the first thing I would jettison once I was on terra firma.:eek:

I saw the black guy that was dancing off the boat, that was funny and cool.

Was Micheal Flatley around.....Riverdance?

Ba dump!

I admire the staff. The pilot made an amazing landing.

Flight attendants have 60 seconds, by law, to clear the passengers off the aircraft when there is an accident.

There is a pic of on attendant being carried on a stretcher, sitting up, an IV in her arm.

Ya done good, girl! You all did.

Kinda smiled at the sight of a tugboat or two tugging a jetliner. :)

Truly a miracle that no one was killed or even seriously injured.
