US Air flight crashes into Hudson River.
 
You can check just about any news site for the details, but apparently an Air bus with one hundred and some odd passengers went down into the Hudson river today, and EVERYONE made it out OK. Freaking amazing.

Those pilots are heroes.

They are saying "double bird strike" as in birds got sucked into both engines! And, words I never want to hear uttered by a pilot: "prepare for impact." :eek:

What part of " fleeing for safety in the [Hudson river]" counts as "made it out OK"? Eeeeew.

I knew giving visas to al qaeda birds would be a mistake.

A passenger snapped this photo outside his window just before takeoff.

Spoiler:



sorry, one of the articles had the idiotic "terrorism is not suspected" line, and that got me doing a google image search


ETA: heh, and then Alex posted while I was posting this.

The part where the passengers were not all turned into goo by the force of the impact.

Well, at a minimum they were better than Cory Lidle.

It's the Hudson, that's debatable.
