DC--> NY plane crash?

so you are saying it is terrorists or aliens, then?

wow!

btw i hate these little planes and have wondered abt hitting flocks of birds before

all the channels im on dont show a plane so i think it's submerged

should have took that thing down on the westside hwy

it was a Charlotte-bound flight

MSNBC appears to be wrong, unless CNN and NY1's video is old

btw how the fuck would a FLOCK OF BRDS take down a plane?

this is like one of those things that they always prepare you for before takeoff and people are like, lol whatever this never happens

ny1 is showing the nose of the plane still above water it says "live"

^omg yeah xp

an A320 is not a little plane

MSNBC wrong?? SURELY YOU JEST, SIR!

Who knows -- it's one of those news events where people are just blathering on to fill up air-time until actual statistics come in.

if they are sucked into the engine, very easily.

xpost

cnn, fox news, msnbc, cnbc all show (don't show) it submerged

the nose and tail of the plane are still above water, but the view may be obstructed by boats

if things were so fucked that the pilot couldn't get to newark or back to lga, then it's a pretty good job putting it down in the river rather than in manhattan

eye witness is saying the plane landed just like it would on a runway except ON THE WATER

i hope everyones ok! it would suck to be the single fatality

they teach the flight attendants Ditching procedure, if they are well trained, and the plane didnt get unerwatewr till now, most people should be saved

the nose is hard to see cause its surrounded by boats

"it would suck to be the single fatality"

The current live shot on MSNBC is now too far back to tell. Whatevs. I just see boats at this point.

yeah cnn is circling something, prob the plane

waht is life expectancy in water when the air temp is 20 F

i would not be surprised if ny1s feed was late cause lol ny1

water temp is about 42 F

they're all on the ferry drinking hot choglits by now

someone on abc is saying the plane has been towed??

lol @ omar little, that's always me: "Yeah, 'water landing' my ass!"

that's some landing, wow

really want to do obv. variation on "good luck usa" but too soon

no fatalities reported

"zeno, are you liveblogging from the crashsite?

i study that shit every time i get on a plane

http://www.remotecentral.com/dvd/airplane-3.jpg

i always lol at that shit like yah right water landing more like WATERY DEATH - learn something new everyday

Yeah, I don't want to use the word "lucky," but this sounds like some pretty top-north disaster-avoidance! If your plane's faltering over NYC, you can't ask for better than a smooth landing on a rare bit of water with loads and loads of boats, ferries, and emergency services waiting nearby.

have to settle for this

this is why i hate planes

i remember seeing some footage of a passenger jet doing a water landing and basically breaking in two and i guess half the people on that plane died so i always assumed that was some best case scenario kind of thing

Much about those particular geese will never be known—for instance, where they came from, and where they were headed, and why

Call yourself an investigative journalist?

But their legacy remains.

Well, there ya go:

"He doesn't know I'm gonna say this, but I had joked the other day that ... the hero sex really helps a 20-year-old marriage," The Associated Press reported Mrs Sullenberger as saying.

To which Mr Sullenberger added: "Rock star sex."

it's gonna suck next time a plane loses control within sight of a river and everyone just expects the pilot can cruise on down without too much trouble.

lol @ 3:12 he says "Nice view of the Hudson today." Oh, just wait.

Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger ends his 30 year career today by retiring.

Looking forward to seeing the Sully movie this weekend, although I'm a bit baffled by the conceit of the trailer - I don't remember anyone doubting Sully's competence at the time? The trailer reminded me of the movie FLIGHT from 2012, Denzel Washington played a pilot that made a similarly insane emergency landing but he was loaded on coke and booze and subsequently investigated and arrested, it was a surprisingly emotional movie for me, really about alcoholism... anyway, has anyone seen Sully yet?

i hope there is a memorial to the geese

I was always curious about the guy who panicked and opened the rear door of the plane -- water rushed in, and the plane sank faster than it otherwise would have.

Does he go to the Flight 1549 passenger reunion functions? Are things tense when he's around? When Sully sees him, does he think, "Ugh, that fucking guy"?

i've long been curious to see what flappy bird thinks of the Sullenberger movie tbh

I just hope Clint treats the geese with some dignity

closing scene: sully, alone in park, feeding bread to some geese. he stays until they fly off in v-formation. one of them has eaten to much of sully's bread, though, and has to perform an emergency landing...on land. it bellies onto the grass, but is miraculously ok. sully tips his captain's hat, which he's still wearing. roll credits

anyway, has anyone seen Sully yet?

I still wonder about this guy, and if he's allowed at the reunions, and if Sully occasionally thinks to himself, "If that jerk hadn't opened the door..."

ten years!

i thought the movie was OK fwiw
