NEW YORK (AP) -- Salvage crews have used a big crane to lift a downed US Airways jet from the Hudson River.
The jetliner looked battle-scarred as it inched up from the water late Saturday, carried by five large slings.
The metal on the bottom of the plane appears shredded and torn. In some places it looks like it was sheared off.
Chunks dropped in the water as it was maneuvered in the darkness.
The jet is to be put down on a waiting barge.
