  • is it in the shore or what..i think theyre walking..

  • Comment removed

  • Did you really just say that?

  • Seriously, I have been laughing for about 10 straight minutes about the person falling at 3:12 in the video. What the hell was that person doing? Just walking around looking at shit?

  • has any actual footage of the landing touchdown been shown

  • ROFL 3:12, that guy just slipped on tip of the right wing

  • It looks like no one is wearing life jackets.

  • did they get charged for the ferry ride? also did they get a refund on their airplane tickets.

  • the staten island ferry is free why shouldn't this one? lol what i want to know is how did they go thru customs? @ least this time its not the airports fault for losing their luggage! lol

  • I thought a plane crashes into small pieces if lands on water... how did they manage this?

  • It landed flat on its belly. Essentially, it glided straight onto the water. It wasn't all that high in the sky because if the plane had been higher in the sky, even gliding to the earth would have caused a crash

  • what are you talking about? Being higher just means he would of had increased glide distance which would infact been better.

  • This seems fake . You should erase the twin towers if you want people to believe your vid

  • Looking at old sky line photos I see the towers were much bigger than the two in the vid . My mistake .sorry

  • @h2oholic wow dude wow

  • @barni0425 flyiing exactly 11 degrees to the water.

  • " I don't remember the airport being this wet "

  • Coldcash... Those arent the twin towers you fool. There are several buildings that look like them up there

  • its at 2:02 . this is amazing.

  • no its not

  • Comment removed

  • well caught.

  • There is a conspiracy born every minute... :-) Ground Zero is way to the South (out of the picture to the right). I think what you can see is a couple of towers in Trump Place. Well done to the USCG for releasing this - what is really suspicious is that in the middle of New York, they are the only people to capture video of a jet landing in the river in the middle of the day... :-)

  • no those are not the twin towers in the background

  • Lol, no those aren't the twin towers.

  • the twin towers were much bigger and greater

  • Unbelievable landing! I have so much respect for the pilot and the crew on that flight! We also can't forget the people of NYC. As much as new yorkers get a bad rep for being assh*les, they always manage to gather together at tough times and help each other out!

  • Looks like ferry boat gangbang vs the plane. On a serious note, thats got to be some kind of record. First boat arrived 4 minutes after landing.

  • Incredible. I wish people could be mature and not leave negative comments and argue, can't we at least agree on something, this is amazing and positive and a miracle.

  • Very well put man!

  • Sometimes we have happy endings.The news isn't always bad.This is amazing.

  • 2:02  Masterful landing!!!

  • What a hero that pilot was, and the boats that came to the rescue to get everyone to safety did an amazing job! well done!

    Everyone was rescued and brought to safety!

  • Indeed so. I would definately like to meet/interview this guy someday!

  • Check out "US Airways Flight 1549" on Wikipedia. It's got it's on wiki page!

  • think how cold that water must be

  • I'm really glad everyone survived.

  • Michael is starting Center Of Circulation at 9PMEST. Listen live on ipr365dotcom or call 18003811921

  • wow...this is an intense movie

  • Next time save us the trouble of skipping through the video and cut off the first 2 minutes of nothing

  • What if he doesn't know how?

  • Miacle on the Hudson river. God saved those people in that plane....but he also put those birds there wtf?

  • the birds where the sinners, hence why god killed them and didn't kill the people

  • cudn't agree more with ya!!!

    to all you religous lunatics listen to this MAN/BOY!

  • Yes , we can spend $150 million +++ on an inauguration while the US is facing financial collapse. YES WE CAN !

  • Our national debt increases by $3.41 billion per day, more than 22 times what the inauguration costs, so don't sweat it.

  • Georgie boy spent a few trillian on a dogus war.Yes HE DID!

    But he's just misunderestimated.

  • The truth is out there.

  • Great job by the water taxis. How ironic to see the Concorde in the background.

  • yes and fuck him lol

  • yes and drop dead.

  • y? urs is different than mine im muslim and i believe in all the prophets but we dont call him son of Allah cuz he is not

  • Amen.

  • you're doing it wrong

  • how do u add the little time thing in ur comments so wen peeps cick on it it goes to that time?

  • Good question. Anybody in the room know how exactly? I think I seen it done before but it's been a LONG time ago and I never do it anyways :(

  • the twin towers are on the back!!! haha WTF

  • 1. the twin towers don't exist anymore

    2. they were in downtown, not in midtown (which is what u see)

    3. ARE YOU SERIOUS ?

  • That isn't the Twin Towers just a couple of regular skyscrappers in MidTown

  • dumbass

  • you are trying to stop the rain from falling. Isreal and gaza, aka Philistines(Old testament) have been fighting for thousands of years. there is not much you can do other than pick sides.

  • Maybe this is a video from a parallel universe where the twin towers still stand.

  • omg! of course not! the twin towers don't excist anymore! xD

  • WOW SO FUCKING XCITING LOLZZZZZZZ

  • oh shit is that the twin towers in the backgroung?

  • The linea are much shorter at the docks fuck those airports

  • Thats awesome!

    look at this! /watch?v=Vd0ExeI8z1k

  • boring..

  • There comes a time in one's life when it is about taking care of the moment, being true and strong... to rise above and shine brightly. This pilot did just that. Let us recognize his bravery, skill, and professionalism in his moment to make the ultimate difference.

  • Here here. I think the man deserves a medal or something.

  • Yes all of the crew members on each of the ferries and the plane should be awarded medal of valors!

  • did yall see that lady fall in the beginning? wow this so cool

  • Amen FORJESUS09

    (God had angels to set the plane down gently (all knowledge comes from God and all things in earth) with the pilots help too, keeping the plane together, and from sinking

  • amen.....

  • The camera location? On the east and west banks of the Hudson are large ventilation towers for the Lincoln Tunnel connecting Weehawken NJ to Manhattan. This camera is mounted on the Weehawken tower obviously, but of interest, maybe only a hundred yards from the location were Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton in their famous duel. Hamilton Park on the cliff in Weehawken is one of the best places to view Manhattan from, just north of this tower...

  • I think we visited Hamilton Park if I remember correctly a few years ago. Weather could have been better, but still awesome to be there.

  • Thankyou for flying "Mccain Airways"!!

    We Get You There........Or Damn Close!!!

    LAMO

  • LMFAO!!!!!

  • These Jersey ferry captains (NY WATERWAY) are amazing, the ferries cross from Weehawken, Hoboken & Jersey City to Manhattan in about 8 minutes. Every time they dock they enter at a fairly high speed throwing it in reverse at the last moment so they touch the dock with a slight bump and then throttle it up full to keep the boat up against the dock while folks disembark, its a cool way to see Manhattan too. They have the perfect training for this kind of event.

  • Thank goodness for the redundacy and repetition during training! Times like this it surely pays off!

  • what a useless looser

    landing strip was like 50 meters from crash site

  • are those the twine towers in the background or just some other buildings

  • r u serious? the plane crashed like less than a week ago. obviously not the twin towers.

  • i know but it just looks wierd

  • Thankyou for flying "Mccain Airways"!!

    We Get You There........Or Damn Close!!!

    LAMO

  • Guys skip to 2:00

    The first two minutes are total waste.

  • wait my bad I was thinking of hudson new york my town is right next to that but that might not be hudson up there

  • I hope sum cinqs died

  • what is a "cinqs"?

  • hey people, send me your picks

    cause i can't make a new video.

  • Thanksyou for flying "McCain Airways"

    We get you there .....or damn close!! LOL

  • thank god it hit the water! Way to close to those 2 towers in the background.

  • Those ferry boats responded fast as hell

  • And, think about the driving skills of the ferry captain. Fast response, swift water (look how fast they drift) and if the ferry boat even tapped/bumped into the plane it could have easily knocked people off the plane's wings and into the water.

    Just a great job by all involved.

  • Yeah the current on the Hudson was incredible! I remember myself being on the Hudson River several years ago on a cold, wintry, windy day. It was BITTER when we went outside on the deck to see The Statue Of Liberty. It was 15 degrees colder on this day and it had to be hard for anyone to keep their balance on those wings!

  • I live right by there

  • Do you have any videos or photos of this event since you live close by?

  • no I dont live in husdson the town next over takes like 15 minutes to get there

  • surreal.impressive.amazing

  • is it just me or are those the twin towers in the backround

  • Thats the new CNN/Time Warner center.

  • its just you, look how short they are

  • Michael You got a hit on your hands here brother, on the top list with this one! At a BOY!

  • Is it really? I knew I had the most downloaded video I have ever posted but at the TOP of Youtube? WOW!

  • Yeah the response to this one has been incredible!

  • watch from 2:00

  • And to all the losers who laugh about a plane crash victim falling off the wing they're clinging to into the freezing cold Hudson: life will come for you too. May there be plenty of people laughing at you when it does. Oh, and don't expect to ever lose your virginity.

  • edit the first two minutes out, its boring, and its a waste of my time!

  • Anyone who thinks this is fake needs to do the following: find a working electrical outlet, insert your tongue. Anyone who thinks the WTC is visible in the background, (in midtown no less) follow instructions for the losers calling fake.

  • lol, someone fell in

  • the MIRK video is something. . .

  • MIRK Video?

  • For those who are asking...

    The two towers in the video are the Time Warner Center located at Columbus Circle, the South West corner of Central Park and a pretty cool place to visit, before entering the park at Merchant's Gate.

  • I was wondering what those were. Thanks

  • TIME WARNER CENTER shit for brains

  • 2:03

  • Wow, that was handled perfectly.... Great job everyone and thank God no one was killed.

  • peep my latest vid to see why you shouldnt play with explosives

  • 2:00

  • my family was almost on that plane

  • maaaan ur family is very fortunate

  • Really? Did they cancel their original flight or somethin?

  • Wow, that's some good boat handling too. That current is fast! Care was really needed not to crush the plane and the people on it.

    Great job by all the pilots, crew and rescuers!

  • Yeah that is something I think has been overlooked : How FAST that COLD water is moving!! It could not have been easy to stand out there on those wings. Had to feel like you were going to fall off at any moment

  • miracle..a fucking miracle

  • What are those 2 towers i see in the NY skyline standing side by side?

  • seriously,not trying to be disrespectful but what are they?

  • ....wow.

    you must be a virgin

  • God Bless!

  • wow good job to the crew that could hav been bad but they did there job well

  • im still tryin to figure out how he safely glides an aircraft weighing at least 10 tons into a river without any engines. great job, well done.

  • This is kinda like throwing a paper airplane, the plane is capable of gliding smoothly without artificial thrust. So the feat achieved by the pilot doesn't seem very trivial.

  • Most planes aren't, the A320 and 737 are widely regarded as pretty much the only planes that can glide without power...

  • aerodynamics

  • Simply put: The guy was the best at what he does and he stayed cool in a time that could have been very tragic.

  • kudos to the crew and passengers at the emergency exits. within 40 seconds the doors were off and passengers already on the wings. From a very reliable source, no panicing and women and children were off first. Well done GREAT JOB TO ALL INVOLVED

  • you're dumb. go away :)

  • If this is any indication of how 2009 will be, things are looking up !!!

    What a great outcome !!!

    :)

  • i thunk it the CG would have gotten there faster. they are right there,o well,alls well.

    Bravo to the ferry ppl and pilot.

  • This proves that it was all Bill Clinton's fault!

  • Heard that, they were building, Twin Towers II. As they are, calling it. To remember those, that lost their lives, on 9/11.

  • For real? Man if that is the case, talk about something to STICK IT TO THE TERRORISTS! They brought our planes down during 9-11 and brought us to our knees. But here, a plane was brought down safely while the new towers are going up! AWESOME!

  • What are those two twin towers in the background of the video from 0:00 to approx. 0:52?

    I can't identify those landmarks.

    Just wondering.

  • I know it's not....but it LOOKS LIKE THE TWIN TOWERS in the background!!!! thats kinda neat

  • wow that happened quite smoothly and they were lucky it happened in a populated area and not in the middle of the ocean.

    That water looks like it's moving fast too, keep having to move the camera.

  • Not to mention, COLD. It was not even 20 degrees out there and when you are wet, that makes it even colder and in more danger of hypothermia

  • nice video i knew someone had to have taped it

  • It wasn't a crash, it was a great landing in water. Kudos to the crew and passangers.

  • This is definately the best video of this incident

  • They got lucky.

  • The pilot did a fantastic job but don't overlook the flight attendants who had those doors open and everyone out in about 90 seconds through just the front doors and wing exits!

    Kudos to the ferry pilots, too, for taking such immediate action. What a model of how it should be done, with no ditching experience!

  • The pilot himself had experience in landing miltary planes, including gliders. I'm sure his experience definately paid off here

  • idiotwind75 (18 minutes ago) Says:

    "are you fucking kidding me?! _ Obama can't even tie his own shoelace without secret service helping him"

    NO. That was Bush. B-U-S-H. Bush. I know how 8 years of the worst president in United States history can cause this confusion. Your healing may take quite a bit of time. Again, it's "BUSH" you meant to say.
