They think they might have had control and put it down since the plane seems to be intact
An airplane crashed into the Hudson River.

Lightning can't crash a plan but birds can? The hell.

Oh fuck no even though this is actually more of a water landing and not a "crash" but still scary.. I have to take those little planes on my
connecting flights to get home and seriously that is like my fear. I'm holding my damn breath for like 2 hrs til we land. And I hate when I leave L.A. and
they turn over the ocean.

Passengers have on life vest so there was preperation prior to lowering into the water.

My roommate just called me, she saw the plane go down from her office. I can't believe there is a plane in the Hudson. It looks like they are towing the
plane to shore before letting people off?

Wolf Blitzer is freaking out and yelling more than usual. They said the temperature in the water is in the 40s.

I can see the entire scene from my office. It's crazy. I was just watching them tow the airplane from the water. It crashed by the Interprid which is also
right by me. I don't think anyone I work with saw it go down though.

Ok so the passengers have been let off and most of them are on the fire boat, via CNN.

It's scary to have watched it sink.
