US Airways Jetliner Plunges Into the Hudson River!

A US Airways jetliner with 155 people aboard lost power in both engines, possibly from striking birds, after taking off from La Guardia Airport yesterday afternoon. Everyone aboard was luckily rescued by ferries and emergency boats.  

What might have been a catastrophe was averted by the pilot's quick thinking and sharp maneuvers. Below is video of the event... it is truly amazing that everyone was able to escape successfully!
