It was on its way to Charlotte. Pilot said he hit a flock of Geese and chose to bring it down in the river.

People are still in the plane.
They have yet to open the doors?

....and to think of all the flights I took last year......
....and to think how I just ignored and never paid attention to the "your seat bottoms can be used as flotation devices".......
Scary.

That pilot is a "real life" hero.
Amazing to pull that off.

Patrick,
This thing is sinking fast.
People are still on board it seems.
Well that was just dismissed.
It seems they got passengers off.

Whoa. Good for him. Definitely a smart move and does make me nervous about the amount of flying I do each year.

I hope DrMRS doesn't see this story. I was just flying US Air on the east coast earlier in the week.
Thoughts go out to all the passengers....
