US Air type in the Hudson?????????

[AMANSWORLD]

Airbus makes a really nice boat these days.

Glad no one was hurt-so it sounds like. It will be interesting to see what happened. Nice job to the crew and the first responders

Lots of reports of an excellent job by the crew......how much are we overpaid again? Hopefully everyone is ok.

Way too early to tell much but one thing is clear. Great fricken job getting that thing down in one piece in one of the most densely populated areas on the planet!

safest part was the ditch, most dangerous was touching water in the hudson.

Great job guys, thoughts and prayers to the US Air family and pax. Hearing bird strikes hit both engines.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Do you need a "ferry" permit to land in the Hudson? It looks like they did a great job!

Maybe now people will listen to the Flight Attendants safety briefs.

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.

It appears at least the vast majority, if not all, made it off...

An amazing picture on USAToday.com

Looks like they did a heck of great job!

 

[Amish RakeFight]

These guys did a fantastic job!

Wonder if the crew are FI members...

Kudos.

Wow, kudos to the crew for a great water landing. Doug Parker needs to give himself another bonus for hiring those guys.
