Jet Crashes in NYC

Post by Skippman »

Jet crashes into NYC river! Coast Guard and police are responding.

According to the news I've found there's over 100 people on it.

I have been watching this on CNBC news. Looks like everyone on board was able to get off alive. I think the pilot did a great job! :supz: Was not the pilots fault that the plane hit a flock of geese. The rescue was fantastic :supz:

Has anyone found a video of the actual water landing? I heard there is supposed to be one out there, but I haven't found it yet.
