that's what I was thinking!! They usually break apart on Impact!!!
Glad they weren't at cruising altitude!!! Probably would've been a lot worse!!!

Re: What happened.. A airplane in the Hudson River
This pilot seriously deserves a medal of honor. He saved everyone's life. A witness said it was the smoothest landing. You couldn't even hear it hit the water.

There are ferries that are tied on and trying to hold it above water, but the images I saw on Ch 7 a few mins ago show it much lower in the water.

Re: What happened.. A airplane in the Hudson River
I think if the plane's intact you have a little time; the seats have life preservers, and sounds like the crew was able to prepare for the landing

Re: What happened.. A airplane in the Hudson River
it was only at 3200 feet, hit a LARGE flock of birds, and it was a 'controlled ditching' -expert calls it a textbook landing!!!

Re: What happened.. A airplane in the Hudson River
The plane is an Airbus 320, US Airways flight 1549 from LaGuardia to Charlotte. There were 146 passengers on board the flight, along with 5 crew members.
The FAA is reporting all passengers are out of the plane, and a secondary search is underway.
The plane went down near 48th Street. The plane took off from LaGuardia at 3:11 p.m.
Government officials say the plane's two engines went down after a bird struck the plane. Witnesses say it appeared the plane made a controlled landing

Re: What happened.. A airplane in the Hudson River
They are calling the pilot a hero - that it was as perfect a landing as you could have with no engines and landing on water!

I hope so. I hope this is an omen for good things to come. An accident like this and ALL survived. It's incredible. I pray that it's true.
