A U.S. Airways airplane has crashed into the Hudson River, CBS 2 has learned. The plane appears to be in one piece and passengers are being evaucated by rescue teams.
Officials tell CBS 2 the airplane is Flight 1549, an Airbus 380 that took off from La Guardia Aiport.
The plane is floating upright in the water near the USS Intrepid.
Stay with wcbstv.com and CBS 2 for more on this developing story.
PS: Video on FOX shows plane intact with wings, tail and part of cabin exposed above water.
The 380 report from CBS is incorrect.

ABC News: Flight was from La Guardia to Charlotte, NC.
BBC News: Shows ferry boats gathered around the floating plane. Apparently passengers were on the wing at one stage. Presume they are getting onto the ferries?
Pretty amazing stuff ...

Live on FOX now. Aircraft is surrounded by 7 or 8 ferry boats rescuing passengers. I don't believe that it is an Airbus. The aircraft appears to be intact and is slowly sinking.
Well, after a better look it may be an A-320.
Latest is that it was Flight 1549, an Airbus A 320.
