why are the twin towers in the background? That is what is squared off in the begining isn't it?

[joshwinz]

They are NOT the twin towers, They are the Time Warner Towers.

oh one last thing..as we are praising the pilots for their courage and skill..let us not forget those on those boats who immediately changed course and headed to rescue the passengers and crew on the wings..it was a VERY cold day and if they had to wait much longer the injuries could have been much worse

@MrMasidonio amen to that. its reassuring that theres still some decent people out there. i was lucky to meet Sully. hes a great guy.

Alright buddy; I'm going to use some logic so bear with me. I know logic is a bit hard for you to understand so I'm going to spell it out as much as possible.

911/2001 Two planes crash into the Twin Towers causing them to eventually collapse. In other words, they no longer exist.

1/15/2009 A little over 7 years LATER this plane crashes in the Hudson. If the Twin Towers were destroyed 7 years ago, what makes you think they are in the background of this video?

interesting to see a full size plane sitting on the pier at 4:17

[BuzzEnWell]

I Didn't See No 150 People On Those Wings ? !!!

[TheUnknown8881]

@jthdrummer71 The North tower has a antenna. It dosen't look like it has one in the video so there not the twin towers!

person falls off right wing at furthermost edge, @ 03:10 as another person comes to his/her aid.
