Last I remembered, there was also a KLGA tower feed, so there is plenty of coverage for this as it happened. This will undoubtedly be posted in the clips section there. BL.

There were 146 passengers on board the flight, along with 5 crew members. The FAA is reporting all passengers are out of the plane, and a secondary search is underway. The plane went down near 48th Street. The plane took off from LaGuardia at 3:11 p.m. Government officials say the plane's two engines went down after a bird struck the plane. Witnesses say it appeared the plane made a controlled landing. "It was just unbelieable how this plane landed," said one witness. STORY

Now does that mean they lost power or they went down as in fell off when the plane hit the water? Gubment can use the worst wording sometimes.... (yes I know what they were referring to)

Lots of confusion as to where all passengers were taken. Passengers taken to a few different piers. FDNY Marine unit maintaining position at plane all other units returning to shore/pier with passengers. Medevacs being stood down.

Someone said it went so flawlessly that they thought that it was planned. Last edited by nano404 on Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:34 pm, edited 2 times in total.

It's still possible they will be names in lawsuits yet today, they have about a half hour to get them filed.
