US Airways flight down

[NWOhioAngela]

Breaking news -Pilot put down Flight 1529 into the Hudson River. Flight was bound for Charlotte. Early reports that they got hit by a couple geese. Seriously. No reports of injuries yet--ABC is reporting passengers had time to put on lifejackets etc. It's still floating. It appears everybody has gotten out okay

 

[tinker&belle]

Thank God so far everyone is reported as being okay!

 

[Hockeytchr]

Yes, so far it seems that all passengers made it out okay. Divers are doing anothe check of the fuseloge.

This is pretty scary stuff.

WNBC 4ny reports everyone is believed to be out of the plane.

Just confirmed that all passengers did get out. But it does look like it is going down. One wing is under water. They are still hoping to get it out!! Thank God everyone got out ok. Prayers to all of them and their families.

Had to be totally weird to have seen that happen. According to Robin Roberts from GMA, she said the pilot put the plane down like he was landing it on a runway.

They are showing some of the people right now and there was this one guy waving and smiling. I'm sure he was thinking, "Yes I'm alive!!!"

MSNBC is reporting that the plane hit a flock of geese and then had engine troubles. I hope everyone is ok.

 

[DjdBrit]

It must be friggin cold in that water! Thank goodness all are OK!

Nice to see that the pilots are well trained and know what to do in an emergency to save everyone's lives

I was just about to post this. CNN has full coverage. If you live locally News 12 Long Island, CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox are all covering it too.

wonder if pilot dumped fuel before ditching to lighten plane, that thing was heavy after just taking off. hope there are no pets in the cargo hold..

 

[BRobson]

Thank goodness everyone is ok. The pilot did an amazing job

 

[tink too]

OMG - so glad to hear that everyone got out safely.

What's really WEIRD is that I just listened to the call-in show this morning from Dec. 18 (yes, I'm a little behind!), specifically the call from the Michelle about her fear of flying! Pete and John were talking about the relative safety of flying. Pete's comment was, "We're due (for another domestic airline incident)," which is exactly what I was thinking!

Thank God for an excellent pilot on that flight!

I just got home, and my dad called and told me about this. (I have no internet access at work, so I never know what's going on.) How crazy! Thank goodness everyone is okay.

I just saw the news... everyone is ok.... thank god they landed on hudson river and didn't crash on to Manhattan.
But I am a bit nervous my mom is taking a plane tomorrow, she is going to Peru... I HATE PLANES! and this makes me more nervous... hope everything goes fine

Yep, the reason I always give a heartfelt "THANK YOU" to the pilots when leaving the plane. Thank God everyone is okay.

Thanks for posting this as my 4 year old owns the TV at the moment.
