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

They went down near 48th street. Sounds like the USAF pilot was trying to make it onto the Intrepid!

Every AF pilots wants to CQ!

No, but you can probably see it from here.

Just wait until the bible thumpers chime in. Bet they will claim it was all in "god's hand"!!!

It was. But then again, everything else is too.

Here is the first video footage I have seen, it happens at 3:31 taken from a coast guard camera. After it happens the camera zooms in and you can see just how quickly they evacuated the airplane, amazingly quick.

Thanks for posting that JetSpeed219!

I know beggars can't afford to be choosy but it would have been nice to see the most important thing the flare! I'm sure there is another surveillance camera out there that caught it. :nuts:

Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. Tough choice for the ladies for sure.

Poor Sully can command some serious tail right now for this. Unfortunately, his little blue pills are probably in the Hudson still.

latest video

I don't think anyone's posted this yet, but here's a link to CNN's video released from a surveilance camera of the actual landing.

The following videos shows part of the take off from LGA.

Also Cnn reported the pilots said they intentionally set it down near the ferry boat landings so that rescue could be expedited quickler.
