OMG, There's a plane in the Hudson River!

My uncle is a buisness man, and he flies normally up to New York. We were all afraid because we didnt know if he was on buisness today, or coming home. He lives in Charolette, where the plane was heading so then we started to panic even more. Thank god that he was off on a buisness trip. Hopefully everyone is safe.

WOW!! It is SO cold up in the north east (its -25C in Toronto today!!)
I hope they don't die from hypothermia!!
It's amazing that they all got out alive!!
Great job by the rescue team!!

I had tutoring so I just saw this. Dear God, I would've died from sheer panic if I was a passenger. I have a massive, intense fear of planes and crashing. Thank God the passengers are alright.

Kudos to the Pilots and the Emergency Respondance Team!

This is like epic, I find it so strange that things worked out so perfectly.
Obviously the most important thing is that the people are okay..
But geez, those geese.. that must've been painful. What a great way to go..

 

[imabrat]

Now I know why my mom never wants us to fly out of La Guardia and why we've always gone to Kennedy.

I was just going to say...Poor Geese! LMAO! We need to talk to Homeland Security about keeping these Canadian Geese out of our airspace!

US Airways plane crashes into Hudson River

I was watching it on TV for like, an hour. It was crazy!! and the water there is like in the 30's maybe even lower.

There's pictures of the plane in that link.. its pretty darn cold there.

My mom picked me up from school and told me there was a plane crash in New York.
She forgot to mention that it was an accident and landed in the river.
So my first thought was terrorism.
My heart dropped.

Then she told me about the whole geese thing and how the pilot landed in the water.
I got home and turned it on, they said there wasn't any major injuries or deaths.
Thank goodness! Definately nice job on the pilot and workers part.

This is absolutely amazing.

Wow.
So, what happened with the geese? How did they cause they plane to crash?

The got sucked into the motor.

 

[life of the party]

I've been watching that on the news at my friends house!
It's crazy.
That pilot is AMAZING.
I cant believe they are all alive!
I was so scared at the beginning of the story how many people died, but they all lived!

There is a rumor that the Mets David Wright may have been on the plane.

Right now its only a rumor, it hasn't been confirmed or denied yet.

Thank Goodness that everyone on this flight was rescue and safe. They even had an interview with one of the passenger explaining what went on.

That's probably not true. Everyone would have heard by now, or someone would have seen him getting off the plane.

I'm so glad everyone is ok. When I saw the pictures I was stunned.
The coast guard did an amazing job!
