DC--> NY plane crash?

shouldn't they have been working instead of looking out the window

like how did they know it was coming

the boats are kinda blockin things now tho so i went back to working but no one else is doing this so i might go back to staring.

xpost i wonder that too, mookieproof

lonely managers just thinkin baout stuff

every office building in nyc now has a designated "plane watcher"

if it was loud, i slept through it!

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

drivers are advised to avoid the west side highway fyi

lol it is a MESS on the highway and the vicinity right now.

this whole event is putting hipsters in perspective for me...thinking about what's important...

wonder if there were any hipsters aboard

if it just took off i guess it wasn't going too fast cause i heard water landings in a jumbo jet are pretty much bullshit

where is tombot with my science

you know what an emo guy is? a hipster who's been in a water landing.

wonder if there were any hipsters aboard

US Airways is so NOT a hipster airline

yeah, it couldn't have been very high up at all either since it just took off from lga

xpost dr morbius i'm shaking my head at you

"It was scary as shit"
--Jeff

^^ real talk

hipsters don't fly usairways
ha xpost

i heard water landings in a jumbo jet are pretty much bullshit

well obviously not

omar thread mvp at this point btw

the ny1 lady just said upon hearing that the plane maybe only hit A bird "if one bird can cause so much damage god help us..."

this is such crazy shit. i'm also one of those people who's like "c'mon, if we crash into the water we're all going to die, i don't need to pay attention to this evacuation stuff"

I'm kinda bummed that the anchors on NBC feel like they have to excuse Jeff for saying something like "It was scary as shit" because ooo FCC curse words children, etc

schef as long as yr not singing Toto's "Africa"

well, bush IS still in charge and his folks @ the FCC go apeshit over naughty words

radio reports people being treated for exposure, not hypothermia

is the thing definitely being towed or just floating downstream?

apparently the ny1 one guy who took footage of the flaming plane above the bronx was AT THE ZOO

lol this angel dude

zoo york amirite

theres def a cable connecting a boat and the plane cant be sure it being towed tho

this plane is going to appear on craigslist. "slight water damage."

Your life-jacket can be found under your seat, but please do not remove it now. In fact, do not bother to look for it at all. In the event of a landing on water, an unprecedented miracle will have occurred, because in the history of aviation the number of wide-bodied aircraft that have made successful landings on water is zero. This aircraft is equipped with inflatable slides that detach to form life rafts, not that it makes any difference. Please remove high-heeled shoes before using the slides. We might as well add that space helmets and anti-gravity belts should also be removed, since even to mention the use of the slides as rafts is to enter the realm of science fiction.

"Arrived over an hour ago"

haha

Woah. If you're gonna be in a crash, be in the one with all survivors. O_o

statistically, don't think there have been many fatalities from planned plane ditching

did anyone die here?

Apparently everyone was rescued.

OMG @ ARRIVED AN HOUR AGO

he was maybe covering a story abt a baby tiger or whatnot?? xp

haha, wow
