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.
Thats some scary S**T – Im glad the pilot knew what to do and everyone got out OK…..my biggest fear is death by drowning or freaking in a plane!
All of the passengers were able to escape safely to life rafts.

Nobody but God.
My lawd that is my biggest fear. I was a frequent plane user until my YT Mother in law got out of hand with my two babies and I’d always think as the plane is taking off lawd what would happen if this thing went down with me and my babies… I pray they are okay.
Happy to hear that everyone survived.
That’s why I hate flying because they don’t have a better escape so many thousands of feet in the air.
I think they should invent some kind of parachutes for passengers.
But this is a really good story. Praise God, they are safe.
First let me say. THANK YOU GOD THAT THERE ARE SURVIVORS… please don’t let this mess up the traffic.
Watching this on cnn now. Whooo I’m supposed to be on a plane for about 20 hours tomorrow, this just makes me want a xanax.
20 hours, goodness
To God be the Glory ….
Im here in NY and the word is that everyone got off the plane safetly and there are no major injuries. The main problem is the icey cold water and the air, where it is 20 degrees out today. There were 146 passengers and 5 crew members on board.
Thank God everyone is ok. Kudos to the pilot! I hope it mechanical and not sabbotage. You know Osama is mad at us right now.
I just read that birds got caught in the engine…don’t know how true that is.
This proves God is good.
@ iscream – that was funny but true. You know most people are thinking it but won’t say it.

Thank God they are ALL okay…but laugh my ass off at your comment!! I just pictured everyone on board with a parachute on…lmao Can you picture thugs trying to be all hard in a parachute. I am a NY’er… When 911 hit, my boyfriend at the time was able to get right back on the Staten Island ferry before they shut it down…He was like how EVERYONE was on there wearing a life jacket!! He was like he was too cool to wear one!! But he held it instead just to be on the safe side! lol I guess I wasn’t with him for his brains!!
Nothin’ but the blood, thank you Jesus!
I cant EVEN imagine hearing the words “prepare for impact”, seeing nothing but water below me, and I cant swim.
Whoo, noooo!! Due to my fear of flying, that alone would have killed me.
Whoooooo what a blessing, although this is definitely something I dont want to see. I’m getting on a plane tomorrow.
Everytime, I get on a plane, I lay hands on it. I ask God to bless the plane, the pilot and to please make certain that all of it’s passengers get to their destination safely.
I love to travel but hate being in the air. The last time i flew there was lots of turbulance and the plane kept dropping a little. I was sick by the time we landed.
Candycane and KaraZ…
Wishing you a safe flight.
Praise God! They all survived!
It’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s BIRTHDAY, today!
There was definitely a “Dr” in the house..
Today was TRULY a ‘miracle’
Happy Birthday Dr. King..
But ALL praisies be to God!
Thank God! This is a blessing. I hate flying but do it for the convinence. I applaud the pilot for “landing” that plane. This is a miracle. Everybody lived. Just make you count your blessings!
I have to fly tomorrow as well and I started praying for traveling mercy last week. Lawd have mercy! Thank God for FAVOR! God is Good all the time and all the time God is Good!
TRULY A MIRACLE!!!
As cold as it was today, i’m sure as happy as they were to be alive, they must of been cold. Most of them had no shoes, alot of them had no jacket……it was cold. But God is good, and I’m sure they know how lucky they are.
Hello All. So many prayers went up at once from that plane that God could not help but hear and respond. God is indeed alive and well. On another note, I’m off til next Thurs, thank you Jesus. Have a glorious day all and KEEP HOPE ALIVE!
PA, have a great time off.
