Turn your VHF on. Plane went down at LaGuardia and they are rescuing
the passengers now.

It's on all major networks too.


They got all 151 souls off the plane - no loss of life.


Yes, an amazing job by the pilot to crash land in the water without
the plane breaking up. Not just good, good and lucky.


As it happened, I ran into a neighbor tonight at a local bistro who
used to fly with Continental. He said that it normally takes 30
minutes to prepare for a ditch. He said these pilots only had 30
seconds to make the decision and pull it off.

Hell of a job I'd say.
