US Airways crashes into the Hudson River
Well, today we had a scary incident happen - a commercial airliner with 155 passengers & crew members (US AIRWAYS, flight 1549 ) crashed approx 6 minutes after taking off from LaGuardia Airport (on route to Charlotte, NC) into the Hudson River. After streaming the news all afternoon - I think the main reason was due to a flock of geese. OH GEEEZ! The VERY GOOD NEWS is that there were NO FATALITIES. In fact, most people didn't even get wet! Huge kudos to the pilot thinking quickly & landing the plane safely...yes in the water, but safely netherless.....oh, and a HUGE THANK YOU to NY Waterway for being first to the scene & helping passengers get off the wing quickly & safely!
What a day I've had - first I had a 3 hr commute into work due to the middle tube being shut in the Lincoln Tunnel. When I heard all of the sirens going off around 3:30pm today, I knew something bad was happening.
