Yeah pretty good, right?
The second shot if you zoom in the wing is sticking out of the water. iPhone camera....
Looks like a hell of a good job by the captain. Ditching is not something you get a chance to practice.
Apple's Stocks Tank Today!
Right now I am watching my local news and a minute ago came a story about Apple's stocks tanking today: just checking they lost over 5%. This is probably because of Steve Jobs letter announcing his sickleave yesterday.
On another note: a plane crashed into the Hudson River after a bird or a flock of birds flew into the engine (The birds fail). Everyone survived and there are no signs of terrorism. The pilot is a hero!
I am watching Governor Patterson giving his speech right now. "Miracle on the Hudson" is how he referred to this because of the fact everyone survived. Jeez, they didn't go to commercial just now- instead they went to the station. I knew about this and i announced it on Facebook three hours ago- they are talking about it just now. A lady actually saw the crash and was hysterical on TV. At my local airport something similar happened a little while ago: a plane was talking off at 4PM and all of the tires blew out and the engines died. Noone was injured.
I heard from the Phil Defranco show when I got home from school and my dad thought it was bull until the 6pm news went to the plane.

I've always wondered why jet engines don't have some kind of screen or fencing type barrier in front of them that wouldn't restrict the air intake but would prevent objects such as birds to not be sucked in.

Because anything you put there would restrict intake.
Holly Cr*p!
Good job Pilots and Crew.
I will now stop making jokes to myself about those safety instructions that one finds in the airline seat pouch.
The flight tracker tells the story...
