    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!

    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.

    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.

    From the looks of the pictures I wouldnt call that a crash but a controlled water landing. Must be one heck of a pilot.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!
