US Airways plane crashes in New York Hudson river

Hear my dedication song for the pilot who saved the plane in the hudson river. The song is called ANGEL OF THE SKY. Find it on www.myspace.com/petegallinari. Also have a video of the song.

As one US Airways flight 1549 survivor put it, "God was certainly looking out for all of us." So I guess what this fortunate fellow means is, God, the old man with the beard who lives up in the clouds, decided that all the people on US Airways flight 1549 were so special, that he decided to frighten the crap out of all of them by faking a fatal plane crash, systematically making them think that they were going to die, then at the very last minute, God said, "HA-HA! Just kidding! I'm not going to kill you! I just wanted to scare the shit out of you, and then save your asses, since you're all so special, and I really want you to know that I care for you and love you, so I'm going to save you now, so that you believe in me. The passengers on Flight 800, and other catastrophic fatal crashes were generally not good people, and so I disposed of them... After all, I'm God, damn it, and I exterminate bad people. The Sudanese victims of genocide are generally bad people, which is why I don't let them live. 9-11 rescue workers, trapped and crushed on 9-11... Obviously bad people... Jewish victims of the Holocaust? Well certainly I had to kill them since they didn't believe in the divinity of my son Jesus. I mean, no brainer there."

There you have it folks. If you survived a near fatal plane crash, it wasn't because a highly trained and experienced professional crew exemplified ingenuity, composure, and skill to save your ass, it's because God in fact loves you more than others.

The pilot's action's are a testimony to the character inherent with military training and native Texans. Says it all, God bless him.

sounds like they were very lucky to land in the river. such a relief that everyone survived (at least according to early reports).

I'm so glad everybody is alive

No deaths. Good deal.

I am so happy everyone is OK. God Bless the pilot, crew, and rescuers for their heroism!

I'm extremely glad everyone survived with somewhat minor injuries, but the media needs to realize that after you've been covering the exact same thing for over 2 hours, it is no longer BREAKING NEWS. However, Sullenberger is a completely awesome name, no matter how much he got kicked around in grade school for it.

My dad is a USAirways pilot, and he flies that airplane, on that route, it was really scary for me. this is why these dudes get check rides every 6 months... in case of this shit

I have to agree with the posts about thanking the pilot and crew. This is not an act of god, nor does god deserve any thanks. This is the result of well trained crews. Thanks to the training programs, and thanks to the pilot who followed procedure. Albeit, the guy is not a hero, but he's a damn good and lucky pilot. If the wings dipped any which way those people would have been dead.

Absolutely awesome nonetheless. Good to hear that everyone survived.

scary stuff man.

I was just watching a news report talking about how they test plane engines to prepare them for "bird strikes." Apparently they fire birds into the engines! I'd be mortified if I didnt hate birds so much.

STOP CALLING THIS A MIRACLE!
The training of the pilot and the knowledge of the engineers are the gods in this scenario.
God has NOTHING to do with this because if he did the f**king plane wouldn't have crashed! Unless god has no dominion over birds.....

2 words - UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!

I wonder if the seat cusikns served as floatation devices??

Piece of Junk Airbus garbage

i think the pilot deserves a ton of credit for getting everybody off of that thing safely. he is a true hero.

amazing...somebody was watching over them..

I'd say that pilot deserves a drink, or 153.

This is scary. I hope everyone is OK. This only fortifies my fear of flying.... =0

amazed at this story the water is colder on that river then the ocean ,everybody got out,the pilots and crew,and rescuers are heros.im down stream in redhook u can hear the copters from the news.

wow glad everyone got off ok! good work on behalf of the pilot, crew and rescue teams for avoiding what couldve been a catastrophe!

hope everyone recovers soon!

Just watched this on the 'News at ten' well done to the Pilot, amazing flying!

Holy shit! I was just on a plane out of LGA going to NC about a month ago; when the plane starts to take off you calm yourself and say Hey, everything is going to be fine...this is so scary! It's FREEZING in NY but I'm glad that everyone survived and the ferried were able to help so many people.

as a scientologist, i find it impossible to believe that our alien overlords would give us a plane that could be taken out by simple geese.

Flying is still much safer than driving.
Godspeed, rescuers.

Everyone is alive, all kids and women got out first 148 Passengers out and the pilot did a great Job after a dual engine impact. It is not related to Terrorism and only few ladies with some leg injuries.

damn birds!!

I love flying...just when you're actually in the air.

Hopefully everyone came out ok.

Harsh on such a cold day for those passengers. I hope everyone is going to be okay.

i hate flying

There is not much info right now, but the major concern is the passengers in the water with the freezing temperatures.

Oh man. That's freaky. I hate hearing about plane crashes.

WOW! always on a day that I have to get a plane. sounds like everyone got off thank goodness

I hope everyone survived, or the casualties are few.
