Plane crashes in Hudson River!
 

I'm flying into LaGuardia 10 days from now.

Looks like most are alright - VERY lucky....

:eek:

I've been watching the live feed at work...they interviewed one of the passengers that was in the plane and asked him what the landing was like and his response was, "..scary as $hit" and they didn't get to edit it.

Looks like everyone is OK though, pilot looks like he did everything he could to bring the plane down easy.

I just left there Sunday morning and it was cold as hell glad everyone is ok.

Looks like SEA TOW is trying to get a line on it.

Pilot of the century right there , holy crap!

For those that don't realize it, the temp in NY is 19 degrees.! The water temp is in the mid 30's. Thank God everyone got out!!!

US Air is always coming up with new ways to lose your baggage.

Way to think outside the box.

you got that right.....where did all the 147 passengers go though..on the wings or were some in that fridgid water..OMG.

Rumor has it Cashbar was aboard and was wearing a Fountain t-shirt...............Cockpit voice recorder recorded him saying: "watch this" just before it went down......:eek:

Nice to have a good ending...

you're gonna need one of these:party-smiley-004:

Sitting here in the Tampa airport watching the feeds and reading about it. It appears as though all got out OK. God bless and well done to Emergency Response.

Watch out for the sparrow on take off.:party-smiley-004:

USA Jet passed right past my North Jersey Town House on the Hudson, thank God everyone is ok.

There was a picture on MSNbc.com briefly that showed them all standing on the wings in knee deep water.

They are all very lucky, and that pilot needs a damn medal.

No phuckin way I'd be anywhere it was that cold. :eek:

Plus, it's right-side up and didn't spin in. :angry-smiley-038:

How good it THAT pilot! He be "The Man"!

That's one damn good pilot to set that big mamma jamma down in one piece!

Must be one of those APACHE airplanes! Looks like a 47.:D

AND, no steps!

USairways (east) hands down has the most experienced pilots in the industry. Doug

They should give the Pilot a $1,000,000 bonus and send him to on vacation for a month! He probably saved the company over $1,000,000,000 in law suits!:eek:

Newcasters all over are calling it a "lucky crash".

Bull$hit. It was a world-class emergency landing.

"Sullenberger" (the pilot) is a name to be remembered.

Here's a report that has it right:

"Hero Pilot, Air Force Vet Landed Plane Safely"

Here is his Facebook Page

was the captain wearing his ign. kill tether my bad the eng. were already dead what a TRUE HERO ! did you see were he is a master glider pilot

I bet that had a helluva lot to do with it. Give that man a medal.

He couldn't have landed in a better spot, it seems- right there where the ferrys were... a mile or two down the river and the story might have been different.

Let 's be Serious here... You know he SH*t himself along with 150 others. That plane has got to smell like A**...

and all dumped in the hudson..

Great job to the pilot... Glad it was a happy ending...

This is funny as S H I T !!!

Glad everyone came away alive...

Landed at LGA yesterday..... my wife and I fly all the time but we were a little extra nervous yesterday........ when we landed the whole plane broke in to applause....... I guess everyone is a little on edge after these incidents.... God Bless that Pilot though......he made all the right decisions and he made them fast......Kudos to him and his crew!!

here is the video of it hitting the water and the first boats on scene, splashdown is about 2 minutes in.

NICE!!......4 Minutes from touch down to the first ferry arriving..... not bad......talk about everything working out right......

Doug, Not disagreeing but curious as to why you feel that way....?
