Airbus crashes into Hudson river.....
Bloody well done to that crew! It looks like all 155 POB have survived with only minor injuries and hypothermia, and I thought the life jackets were a waste of space.
To my limited knowledge, this is only the second successful water landing of passenger sized jet, where all walked (or swam) away - the first being the Nimrod off Kinloss. Can anyone correct me if I am wrong? He must have hit the water at a high(ish) alpha and at almost stall speed to avoid the engines acting as brakes and ripping the wings off. Anyway, well done to US Airways and their crew selection process. BZ :D |
amazing pics on sky news with some passengers still remaining totally dry! not to mention that the aircraft is still afloat (ish)
|
the plane's been towed back to battery park for the NTSB to look at.

Pilot praised for 'masterful' landing - CNN.com Safety Reliability Methods, Inc. - About Us Super job. |
Just heard on Wogan - "I suppose the Captain will now be claiming a Guiness World Record for the most wing walkers!" :D
Big well done to the crew. :D |
Big thread on R&N.
