The plane looks fully intact and they're saying a flock of birds flew into the engines making them fail and the pilot had to crash land. 146+ people aboard.

Ferry boats are pulling up to the plane to get people off it. Craziness..

Amazing pilots.

Yup, you rarely ever hear that... everyone surviving. Bad ass pilots to land that in water without casualties. The water was something like 40F though, glad it floated and no one ended up in the river

So glad everyone is ok.

Heard this on the radio. I've flown over the Hudson River before and I was with my mom and she is terrified of flying, she kept thinking we were going to crash into the river. I wonder what her reaction will be to this! lol

I'm just glad everyone made it out ok.

There's nothing like crashing into the good old Hudson.

Props to the pilot for keeping everyone safe.

Apparently there's a script being wrote already and Tom Cruise has expressed interest in playing the pilot. No idea how he can pull off being a 58 year old man that looks 70 but I guess we'll see.

TOM CRUISE is seriously considering turning last week's (15Jan09) Hudson River plane rescue into a blockbuster movie.
Like all flying enthusiasts, the actor - a keen pilot - was left stunned by US Airways' Captain Chesley B. 'Sully' Sullenberger's heroics as he landed his plane on the river after the craft collided with a flock of geese upon departure from New York's LaGuardia airport.
All 155 passengers and crew were safely escorted from the sinking plane, and Cruise still can't believe the plane landing didn't become a huge tragedy.
He says, "It's remarkable."
And speaking to U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, he admits he is interested in turning Captain Sullenberger's heroics into a major movie.
He adds, "I was with people today and they said, 'There's a movie in here.' I'm thinking about that."
The actor is also thinking about calling Capt. Sullenberger personally - to express his admiration for the job his fellow pilot did: "To have done such a heroic job... I know what it's like, because we train for emergencies and then for it to happen and to have it turn out the way it did - that's how we want them all to end."
