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

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

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.

I think it's normally the LGA1

I will now for the first time take seriously the announcement concerning "in the unlikely event we make a water landing, your seat may be used as a flotation device."

 

[Raskal]

Is this one of, if not the first, successful (meaning no deaths) ditching of an airliner?

Amazing job.
