With both engines out, a cool-headed pilot maneuvered his crowded jetliner over New York City and ditched it in the frigid Hudson River on Thursday, and all 155 on board were pulled to safety as the plane slowly sank. It was, the governor said, "a miracle on the Hudson." One victim suffered two broken legs, a paramedic said, but there were no other reports of serious injuries. - MSN Story"He was phenomenal," passenger Joe Hart said. "He landed it — I tell you what — the impact wasn't a whole lot more than a rear-end (collision). It threw you into the seat ahead of you.
"Both engines cut out and he actually floated it into the river," he added. - MSN
I am just amazed at what could have very easily been a tragedy of huge proportions for the 155 people on board and their friends and family. It is just amazing to hear the great stories.
I want to keep all of these great stories in mind for down the road when the lawyers start getting involved and people start trying to turn the event into a huge payday.
