Re: OMG! Plane crash in the Hudson River!
HOLY CRAP !
I hate to say it, but at least it was in the river and not on the ground. I still remember when Cory Lidle crashed his plane into the hi-rise. Can't imaging what a plane that size would do. (Shuddering )
I can't see anything from my office, I'm too far on the East Side.

A US Airways plane has crashed into the Hudson River, sending passengers fleeing for safety in the frigid waters.
New York City firefighters and ferry boats are responding to the accident. It was not immediately clear if there were injuries.
WNBC, quoting a government source, says the pilot reported hitting a flock of geese.
'I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And, splash, it hit the water,' said witness Barbara Sambriski, a researcher at The Associated Press.

I just read that they suspect that. 3:26 flight out of La Guardia to Charlotte. I hear all the sirens!!
ETA: Some passengers were being taken to the Circle Line piers nearby at West 42nd Street
