A US airway airbus went down in the Hudson river with 127 passengers on board. The pilot landed the plane in the water without submerging it.

All of the passengers were able to escape safely to life rafts. Passengers on board reported hearing a loud bang and smoke filled the fuselage.

Witnesses saw the plane go into the water shortly after it took off from LaGuardia. Much of the plane is still above the water but it is starting to go under.
