Plane Sucks In Birds, Crashes in Hudson, All Passengers Safe

[Schneed10]

Seriously that pilot is a friggin hero. He was hoping to get to a landing strip in North Jersey but when he saw the Hudson he made the split decision to land the plane there rather than risk running out of power.

One person with one minor cut. Otherwise no injuries and no deaths. Remarkable.

It's amazing. Reminds me of that pilot who safely landed that Aloha Airlines (I think) plane after the roof of part of the cabin blew off in the air

AND he walked the plane twice to make sure everyone was off before exiting himself. Amazing dedication and professionalism. This guy deserves all the kudos he gets.
