[IzzyEng4 427]

Anyone know what New Jersey units are working as well?

[citystation1848 15]

It's amazing how they believe a bird caused it!

Kudos shmudos....he never went down to take pics...or so it seems.

You would be surprised about what a bird flying through a jet engine can do. The military has had a lot of incidents over the years like this.

[TAPSJ 30]

Just heard on WCBS 2 News that Transcare Ambulance is on the scene. Also, mutiple EMS and Firefighters on scene.

When They Said "Flock of Seagulls" I was thinking of the 80's hair band!

Any westchester units responding?

[Oswegowind 17]

Not needed...pretty controlled incident.

[Guest paramedico987]

Betcha that plane's not even totaled.... just gotta replace the upholstery and what-not. Does "carfax" do planes?

[JackEMT 77]

I am hoping the initial news is correct that everyone is out and safe.

But looking at this photo, does the guy in the middle have his carry-on luggage (garment bag) on his shoulder?

[CPAGE 2]

You have to give the pilot alot of credit he did a great job with the landing in the water and also to get it to the water and not in to the city or a town in NJ. My hat is over to the NY waterways crews also great job.

And the song was IRAN........

Why would Westchester respond?

[X2321 133]

News reports say that the plane hit some birds. I guess Fowl play is suspected.

[Guest]

Unbelievable.

Your plane crashes, you walk off with no injuries with your carry on luggage!

The odds of such a landing are so small. he had to slow the plane until it pretty much was on the verge of stalling, while making sure he kept the plane at a belly landing angle!

And as always, R-1 saving the day!

Props to FDNY, NYPD, PAPD Coast Guard, NY Waterways and Circle Lines.

The pilot gets major kudos for the landing.

From the news reports, they had little or no power as they turned over the Hudson. None the less, the pilot and crew executed major skills to get the plane down in one piece and everyone out safe.

I heard on the news the plane is near shore down by Battery Park, wow!

Unbelievable.

Run, Runaway was a band called Slade. Had an awesome beginning to it. I Ran was Flock.

Anyway, like I said the day that plane made the Emergency Landing at LAX a few years back, THAT'S the guy I want flying my plane!!!!

Fox was reporting the pilot was ex-USAF. His skills today were nothing short of incredible. Thank god no one got killed today.
