So where's - is it Peterborough from you? They hit that flock (apparently), and the pilot asked for it, or he saw it and asked what's that? ...and he was told Peterborough...so he said he wanted it. But then plan B, got a good airspeed and stretched his glide, man. :)

Exactly! I was on the bus today with someone who witnessed the entire thing, he said that it was "movie perfect landing", the pilot kept the nose up the entire time.

Newark is right there and the airport is practically right pass the Bayonne/Newark bay... I think if this was a young pilot, he might have gone the Newark way and maybe even crashed right into the Elizabeth Exxon plant. This guy deserves an early retirement and a nice bonus.

From The Daily Mash(http://thedailymash.co.uk):

HUDSON CRASH LANDING STILL BETTER THAN HEATHROW

PASSENGERS on the plane which crash landed on the Hudson river last night insisted the terrifying experience was much better than Heathrow.

As the stricken US Airways jet drifted over the skyscrapers of Manhattan before ditching in the freezing water, dozens of frightened passengers thanked God they were not arriving in London.

Tom Logan, a New York businessman, said: "As someone who has flown into Heathrow twice in my life, today's experience was like having a long, soapy shower with Heidi Klum.

"I hear they're planning a third runway at Heathrow. They should build a large moat instead. It would improve the experience immeasurably."

Kathy Cook, a sales assistant from New Jersey, said: "I looked out the window and saw the water getting closer and closer. I thought of my children, my husband, all the things I've never done and then I thought, 'oh well, at least it's not Heathrow'."

She added: "Minutes later we were all squeezed onto the wing in the freezing cold waiting to be rescued and it occurred to me that this was actually much less crowded than Heathrow and with better facilities."

Aviation experts said the pilot, Chesley Sullenberger, was a hero for guiding the plane to a safe landing and saving the 155 passengers from a Heathrow-like nightmare.

Sullenberger said: "I kept saying to myself 'come on Ches, make it better than Heathrow. Just make it better than Heathrow'."

A US Airways spokesman said the passengers should receive their luggage within 48 hours, adding: "It's not as if the plane has been anywhere near Heathrow. It's just partially submerged in the Hudson river."
