US Air flight forced down by a flock of geese. FAA reports all passengers have been rescued. Yes those folks NOT climbing into the raft are standing on the wing. There's an experience you'd rather not have, right? Thanks to AM770 CHQR, Clusterstock and DB and their readership (US Air Flight Crashes In Hudson).
UPDATE1: Janis Krums from Sarasota, Florida posts the first photo of U.S. Airways flight 1549 on Twitter
UPDATE2: Here Here, hip-hip-horray! Full accolades to the pilot and crew for a miraculous save.
UPDATE3: The details of the accident are recounted from interviews with the crew and others. Simply amazing that mere minutes into takeoff, losing both engines catastrophically, and gliding the bird from 3000' elevation to a safe landing. Outstanding execution of ones job and responsibilities (5 white-knuckled minutes aboard Flight 1549)
