Birds sucked into engines of US Airways plane crashed into the Hudson River. Boats in the area were first responders and that accounts for the people being saved in frigid rapid waters.
I'd call it the un-911 moment! New Yorkers got their moxie back! Congrats!Never a dull moment here in the big city.
The pilot undoubtedly deserves our nation's higest civilian honor - the Medal of Freedom.
What he accomplished in 3 minutes not only saved the lives of his passengers and crew, but saved the lives of potentially thousands on the ground. A commercial jetliner w/o power has the glidepath of a brick. To muscle that brick, bank left, then level off and gently lay her down...brilliant piloting.
