Plane Sucks In Birds, Crashes in Hudson, All Passengers Safe

Pasta...or Duck

Airplane crash-lands into Hudson River; all aboard reported safe - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/01/15/new.york.plane.crash/index.html)

Man this is a good story. From the witnesses and passengers I heard on tv the pilot did a phenom job putting the airbus down and then Ferries and other boats immediately showed up. If I ever had to go through a crash that would be it. Good stuff.

I want that guy flying my plane from now on.

Seriously that pilot is a friggin hero. He was hoping to get to a landing strip in North Jersey but when he saw the Hudson he made the split decision to land the plane there rather than risk running out of power.

One person with one minor cut. Otherwise no injuries and no deaths. Remarkable.

It's amazing. Reminds me of that pilot who safely landed that Aloha Airlines (I think) plane after the roof of part of the cabin blew off in the air

Mike and Mike brought up a good point this morning. The word hero gets thrown around WAY to casually these days and frequently in association with NFL players. This is a GROSS overstatement.
The word hero should be reserved for events that actually matter. This pilot is a ......hero
I cannot imagine trying to do what he did
