Default US Airways plane down in Hudson River

Watching now on CNN live. Seems all in one piece and its on the surface. Throwing life jackets in with 4 ferrys all around it.

Flying from NYC to Charlotte. 100 people on board.

pilot did an amazing job keeping the plane in 1 piece and to keep from it flipping when it hit. I'd say they're due a pretty good size bonus for that one.

Never heard of both engines going out on an A320 before. Flown on them dozens and dozens of times and been thru cockpit before... basically whole plane's flown with a joystick from a video game.

Birds are out of control here in Albany, never seen it like this. The trees in the State Campus are all covered in them. They must be all messed up by the extreme cold and trying to get further south.
