I'm sure most of you already heard about the US Airways Flight 1549 regarding the emergency landing yesterday afternoon. Actually, I first heard the news from my dear hubby when he came home from work yesterday. He told me to turn on the TV to watch the news. US Airways plane crash lands in New York City's Hudson River. It was such a relief to know that everyone survives in the said incident. It happened after a flock of birds apparently struck its engines causing the emergency landing. But all 155 (150 passengers, 2 pilots, and 3 flight attendants) people on board are thought to have survived. Passengers were sent fleeing into the icy, 35-degree waters when the Airbus 320 went down near 48th Street in Manhattan shortly after taking off from LaGuardia Airport.
