Close Call in Hudson River: Good Job, New York City!

Looks like the domestic airline biz can keep their two yrs. w/o a fatality record going, although just barely. No apparent loss of life, & big ups, props, etc., to the flight crew for an excellent water landing. (And to the birds that sacrificed themselves in a noble effort to stop humanity's destruction of the planet.)Note ferry in above photo. Per CNN, ferries in the area immediately made for the landing site, & started throwing life jackets, flotation devices, etc. to the evacuated passengers. P. S.: Temperature in the Big Apple at the time? 20°F!! Obviously above freezing in the Hudson, but Hokey Smokes!!
