The news says it was a bunch of canadian geese...we should ban them from the US.

according to fox news there was only 1 pilot, planes can't fly on 1 engine, and old guys are the best pilots. Got to love the media.

And Trace Gallager (SP) FOX guy, says that good thing that the FAA changed the rules to allow 68 yr old pilots to continue to fly.

---There should be a rule for the news media. Give us the immediate info, then dont tell us anymore for a couple of hours so they can get there info right, instead of running their mouths with blah blah blah.

Today's chuckle was the USA Today report of the passenger who smelled smoke and fire on the way down and that they were out of control.

On the other end of the spectrum was the guy who saw the plane approaching the water thinking it a normal seaplane landing.

Hat's off to a crew who did a great job.
