A320 Airbus lands in Hudson River
U.S. Airways Flight 1549 plunged into the Hudson River due to an encounter with a flock of Canadian Geese. Both engines were struck by the birds as it took off from La Guardia Airport.
The fact that no one was killed is being credited to the experienced skills of Captain Chelsey (Sully) Sullenberger. Captain Sullenberger was able to control the A320 Airbus long enough to make a controlled landing on the river.
Ferries taking workers between Manhatten and New Jersey were quickly rerouted to assist with picking up passengers.
Mayor Bloomberg was heard at the scene stating that the pilot did a masterful job landing the plane in the river and then making sure everyone got out.
