A amazing piece of airmanship by the Capt. of a A320 who landing on the Hudson River, after losing both donks to bird strike (geese I believe) No Pax lost, and a great job done by both Pilots and Cabin Crew. The Aircraft has been towed to a safe place (and as far as I know still afloat) out of a shipping lane. I believe the Captain was ex Airforce and with 40 yrs civil flying, a great outcome, which we will all celebrate.:D
