US Airways Totally Botches Flight #1549 Status After Crash!
-
A US Airways jet with 155 people on board ditched in the frigid Hudson River off Manhattan after apparently hitting a flock of geese on Thursday and officials said everyone was rescued.
“We’ve had a miracle on the Hudson,” New York Gov. David Paterson told a news conference, calling the pilot a hero for landing the Airbus A320 plane in the fast-moving river.
US Airways listed the flight status on their website immediately after the crash of Flighjt #1549 as “BUOYANT“. US Airways Officials have refused to comment. Families of the crash survivors are outraged!
“The pilot somehow, without any engines, was able to land this plane … without any serious injuries,” Paterson said.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg lauded the pilot for ensuring all those on board, including a baby, were safe.
“The pilot did a masterful job of landing the plane in the river and then making sure that everybody got out,” Bloomberg said, noting that the pilot was calm enough to walk through the plane twice after landing to ensure everyone was out.
The pilot of Flight 1549 was Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger of Danville, California, according to his wife who was reached by telephone by Reuters. Sullenberger is a former Air Force fighter pilot with 40 years flying experience, according to the website of a safety company he founded.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating reports the plane hit a flock of birds after taking off from New York’s LaGuardia airport.
