Of course. I did not say anything to the contrary. I was just wondering about the fuel. A big concern is pollution of the river. I personally don't care I was just wondering why they did not dam the floating fuel. The hazmat team usually goes in to take care of that

I'm sure they pumped out the tank(s). Besides..gasoline sinks! Oil floats.
the pilots are heros. They brought up the nose perfectly before it touched down in the water, keeping the fuselage intact and saving everyones life. + they knew of the problem and turned over the hudsen to ditch in the water instead of houses where many would have died.
hats off them them..
You are 100% correct!
My husband (also a pilot who graduated from the Air Force Academy) is absolutely amazed at what this pilot was able to do. He made split second decisions that saved everyone's lives on that plane.
My hubby can't stop telling me how absolutely difficult pulling that off was.
Kudo Kudos Kudos to Capt.Sullenberger!!!~ HERO!!!!!

Shanny- My FIL (CF-100 and Sabre pilot) and your hubby can testify to the heroic effort of this pilot. Here is his profile-http://www.linkedin.com/pub/5/209/118
I believe that they are planning on trying to get the plane out of the water so they can do an investigation.
I'd imagine they want to salvage the plane because it's costly equipment to replace. Probably just needs some engine repair drying and new airline snacks.
