US Airways Plane Crash in Hudson River

[akshatp]

Breaking news on ABCNY

Not many details yet, ferries are heading to the crash scene for a possible rescue of survivor. Plane seems to be intact but sinking fast.

It is VERY VERY cold out here today and can imagine how cold the water is.

No details on injuries/survivors yet, but its being reported there were 135 on board

Update: Plane is almost fully submerged now except for the rear tail wing. Its an A320 Airbus

The plane appears to be in one piece and passengers are being evaucated by rescue teams.

Officials tell CBS 2 the airplane is Flight 1549, an Airbus 380 that took off from La Guardia Aiport.

The plane is floating upright in the water near the USS Intrepid.

Airbus 380

Isn't that like the new big aircraft?

I didn't think anyone had it except Singapore.

Actually, it seems it's not all that bad. Plane's upright, floating, lots of ships nearby. It's probably the best possible plane crash you could imagine.

We don't have a380 fly into LGA. I'm guessing it's a E190/E170 or A319

It definitely is not an A380.

Its a smaller plane...

Not really. 43 degree waters = hypothermia within minutes. And outside air temps are below 20

 

[akshatp]

The plane seems to be almost fully submerged now save for the rear tail wing

 

[FoBoT]

yeah, reuters says it is a "small plane" , that isn't a A380

 

[ViviTheMage]

A330 are huge, that thing is not a A380...

 

[TangoJuliet]

CNN is saying it's a A320. That's a pretty big plane (for us).

 

[LegendKiller]

It's an A320, 135ppl. It appears very intact and perhaps even floating in once piece. Lotsa sirens in NYC.

It's fricking cold here now.

 

[LS21]

reports say birds downed the plane...

[iamwiz82]

It's not an A380. Also, just a few days ago marked 2 years without a death on a US carrier.

 

[Aimster]

Look at all those boats coming to help. God Bless the U.S.
Any other country and they'd prob just watch. Seriously

 

[ViviTheMage]

pilot hit a flock of geese???? haha
