yeah really, maybe the pilot was text messaging?
We should now bring all canadian geese in for questioning. We have them in are park downtown and those things are evil sometimes. They will stalk you!
they said he was going to try and land in New Jersey but soon realized that wouldn't happen. Could you imagine watching it all happen? One guy on the news couldn't thank the pilot enough!The pilot is the hero in this. I cannot believe he was able to react that quickly with both engines gone. 180 degree turn & enough composure to land it in the Hudson river.
Definitely a day to celebrate! Miracles really do happen.

How good a pilot can he be? He DID hit the birds, after all....
Anyway, evidence that miracles happen. I'll bet there were quite a few people on that plane praying for one.
I wonder how many of them will never fly again? I think it would cure me.
Before I can make an adequate comment on this, I need to see a dramatization simulation of what WOULD have happened if the plane crashed into a school for young children.

It was actually a FLOCK of canadian geese.
It seems to be good advertising for Airbus:
" Aviation expert James Ferguson said he had never seen anything like it.
"If you hit water fairly hard, as you will do with an aircraft, it tends to break up. But this aircraft seems to be virtually undamaged," he said. "
Here are some great pictures of the whole thing:

Yea, the last Airbus crash in New York, the rudder fell off because the pilot pushed the pedal too hard........ great planes

Government workers ride to the rescue and perform at their usual high standards!

Look at this video, you can see when exactly the government shoots into action.
You can see like 6 boats in the area of the plane and then one vessel that is far away coming towards the plane: guess wich one(s) are from the government.
