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.

Amazing. I've been watching the plane sink for the last few
minutes...first I heard everyone got off. One hell of a pilot and crew
to pull that off.

I have a web based scanner set up in Mystic on a relay - man those
guys worked fast.

Great job to the NYFD, USCG and the NY Waterways ferry captains.

Standing O to the pilots of that bird.

Funny story on NBC - Williams just interviewed one of the passengers
who was on his way to a golf vacation in FL. He just purchased a new
set of clubs - expensive Conways or something and he was more ****ed
about losing his new clubs than spending the afternoon on a wing in
the middle of the Hudson. :)

That's an A-380 - not a small plane and it's heavy.

That thing must displace some major weight.

Amazing it's still in one piece.

It's funny. As I sit here watching the news coverage, the thought occurred
to me that the response team, from ferries to police to USCG was just
outstanding. They all responded in an amazingly short period of time.
Plus, I can't even imagine the quick thinking of the pilot. He didn't have
much time to make any decisions.

I wonder how many passengers tried or gave a thought to trying to get
their "stuff" out of the overhead compartments.

The new clubs must have cost him 3 large. I don't think the Warsaw
Convention allows for the recovery of lost golf clubs nor does the guy's
wife. His wife will tell him that it is an omen for him to stop playing
golf.

Calloways are expensive clubs. They were probably fitted also. Hopefully,
the divers will retrieve them.

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.

I heard a guy say it a few years ago. A few days after 911 I was
watching a firefighter who had pulled folk out of the towers before
they went down.. He is the way it went down:

About New Yorkers
The fellow was telling a story about being in the hospital
interviewing a firefighter injured on September 11. He said that it
was "just like in a movie". At one point he (the interviewer) thanked
the fallen hero for going into the building with no concern for
himself or his own safety. "The firefighter lifted his head, and with
a thick NY accent said", "Whadidya expect, I'm a New Yorker".

All the first responders in this case were passenger ferrys and tour
boats, not emergency crews. Some were alongside the plane by the time
it stopped moving. Passengers on the ferrys assisted in getting people
aboard and giving their own clothing to try and warm up the extremely
cold and wet folks from the plane.
