Damn they evacuated damn quick. How that thing never broke up on entry and managed to stay afloat is amazing.

Thanks for the link

Is that Concorde in the background???

From what I understand the plane did exactly what it is supposed to do in a water landing. Like for instance I just learned that they designed them so that the engines will sheer off in such an event without taking off the wings.

Yeah, thought they got out fast as well. I think that is a Concorde in the background as they got one at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum nearby.

to think that the Hudson has ice today and might've hit ice particles if landed today is wierd. awesome landing by the pilot.

wow, the first ferry was there in 3 minutes. glad to see everyone safe.

Wow!!! That was fast!

Fast exit indeed.

Awesome clip !!!! :thumbsup

Must have been such a relief when they saw those boats coming by so quick. Nice bit of teamwork there !! :pimp

Saw it a few times already. It's very touching.

That video is truly amazing.

Far right side, guy or girl falls in and another grabs them out quickly.

The BBC has a video of the whole thing.. not great quality, but you get an idea of how it landed.

It was actually a very smooth looking landing.

That is what we were thinking too.
