If this was Air Canada Regional (JAZZ), they wouldn't have had those nice little yellow inflatable life jackets.
I hope they take note.

"Jeff" on the news seems to be getting assaulted by the reporters:

"Jeff, spell your last name"
"Jeff, where are you from?  Conneticut.  WhaR are you doing here then?"
"Jeff, was the water cold?"
"Jeff, what is your favorite color?"


Reporters are morons.  The news is full of morons.  Apparently it was an Airbus A-737.  That's a new one....

In this case I wonder whether they even contacted NY Departure or were too busy.  Fly the plane first.

What irks me the most is Jeff, on his golfing trip is asked:

"Do you think the pilot did a good job landing and avoiding the buildings"?

His reply "I don't know. I can't say if he did or didn't"

sigh....

They need to get people that know something about aviation. Screens over the engines? One bird went through both engines? People are idiots for those comments!!!

From the looks of it and myself being an airline pilot, I would say the crew did an outstanding job. The aircraft came down intact and a lot if not all people are safe.

An AirBoeing, huh?   I'll bet folks in Washington are happy about that conglomerate.

I can't believe there is no feed for LGA.  The talking heads are total idiots.

[RandyWaldron]

Does anyone have or know where to find the recordings of AWE1549???

Thanks

Port Authority is reporting that there were no major injuries. Awesome job by the pilots and the cabin crew.

There is no feed for LGA at this time.  As far as we can determine we do not have any recordings of the incident., from any source.

Types the man who, as we all read, is scrambling to put together an LGA feed.

Amazing, truly amazing.  I love it when an aviation incident story ends this way.

Keith, if you're reading this, how far are you from Chelsea Peak? You're probably too far away from the city to have seen or heard this? My experience in the area only goes as far as EWR, so I'm not familiar. Also, isn't there a controller at N90 that frequents here? I can't remember. And which sector of N90 handles that area?

At least it's safe to say that an Airbus floats!
