Yeah shit is f*cking ILL. Looks like everyone got off okay though... I swear, as a dude who flys a lot, I would have never thought I would have seen a plane just floating there in the water like it was. Incredible. That pilot is a hero straight up.
Seriously this is blowing my mind. I cannot believe that shit went off so controlled like it did. People were just standing on the wings while it was floating in the river, and a bunch of ferries and boats just came and picked them up. AMAZING!

Some dude from my company was on that exact same flight route yesterday and my good friend is scheduled to fly on that same flight tomorrow.
freaky-deaky.
If either of them were on the plane today, you'd know two people who NO MATTER WHAT can always tell a story that will top yours. I would like to be wherever these 151-153 people are partying tonight.
these people are so lucky he was at the helm, jesus! it sounds like he is an authority on the planet for air safety and a brilliant pilot. this was obviously the culmination of a lifetime of career passion and devotion and expertise. real hero. do they make em like that anymore?
Danville! (My wife's hometown). Dude is also a 'visiting scholar at the University of California at Berkeley???s Center for Catastrophic Risk Management."
a friend of mine lives just there so he took these...
That big fireboat right next to the plane on the right side, I was on it two months ago at a party to spread someone's ashes by the statue of liberty. The plane landed maybe 20 blocks from where it docks. They couldn't have put the plane down in a better spot, the amount and proximity of police and fireboats are ridiculous...not to mention the ferries that were all over.
My girlfriend is an air traffic controller for one of NYC's airports, she told me last night that birdstrikes happen a lot, the last one she had was a couple weeks ago.
By the way, if anyone knows any young folks who are kinda drifting and looking for a job, tell them to look into air traffic control. They are hiring like crazy, as long as they can handle a little stress and pass a few tests.

A little stress?
Air traffic control is ranked 2nd below police officer among the most stressful jobs! i.e. it ain't all good!

They didn't train them. They implanted tiny transmitters and used remote controls! Haha......

his credentials are insane!

I bet there were some fish that were like "Whoa! How did we end up up here?!"
Slightly tweaked, but I think I should have left in the crossed arms for attitude:
