I saw on the news this morning he had given the shirt off his back to a passenger who had given his to a woman to keep warm. What a guy, I'm sure he will get one, but he deserves some kind of award.

Heard on the radio this morning:

And US Air is not even going to charge them an extra "miracles" fee.

Re: US Airways A320 down in Hudson River

I am waiting until monday to see if Howard Stern repeats his DC prank
when that plane crashed into the potomac in the 80's he talked about calling the Airline to see how much a one way ticket to the Potomac River would cost

Tupolev 124 ditching in Neva River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
File:CCCP-45021.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Eyewitnesses saw the airplane descend upstream along the river, passing the Liteyny Bridge at an altitude of less than 300 feet. Immediately after the turn, the craft glided over the high steel structures of the Bolsheokhtinsky Bridge with approximately 100 feet (30 m) of clearance. Tu-124 flew just over the Alexander Nevsky Bridge - under construction at the time - barely missing it. The pilot managed to ditch the aircraft onto the river surface,[1] narrowly avoiding an 1898-built[3] steam tugboat at the last moment
