 Everyone got off okay!  US Airways jet crashes in Hudson RiverRescue workers help passengers from plane NEW YORK - A US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday afternoon after striking a bird that disabled two engines, sending passengers fleeing for safety in the frigid waters, a government official said. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said the US Airways Flight 1549 had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport en route to Charlotte, N.C., when the crash occurred in the river near 48th Street in midtown Manhattan. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28678669// |

ditching an airliner takes extreme skill, the engines act as water brakes if done wrong and the whole structure breaks up, hats off to the pilot big time!

It's surreal, they've got it surrounded by tug boats which are keeping it above water, and they're towing it down the river.
Since nobody was hurt.
Let the jokes begin!
That'll teach US Airways buy European, next time buy Boeing! Effing Airbus, what did they expect!?
