No joke...everyone directly involved gets some serious kudos.  Heheheh...the good Major and I were laughing last night about how the first responders actually beat the press out to the plane...   Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" -- Isaiah 6:8 |

It is like the attacks on 9/11. Alot of people that normally wouldnt give a **** about others went out to help and do all they could for those in danger, it shows that people do have a good side when it really counts.

I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that the pilot was a former military pilot.

Surprised there has been no video evidence caught of the actual decent in view of the location and the number of media devices people have nowadays. Here is the best I have seen, a long shot of the final few seconds as the airliner hits the water. This is caught by the coastguard camera. Wind the Youtube video forward to around 2 mins (not the time on the picture) or else it gets a bit boring! http://coastguardnews.com/youtube-vi...ed/2009/01/16/ The subsequent footage of the rescue is quite detailed though I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.

I've been told that the hero pilot was born and raise in Texas.

I saw this on the news here as well, and that's one very impressive landing! And it's even more incredible that that there were no casualties or serious injuries. Great job by the pilot!! |

At around 3:13 of the Youtube video a dopey passenger either slips or decides to jump in the river. This is near the tip of the starboard/right wing. Then another seems to fish him out!
