I am sure you have all seen the news of the US AIrways flight that landed in the Hudson River, big news here in NY


A miracle of all things working together: the pilots expertise, the location, the people who came to help: human beings at their best, restores your faith in people


Very emotional..for many it is the juxtaposition of 9/11..planes for destruction and evil


video from Coast guard camera, continous feed, slow until 3:31 when plane lands, by 3:33 a ferry is on its way to help

a local doctor just happened to be in NYC, he sped to the scene to help triage..one passenger flying with her 85 yr old mother was a patient of his from home!!


and I just flew US Airways last month!!

HI Dutch


The accident was amazing from beginning to end. I saw the video on CNN this morning from the coast guard amazing!! It does restore your faith in the human race to see people rushing out to help those in need. Such a wonderful thing that they all were safe.


We travel this airline everytime we travel for the most part.


Love ya
