As I recall, the Hudson A321 was still afloat, with the forward door sill above water level, 24 hours after the ditching, tied to a pier.

Those pax are in a raft and have jackets on one side of the aircraft but not the other, and the wings are by now underwater whereas initial photos showed many standing on them; I wonder if the jackets had been supplied from the rescuing vessels.
