Actually the plane ditched in the Hudson River, not the airport
WOW!
I'm glad everyone made it out, I can only imagine how cold and wet the rescue had to have been. It is such a contrast to when the 737 went down into the Potomac River here in Washington, DC back in '82.
I am traveling to Cincinnati tomorrow, and I am glad to be taking the train,

The crew obviously did a remarkable job of not only ditching the aircraft, but getting everyone off of the aircraft alive. Especially concidering how many pax usually totally ignore the saftey briefings.

What I heard...
Just had the radio on here while cleaning and from what I understand it was a small commuter type plane, not a commercial jetliner, the pilot brought it down safely in the Hudson River and everyone was rescued safely by water taxis (commuter ferries)and it was caused by geese getting sucked into the engines.

That "small commuter type plane" (eyes to ceiling) is an A-320.

Oops...
You are so correct Gyrafoam, my dad. So much for the news on the classic rock station here. It was miraculous no one was killed. The story is dominating the airwaves here tonight in NYC can't imagine how frigid the water in the river is. They are saying some people were rescued on the NY side of the river, others on the NJ side.

why did "my dad" suddenly appear in my last post? I previewed it before I posted it and certainly did not type "my dad"

LOL, yes, leave it to the uninformed media to butcher a report regarding just about anything aviation related.

It is always fascinating to hear different accounts of the same story and how a word or two changes the entire meaning..........
"Plane Goes Down at NYCs LaGuardia Airport" should have read
"Plane Goes Down Coming Out of NYCs LaGuardia Airport"
I was trying not to say CRASH.
But what annoyed the living **** out of me was reference to passengers (by one radio station) as "the survivors". Uh HELLO? if NO ONE was sustantially hurt and there were no casualties, why be so inflamatory and histrionic?
:-0
I suppose now there will have to be some sort of patented device (with a good bone crusher) created to
defeather
eviscerate
prepare for cooking
cook
cool
serve
wild fowl...........
It is a miracle all ended well. Interesting to note the oral talents delivered via speech of New York State's governor. That guy has some eloquence!

My favorite was Fox News, who desperately tried to get passengers and eyewitnesses to say they firth thought it was a terrorist attack. Yeah, let's squeeze the last drop out of 9/11 hysteria, before the hysteria mongers in D.C. hit the sidewalk next Tuesday.
BTW, any Bye Bye Bushie parties planned?
