US Airways Jet down in Hudson River

My friend who works in a building overlooking that part of the Hudson said that ppl were on the wing waiting to be rescued. I can't access any of the live feeds from work here, so I can't confirm.

Your screen name and location is very ironic...

Just got home, watching CBS.

They're interviewing a 60 Minutes producer who saw the plane from her office window.

She didn't see the plane actually hit the water, she saw it in the water. She saw the plane floating. (They're showing live video, and it's still floating, at least somewhat. At the least, the ****pit and the rudder are out of the water.) She saw flotation devices deployed. She saw passengers standing on the wing.

Lots of boats around the thing, right now.

Jeebus, can you imagine if the river wasn't right there?

And I wish they'd stop talking about a "bird strike" as if the ****ing geese were out to get the plane.

Glad everyone seems to be ok though.

That's a common term in aviation and birds are actually a pretty big threat during takeoff and landing - it's funny because I was just reading about this a few weeks ago.

Crazy that it doesn't happen more often.
