US Air flight 1549 crashes into Hudson river flying from Laguardia to Charlotte, NC. Plane is partially above water still. Westside highway shut down. People standing on wing of plane.

Reports: A bird hit the plane before going down (wow, hard to believe). Eyewitness says that it looked like a "controlled landing" because he knew it was going down.

More info as it comes...

I haven't heard of any fatalities. It looks as if there actually might be NO fatalities. Live pictures show people smiling while being taken to hospital.

A flock of seaguls (or geese) hit the plane 6 minutes after takeoff (confirmed...wow). Pilot new the plane would crash used the water way like a runway. Water temp. is 42 degrees (11 wind chill)

I hear that everyone got out safely, an amazing thing. The pilot deserves hero status.

When I see all those boats around the plane saving those folks, all I can say is HooRay for you New Yorkers!

Default Great job Capt

It was a bird strike with loss of both engines. The crew did an extraordinary job to ditch the plane in one piece, the A320
could have easily broke apart.

Excellent job of saving everyone.

To justfarr1030, may I ask why you entitled this "Breaking news!!! Plane crashes in hudson river!!!" Fatalities or no fatalities, please do not put exclamation points in the same sentence as a plane crash. I hope you are not one of those fools who has a postcard of the WTC on fire and collapsing.
