    I saw that last night. I was AMAZED at how calm and collected he was. I laughed sooo hard at the end.

    "Okay, which runway would you like?"
    "We're going to be in the Hudson"
    "Uh, I'm sorry, can you say it again?"
    ...
    "I think he said he's going in the Hudson."

    Paul said yesterday, "that must have been so hard to figure out out of context! I imagine one of the controllers was trying to figure out which nearby airport had a runway labeled Hudson, or next to the Hudson, before realizing - 'Oh! He means the Hudson RIVER!"

    Oh, I didn't think of it like that, but it's very true!

    The pilot did an amazing job there, and I can hardly believe how calm he remained. I hope he gets a medal!

    Here's is a two-minute section of the conversations between the cockpit and control tower. The crew says they're likely going to end up "in the Hudson":
