This US Airways crash is amazing that everybody was able to get out with no fatalities. I am dying to see the video of the actual crash. With it being in New York you know there has to be some incredible video.

Watching CNN right now I think they said it was caused by a BIRD STRIKE.

Supposedly it was a double bird strike knocking out both engines. He landed on the river like a runway with no engines. It appears the pilot was an amazing hero.
No fatalities and no major injuries. Thank you, God.

That's protocol. Haven't you seen Titanic?

I tried doing something else I saw on Titanic saying it was "protocol" and I got slapped

Man, my wife takes that flight about every 2-3 weeks. My father-in-law took a Laguardia to Charlotte earlier today. The one time I'm glad they cut back T&E lately.

Geez, that's the biggest thing to crash into the East River since the Mets.

The Pilot is about to talk on MSNBC I'm sure it's something he's did with the AP or whatever but what a guy...he showed the motto of being the first one in last one out...that's a hero right there
