US Airways plane crashes in Hudson River

[zonelistener]

Bayou....any idea what town that is?

Disregard....a simple search of "ardis travel" tells me it is East Rutherford (better known to the rest of the world as the home of Giants Stadium and Byrne/Continental Airlines/IZOD Arena).

Weird to see an A320 rolling down the street. They JUST clear the power lines.

Seeing them pictures of the plane going down the road reminds me of when we moved one of our Concordes many years ago up to Scotland.

It could no longer fly, so it went out of Heathrow on the back of a truck on a journey by road to the river, where it was loaded on a barge, sailed down the Thames and out to sea up to Scotland

Same thing happened in NY when we flew one over there, and it was loaded up taken to the Hudson to sail over to the Intrepid, where is now on display I miss my girls

There is a programme about this on Chanel 4 in the Uk tonight at 10, so I will be watching that. That captain is a bloody hero!
