I think I gave myself a migraine trying to find it. But I think I finally did.
Aren't most underwing? And why does this make the difference?

Not the right day to read about a plane crash involving the mention of New York. Glad it's a totally different flight and no fatalities.
If that is the case, let me be the first to say...
I hope Bono is OK.
I KNEW I would find this in the thread. Classic!
Something to think about, though....here is a picture of an A320 not in the water:
Thank goodness everyone is (apparently) okay. The US has gone quite some time without a commercial plane crash.
I hate planes.
I'm glad no one was hurt. I work for US Airways, but I work in Philly.
Like Coolian said, non-fatal. The last fatal air incident in the US was in August 2006 (so, 28 months). It truly has been an amazing time for airline safety.
How many times have you heard about a fatal accident on the roads you drive daily in the last 28 months?

Could you avoid me the migraine and help me find the plane?

I still can't find it.
I'm having post-traumatic stress just seeing those unbelievable pics. I fly on A320s regularly (last time for LaGuardia was Sept) and I have an intense bridge phobia because my worst nightmare is going off a bridge or road into the water...sinking...in a car...in frigid water.

And I fully admit my lack of knowlege of physics or anything else that would explain this, but was anyone else stunned to see how long that thing floated? I guess sometimes I look at giant tankers on the water and are amazed that they float as well. ... and also amazed that the big hunk of steel and metal can FLY.
I used to live where I could walk just 3 blocks and see the Hudson River heading up past the Bronx and into Lower New York State (very beautiful area by the river) .

Are you my twin? Truly, these are my biggest phobias. When I was kid driving with my family across the James River Bridge would leave me practically debilitated. I couldn't even look out the window. I am generally very calm in a crisis and I can only hope I'd be as courageous and strong as these passengers. I have absolutely no fears around flying, though.

The pilot deserves free U2 tickets for life!
The pilot, the crew, the FDNY, the police and the shuttle boat captains all did a amazing job. Heroes all!
Glad everyone made it out alive.
HOW did I know you would come in here and defend planes. lol.
