Rare Photos Pulling US Airways Plane Out Of Hudson

"Note that only one engine was sheared off, not both... And considering that landing in water is like landing on concrete, not a whole lotta damage to the Airbus fuselage... Musta been one great spash landing.

These photos were taken by the crane operator lifing the Airbus out of the Hudson River . He's a friend of my buddy Tommy, a fellow member of the CG Aux. .. They lifted the airliner out of the Hudson yesterday... It's now bein' looked at right here in the port of Jersey City."

    The pilot deserves the "Medal of Freedom" or some such medal from our new President. What a landing he made. But should be no big suprise I guess. After all he was military pilot for a few years.

    It looks like he took a few geese on the nose, too.
