135 on board...Reports still coming in.
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
Not the first passenger airliner to go down soon after taking off from a New York airport. Although I think all others left JFK.
There was one that witnesses reported was struck from below over the Atlantic (1999?). A flight to Dominica which crashed into a residential area and an Air Egypt flight. I felt there was a problem in the area.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Eyewitnesses are saying it may have hit a flock of geese. No fatalities reported so far. That would be miraculous.

No casualties reported so far - that includes injuries. It must have been a very smooth emergency landing.Originally Posted by strangeirish
You can't spell failure without FAI

By all accounts the physics of landing on water is pretty much akin to landing (without landing gear) on a ploughed field.
What a pilot!
Crazy that there's very little injuries.
150 passengers (+5 staff) on board according to FAA, everyone off the plane and accounted for.

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
This is all over Sky News. There are probably dozens of Palestinians being slaughtered right now, but 135 White fat Americans are infinitely more important, I guess.
Whats your source for them being white and fat?
With a statement like that, is it unreasonable to assume that the operation of a remote control is beyond your comprehension?

I think a plane landing in a River in one of the worlds busiest cities with all on board surviving and only minor injuries is pretty newsworthy regardless of what else is going on it the world.

Bah, who cares about this nonsense when we have to choose between Ulrika, your one from Sugababes, some other one and that girl who thinks shes Irish to be evicted tomorrow night in Big Brother.
Bit of perspective is required people
Manhattan does really look like a big penis.
In Trap we trust
The only injury I've reported is a leg fracture for one of the flight attendants.

that was nice of you. Hope shes alright.
seriously though, fair f*ckin play to the pilots on this one. The more i think about this the more impressive/lucky it seems!!!
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
A girl I know was on it. Lucky her (in a way).
Doh, meant to say 'seen reported'
