    @PresidenToor: Um, this is just a hunch, but if I saw a plane flying low down around the river, I would be a little too concerned about what that meant to take any pictures or video.

    PS I just noticed not all the photos you tagged with my handle are mine. If you check my photostream you'll see, for example, that the one with the water towers on the roof is not mine. Just mentioning in case some other Flickr user gets pissed -- because I don't steal and ALL the photos in my flickr account are mine. I think your peeps mislabeled some of them.

    This would be a very different story if the plane crashed into Jennifer Hudson, rather than just THE Hudson, and with a very different likely outcome.


    Ironically, I'm reminded that Henry Hudson himself was abandoned by his mutinous crew in the coldness of winter, left to float in a raft with his young son down the river that now bears his name. Again, had Jennifer been there, singing her signature song from Dreamgirls on that raft, it is impossible to imagine the crew of Henry's ship would have abandoned Henry and his son to certain death.


    I only hope the media gives Jennifer her space. My God, hasn't that girl been through enough?

    HEY! I'm FannyBrownRice a.k.a Susie Glad you found/used the pics on Flickr. I was working from home for my day job truTV -- and I ran out the door to take pics. Posted about this on our "Dumb As A Blog" -- my day job blog: [blog.trutv.com]


    BTW the pics of the guys just talking on the phone? They were emergency personnel discussing getting blankets for the survivors. Slightly more interesting? Mebbe. xoxo, me

    Canada geese are federally protected, so it's a federal offense to kill them. I think the fine starts at $5,000. Boy, is that pilot's wife gonna be mad when she hears about that fine.

    Yikes. Yesterday i saw an article with the headline "Major airlines go 2 years without fatalities," and I immediately thought, why would you jinx the airline industry like that. I really hope everyone is alright.

    Everyone on tv keeps talking about what a perfect landing it was, how air travel is so safe, what a hero the pilot was, the controlled landing in the river. A perfect landing would have been on the intended runway in Charlotte no?

    The pilot will be with the mayor at a 5:40 pm press conference. I will not be surprised if the pilot is wearing a cape with a big S emblazoned on his chest.

    Watched the plane float past my office by Chelsea Piers. NYPD boats were offloading rescued passengers at Chelsea piers, and the Westside Hwy. was clogged with emergency service vehicles.

    That first frame is amazing for how soon it was taken, since I have heard the rescue boats were there fast. Still waiting, though, for someone to come up with the cell phone video of the river landing. Just a matter of time.
