A plane has just crashed into the Hudson River in NYC; the 148 passengers have been rescued.


The FAA has confirmed ALL people on board are rescued; the plane hit a flock of geese and shut down both engines
I’ve seen the pics of the plane sinking

Repeat NO casualties have been reported; just some very wet passengers and a US Airways plane now a new artificial reef

I thought it was 155 passengers, all rescued with no injuries?

i head 148 on the news a little while ago, and they showed some of the rescued passengers being moved into the hospital, suffering from hypothermia. Thank God no one was killed. LaGuardia is a very hard airport to use, i'm told.

Thanks for the post, Silver.
