another airline flight down. In the river.

The live video is showing lots of boats surrounding the plane. You can find live video on both cnn.com and my local station www.kgw.com

I pray that people are surviving this crash and that we will not have a devastating crash.

couldn't a submarine go under the plane and keep it from sinking? i'm watching this live on tv and was just wondering.

It doesn't seem to be sinking at all or is that just me?

I thought planes sank once they hit water...

Wow. Not the kind of weather you want to be wading in the Hudson. Apparently it went down on takeoff.

this is the most ridiculous thing ive literally ever read.

They are saying that a bird possibly struck the plane as well. This is amazing. Ive never seen video like this before.

I am praying that many people survive this. And no, this is definitely NOT the weather you want when going in the water.

they're saying a bird disabled two engines, two of them!!

I can't see thep lane anymore..i guess it has finally succumbed to the water..maybe not...i guess you can still see it!!!!

Yes I been watching this on TV, my husband said that it was a flock of geese trained by Alqaida that struck the airplane in the air.

Occurs he is just joking.

Apologies, I missed this thread and repeated the story...

cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com...

www.abovetopsecret.com...

The plane was on the way to Charlotte.

146 passengers, 5 crew. 21,000 plus gallons of fuel.

There are most definitely survivors, and at the moment emergency responders are using ferries to get people out of the water.

A request just went over the FDNY frequency for blankets to warm up approx. 30 survivors waiting on a pier.

Hopefully there will be many more.

everyone's out according to sky but the US news isn't reporting it?

This is horrible. Im watcing it on TV now

Can someone explain why it is floating and not sinking? Is it due to the depth of the river?



Uggg. Its so hard for me to fly as it is, this doesnt help

it's airtight and that makes it buoyant.

Well everybody got out of the air plane and they are safe any injurries that some have were because the impact but they all are alive.
