Has the aircraft been lifted out of the Hudson? Anybody know if the engines are still there? I'd presume they'd snap off upon water contact.
According to the New York Times, an attempt will be made to lift the aircraft from the water today. One concern is 4,000 gallons of fuel still in the aircraft that they want to keep from leaking.

The engines are presumed to have detached on impact and are being searched for by the Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers using sonar.
