My respect, admiration and congratulations for this miracle goes out to the brave captain, his crew, the passengers and everyone involved in the rescue action afterwards. I saw a video of the emergency landing and believe it or not, everybody seems to be out of the plane in less than 2 minutes.

"We're not gonna make to the airport, so i'm gonna touch down in the river, sounds crazy but it's better than having this plane crash land and explode in the city." What the piolet "Sulley" might have been thinking.

I wonder if they got their luggage back.

Good video AP. If you pay attention around 1:08 the tail of the plane looks like a prolapsed anus, doesn't it?

Ok, they knew the plane would be right there up close and had a chance to record it in high def, but didn't. In fact it's worse than standard def. Most vids on youtube are of higher quality.

Somebody needs to shoot whoever came up with the freaking "Dear Mr. President" crap. What the hell, shut the @#$% up already! The political system sucks and so do these idiots. Like Pepsi gives a crap anyway. Probably made by the Ad Council.

By the way, nice job by that pilot, everybody survived.
