I'm watching it from a conference room window. Must have just happened as I was here for a while but didn't notice until someone ran in pointing to it.

Lots of ferries. The current has the plane and it's headed towards the sea.

Could make out people on the wings but can barely see the plane.

[TheMojoPin]

This is gonna help Fez concur his fear of flying.

This is the time to fly. I wish I had a flight today or the next few days. If you're afraid of flying, nothing is better than seeing one go down just before you fly, because the odds that it happens again right after are even more astronomically small than something happening in the first place.

Not to be Larry Literal, but of course this doesn't change the odds that a flight will or will not go down in the next few days.

The odds of it happening are still astronomical. Though I'm sure that Fez would ignore our arguments and take a viewpoint that is the exact opposite of yours.

I like the progression of news reported here.

small plane carrying more than a dozen people (I guess 147 is more than a dozen).




Reuters reports that a small plane carrying more than a dozen people has splashed down intact into the Hudson River near Manhattan.

It quotes witnesses as saying the plane, that WNBC says is a U.S. Airways plane, is floating in the river with survivors standing on the wings awaiting rescue.

WNBC tv shows video of the plane surrounded by ferries apparently attempting to rescue survivors.

Update 3:49 p.m. ET: The Associated Press also reports that the plane is a U.S. Airways plane. There is no report on the condition of the passengers.

Updated at 3:52 p.m. ET: The AP, quoting FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown, identifies the plane as United Airways flight 1549 en route from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, N.C.

WNBC says the plane was carrying around 146 people. CNN says the U.S. Coast Guard is dropping lift jackets into the water to survivors. Still no word on any injuries.

Update at 4:01 p.m. ET: The FAA spokeswoman says the airplane, an Airbus 320, "may have been hit by birds," the AP reports.

I think the injury/death worry you have to deal with right now is not the crash itself, but the water/drowning/frostbite issues. Especially for any older people on the flight.

[Judge Smails]

Someone on CNN reported earlier that one of the passengers said that once they were down the pilot informed everyone that women and children were to get out first and that he was waiting for close to a half hour for his turn to get out.

I think Bill Burr does a bit on this. I wonder how many feminists were onboard who took offense to this treatment? :wink:

[Judge Smails]

They're saying that the pilot was trying to get the plane to Teterboro. There is no way he could have landed that size plane at Teterboro. They were lucky he had to ditch in the Hudson because if he actually made it to Teterboro we really would have had a tragedy. That plane would have wound up in the Votech High School across from Rt 46.

[sr71blackbird]

Every time they interview an 'eyewitness', they sound like complete idiots. Why don't people know how to talk anymore?
The pilot did an amazing job and should be made a hero.

Here's a picture, from 2005, from Teterboro of a private jet that overshot the runway, went trough a fence, crossed four lanes of traffic on Rt. 46 and ended up in a Strawberries warehouse next door to the Votech High School. My wife was working a couple of blocks away at the time.

[sr71blackbird]

I did not say anyone said anything bad about the pilot at all. It was two different statements separated by a period. I am talking about the witness's who the news people get on the phone. Those people sound like retards. One guy who said he saw the whole thing, they asked what the angle of the plane was when it hit the water. They said, did it come down level or straight on? The guy said it hit straight on. No fucking way!

Nobody died in the plane's emergency landing, but that "Miracle on the Hudson" joke just killed eleven.

[SinA]

I saw Lou Dobbs interviewing a guy that was on the plane, and on the screen it said;
Joe Whateverhisname - SURVIVOR

Sure, he was in a plane crash, but if no one else dies in the crash, is he really a survivor? I mean, I've survived several flights before.

[TooLowBrow]

the geese who took this plane down were not canadian geese

they were islamic geese who got into this country using fake passport to get through the canadian border. several of the geese had taken flying lessons in florida. on instructor claims that the geese payed significantly less attention to lessons on landing. The geese waited until a few minutes into the flight then they tried to force their way into the cockpit. They carried pepper spray and box cutter which had been smuggled in their carry-on luggage. fortunately there was a group of american geese also on the flight. they were able to subdue the terrorist geese. during the fight the captain was knocked unconscious. the co-pilot was able to make a controlled crash into the hudson. the 'canadian ' geese are being taken to guantanimo for interrogation.

I would fly with the pilot absolutely!

They said the plane was only 900 feet above the GWB as it was approaching the river, imagine those people stuck in rush hour traffic on the GWB seeing a plane just above them, so crazy. I'm sure 911 ran through their minds.

I'm sure 911 ran through their minds.

Yes, but did lots of exclamation marks?



This reminds me of another "unique" crash - UA232. Pilot lost all the hydraulics and had to ditch. Botched the landing but half the plane survived.

Ya know with the proximity of a major city such as NYC to the location of this plane crash, and the multitude of media, helicopters, ferries, people, cell phone cams in the area, I find it strange that there aren't any video footage of the crash landing into the river. The crash of the planes into the towers were caught on footage, I'm shocked this wasn't taped. Perhaps any surveillance of this hasn't been discovered yet?

are you trying to say that the plane crash didnt really happen?

[EffMeBoobs]

No I'm just saying all that CNN is showing are pictures of the plane already in the water, footage of it in the water, or pictures of it in the air moments before the crash. It would be amazing to see it in real time glide right into the river.

"We had a miracle on 34th Street. I believe now we have had a miracle on the Hudson," Gov. David Paterson said.

a miracle would be a plane flying with no engines. what happened today was a skilled pilot who was able to crash-land a plane in a river with lots of ferries and other boats nearby whose captains pitched in to help out in an emergency situation.

i hate when god gets the credit for the actions of quick-thinking humans!

apparently, birds got sucked into both engines, which blew them both out. a miracle would have been the rest of the flock grabbing onto the plane's wings with their beaks and helping fly it to safety, but i guess god isn't very creative with his 'miracles'.

Birds dont have thumbs...I guess that would truly be a maricle if they grabbed it.

[PapaBear]

I think the problem with the word "miracle" is that people use it when they don't necessarily feel that an occurrence is and "act of God", but rather a wonder. Something amazing. The plane was landed with the skill of the pilot, yet it is still a wonder that he was able to do it. From what I'm seeing recently, it's the first successful controlled landing on a body of water by an airliner EVER.

I spent six years flying in the back of C-130's and it was generally accepted that "ditching" in the water equaled certain death.

...as for miracle...I think this qualifies under the "act of God" clause. It wasn't just the pilot's skill...had it been warmer, the wind stronger or the takeoff trajectory different it would have been a disaster. All the external conditions had to be just right in order for this to happen. Now if I only believed in God.

Yea, he saved these folks but decided to let the others who were killed in Chicago a couple months back but spared DJ AM and Travis Barker. Oh, and the Concord a couple years back. Yea, that makes sense.

A hell of a lot of skill and a hell of a lot of circumstance. Having all those boats be on the scene virtually immediately saved a lot of people from hypothermia and that pilot definitely had one hell of a landing for the plane to rest so well on the water. All those boat captains and the flight crew better not have to ever buy a drink again since that situation easily could have had fatalities.

Jan 16, 3:39 PM (ET)

(AP) NEW YORK (AP) - Federal investigators said the left engine of the US Airways jetliner that ditched into the Hudson River was missing Friday as reports emerged that the pilot who safely landed the aircraft had considered an emergency landing at two airports. Police divers were using sonar to find the engine, which was believed to be in the water.

"Once we get the flight data recorder it will give us the radar so we can figure out where the engine separated from the plane," said NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson.

[Judge Smails]

Did the plane actually sink? Is it at the bottom of the river now?

They pulled it over to a dock and they're working out the logistics of trying to lift it onto a barge with a crane without splitting it apart. I think it weighs something like 80 tons and that's without it being filled up with water. They said one engine is still attached and they're using sonar to look for the other one.

it's a hollow tube with massive under-body damage from the crash-landing. hardly air-tight. by the time i saw it (an hour or so later, downtown where they eventually moored it), only the tail and the tip of one of the wings was out of the water. pretty remarkable how quickly everyone got out and got rescued.

Then came the emergency landing, and photos of Zych were everywhere -- especially on Facebook where the survivors quickly connected. Bostic kept an eye on her via the Internet, and six months after the crash, they met again, this time "for real" at a survivors get together.

"We've been dating ever since, and it's been amazing," Bostic says. "We've lived, laughed, danced and loved like two people who know tomorrow isn't guaranteed."

It's surprising that it's taken this long -- particularly when today's media mentality of "ripped-from-the-headlines" turns virtually every event into a made-for-TV or direct-to-DVD movie -- for Sullenberger's story to come to Hollywood. Apparently, Sullenberger was not too keen on selling the rights to his memoir until he met Harrison Ford -- a licensed pilot -- at an aviation event. According to Variety, Sullenberger asked Ford's advice, and he recommended friends Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy "as a go-to producing team."
