New York--BM2 Von Rankin, boat coxswain Station New York, gives his accounts regarding the plane crash in the Hudson River January 15. (U.S. Coast Guard video/PA3 Annie Berlin)
If it weren't for the Ferry Pilots who were there on scene first most of these people may have been in the water before the emergency services even responded to the job! So just get to the point and say if it werent for those ferry pilots these people would not have survived the cold waters!
THIS is why we THANK our Coast Guard members! GREAT job! These people are incredibly lucky that it wasn't worse than this. What is with all the planes coming down lately?
Had this been lake ontairio It would of been bad ruffer waves and not much coast gaurd or ferries to save them

This was the best place for water landing. Hudson near Manhattan is always filled with a bunch of boats. Summer or winter.

NY Waterways rescued almost all the people, because they had boats nearby.
