Jenny, can you tell where in the Hudson it is? I leave work in 1/2 hour and have to cross the Hudson to get home (via Lincoln Tunnel) and am just curious if it's close enough to where it will be jammed with emergency crews. None of the websites are giving any locations.

He he he. :lol:

It's hard to say - they're focused solely on the water and the ferries surrounding it - still looking.....

Wow.
It's almost completely submerged.

 

[mpoppins76]

Wow.
It's almost completely submerged.

Are they still getting people out???

 

[PotteryGal]

Wow.
It's almost completely submerged.

I'm amazed any of it is showing, they're saying it's the deepest part of the Hudson. Supposedly a bird struck the plane as they were taking off from LaGuardia to Charlotte.

Sorry, birds sucked into the engine....

First responders reported to the 42nd St pier.
But they're also saying the plane is moving in the river as they're getting people off.
They just said everyone has been rescued.

Wow...just wow.

Oh thank goodness!!!

Hmmm, Lincoln Tunnel is right at 42nd Street. Oh well, I'll get home eventually.

They're talking to a passenger right now - he says he believes everyone has gotten off. Thank God!

I imagine the entire area will be a mess for sometime.
They're saying that birds were sucked into an engine, possibly both, and the pilot came in over the river from Jersey and landed in the river. This could have been a much bigger catstrophe.

We just switched to CNN and they just showed a great shot of passengers standing on a wing of the plane in the river. The wing is submerged and they appear to be standing on water. Can you imagine how cold that must be?

 

[SamnDawn060304]

Oh my this just gives me cold chills. Thank God everyone is ok.

Steph, they said the plane is really moving swiftly in the water.
From 50 something Street down into the 20s now.
The reporter says it's moving so fast she thinks it might be being towed.

I wondered if that were so, the way they were surrounded by boats.

 

[PotteryGal]

Y'know what's sad? When Steph first said something, my first thought was "not again" - I can't imagine what New Yorkers first thought.

We lost all sense of security that day. I don't imagine we'll ever get it back.
