NEW YORK - A US Airways passenger jet taking off from La Guardia airport in New York en route to Charlotte, N.C., crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday.

WNBC's Tim Minton quoted a governmnet source as saying that the pilot may have hit a flock of geese.

The plane is an Airbus A320. NBC News identified it as Flight 1549, which departed at 3:20 p.m. ET with about 145 passengers and five crew members aboard. It was a scheduled flight to the Charlotte-Douglas, N.C., airport.

Shit, I hope everyone is OK.

[DarkReign]

Shit, I hope everyone is OK.

As do I, but lets be realistic for a moment...

[Heath Ledger]

Everyone is okay. And why would you put this under entertainment you sick fucker?

[JudynTX]

Everyone survived.

[Birds]

THAT'S RIGHT BITCH! We are taking back the skies! Today is just the start- this is the first day of our take over

[DarkReign]

Thats a minor miracle right there. Great news (that everyone is ok, obviously).

[FreeMason]

Holographic pigeons.

Damn you Bush. Daammmnnn youuuuuu

[Crookshanks]

And they've cleared the geese from having any terrorist ties :lol

Seriously tho - it's incredible that the pilot was able to ditch that plane without it breaking up and they were able to get everyone off and there were no serious injuries.

Fucking suicide terrorist birds! The only hate us because we're free.

[doobs]

That pilot's getting laid tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck I fly tomorrow. Anyone want to go out to SAIAP with a shotgon for me?

[Birds]

Fucking suicide terrorist birds! The only hate us because we're free.

We have had enough with your capitalistic, pornographic society. We will take down one plane each day until this stops

[IceColdBrewski]

LOL

MSNBC just interviewed some New Yorker dude who was on the plane. Big mistake.

Reporter: "What was the landing like?"

Dude: "Scary as shit!"

[SnakeBoy]

We have had enough with your capitalistic, pornographic society. We will take down one plane each day until this stops

Fuck you birds! We will set up a new Department of Airspace Safety and hunt down and kill all radical birds while at the same time teaching all other birds the joys of democracy. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[FreeMason]

Bush created the Bird Flu.

He just had to push them over the edge.

They just just replayed it. Pretty awesome interview. Sounds like the pilots did a bad ass job.

Awesome Awesome Awesome troll.

i'm glad everyone ok, this probably wont ever be repeated again in history, a plane going down into water with 148+ on board and everyone surviving.

[Trainwreck2100]

I suddenly remembered my charlemagne Let my ardmees be da rocks and da treees and da burds in de skie.

[lefty]

As soon as I was told by a friend a plane went down, I knew it was an Airbus :td


Airbus = crap :td

The damn thing is still in one piece despite a hard landing into the water.

I was looking to make a terrorist joke, but I don't think I can top this. *applause*

While I agree with you I do want to point out that how an airplane crashes should not be a prime indicator of its performance. :lol

You know, I'm glad everyone is allright and all, but the media just overdoes it. I mean, I have heard in the past 30 minutes everything from a guy that was on standby for that flight to the biography of the pilot, along with the new 'hero of flight 1549' shtick. You keep on changing channels and it's the same shit.

[lefty]

That's because the pilot saved the day; that guy is good

[mrsmaalox]

Another amazing thing I heard about this crash: The men allowed the women and children off first!!

Awesome piloting :toast

Yeah I was pleasantly suprised when I heard that. I thought chivalry was long dead.

[jack sommerset]

Everybody on that plane should kiss the pilots ass.

[jack sommerset]

How rude of me. Thank you Obama.

[Spurtacus]

Movie deal probably up for grabs.

Pilot is a hero. No doubt.

[CavsSuperFan]

Kudos to "Sully"…But if he was so smart he would have been flying a Boeing & not some French Job that is so fragile it hits a bird & crashes…

Later stories said that wasn't actually true. Sorry.

A guy who was one of the last passengers off the plane helped a woman who was still on the plane with him. Also, another passenger admitted that people were jumping over seats and doing whatever they could to get to the exit first.

Oh no doubt a movie is already being discussed about this.

No need to apologize, I'm not surprised! :)

[Wild Cobra]

Here's a similar incident, but my understanding is the plane caught birds in both engines!

Except that the NYT Gossip Rag rarely knows the truth. Bird incidents with planes are not on the rise. They simply happen from time to time.

[sook]

god bless the pilot

[ploto]

amazing video and 911 calls:

[Wild Cobra]

No Shit Sherlock.

It's just almost exactly the same story the NYT had! I mentioned that because they are the leader in propaganda that others follow.

Most stories are from the same sources.

[TDMVPDPOY]

how deep is that river btw? amaze that the plan could land on that without any major break downs
