Posted: 1/15/09 at 3:53pmA flock of geese hit the plane. I think they are exacting revenge for their friends the deer that were killed by the snowmobilers.

From ABC.com:
The plane is a US Airways flight 1549 from LaGuardia to Charlotte. There were 146 passengers on board the flight, along with 5 crew members. There is no report on their conditions.
The plane went down near 57th street. The plane took off from LaGuardia at 3:11 p.m.
Ferries are rescuing passengers, some who are seen standing on the wings of the plane.

It doesn't sound like anyone's in the water. They said the plane is intact and people are being evacuated.
But you're right, Jaystarr; it's not a day you want to be standing on the wing of a plane in the middle of the Hudson (not that you ever would . . . )
I do hope they get them all to safety quickly.

Posted: 1/15/09 at 4:06pmReg - I don't know if anyone has or has not hit the water - but there are lifejackets in the water.. so they are prepared and are saying that with the windchill factor - it's minutes to hypothermia if they hit the water/air afterwards
re: Plane crashes into Hudson River#16
Posted: 1/15/09 at 4:07pmI'm certainly not minimizing the danger; just hoping for the best.
re: Plane crashes into Hudson River#17
Posted: 1/15/09 at 4:07pmYeah~its 15 degrees right now in New York City. I am sure its colder ~just there in the open water with wind shields and all.. At least! hopefully NO ONE is in the water..or just standing in the plane must be terribly freakin' cold! ouch!
re: Plane crashes into Hudson River#18
Posted: 1/15/09 at 4:07pmIt's reported that the amazing pilot brought the plane purposely down onto the water, as if he knew he had to use it as a runway.

Really? Is that safer than landing on the ground?
I hope everyone's okay, it's freezing out...
