Airliner down in Hudson River, NYC

[Projekt]

A US airways A320 crash landed onto the Hudson river at approximate 1530Eastern Time. Al Qaeda suicide geese are primary suspects..

WTF?? Do you know where in Hudson? Upstate or down?

NYC. Taking off from Laguardia
Everyone is safe.

It was flight 1549 heading to Charlotte out of LaGuardia.. The only reason I joked about it is because it was quickly announced that everybody got off safely.

Whoever that pilot is, he's a hero. There's not a lot of space to maneuver a dead airliner between Manhattan and New Jersey, while not taking out a boat or two while you're at it. A miracle.

I read that its still floating in the river!

[Projekt]

The tail is in the water now but the word is that everybody was evacuated before it sank. The fuselage section forward of the wings is still up clear of the water

[ThrlSkr]

ok, got it. Thx

[Projekt]

Seems like hypothermia, shock along with a leg fracture to a flight attendant is as bad as it got so far.

I want to hear the ATC comm on this one.

Absolutely miraculous.

What a relief. You never think you'll need those 'in the event of a water landing' instructions until one day...

<== to the pilot & crew!

[F=MA]

I disagree.

[shortBoarder]
