Wow!
Watching it now.

It was on its way to Charlotte. Pilot said he hit a flock of Geese and chose to bring it down in the river.

Blueface · 01-15-2009, 02:54 PM

People are still in the plane.
They have yet to open the doors?

smart, fast-acting pilot, could have been so much worse

Blueface · 01-15-2009, 02:59 PM

....and to think of all the flights I took last year......
....and to think how I just ignored and never paid attention to the "your seat bottoms can be used as flotation devices".......

Scary.

That pilot is a "real life" hero.
Amazing to pull that off.

JohnnyKay5 · 01-15-2009, 03:01 PM

watching it as well

Mr.Maduro · 01-15-2009, 03:02 PM

If it had to happen anywhere, I couldn't think of a better place for immediate response!

Blueface · 01-15-2009, 03:04 PM

Patrick,
This thing is sinking fast.
People are still on board it seems.

Well that was just dismissed.
It seems they got passengers off.

01-15-2009, 03:04 PM

Whoa. Good for him. Definitely a smart move and does make me nervous about the amount of flying I do each year.

Another report (NY1) just said its still floating. Water temp is 42*

Blueface · 01-15-2009, 03:05 PM

One of the passengers is being interviewed on CNN.

Says they all got off.

Knowing CNN, they probably found and paid someone...

I hope DrMRS doesn't see this story. I was just flying US Air on the east coast earlier in the week.

Thoughts go out to all the passengers....
