Apparent bird strike causes plane to crash land in Hudson
If you're ever walking down the beach and you see a girl dressed in a bikini made out of seashells, and you pick her up and hold her to your ear, you can hear her scream.Tags: None

Well this didn't take long.

By landing successfully on water, the Captain had "achieved one of the most technically challenging and seldom attempted feats in commercial aviation".

Latest news is that both engines are missing from the plane. Apparently, that's not uncommon. They'll use sonar and probably find them somewhere on the bottom of the Hudson River.

Nah, my guess is the scrap-metal guys already pulled them last night and they're already in the Soprano chop-shop in East Tenafly.

Video now on the web. Coast Guard footage from a camera on shore. Nothing happens for the first two minutes, so you can just forward to 2:00 and then look the the left of the screen and you'll start seeing stuff.

First boat arrives at the right side of the plane four minutes after impact. Second boat pulls up to the left side of the plane 2 1/2 minutes later.
