Default Some plane just crashed in New York!

A plane just apparently crashed in New York, it landed in the Hudson, a US Airways plane that's supposedly a big bore commuter. The plane is sinking and there are people around it in the water in life jackets. There are a lot of ferries around it picking them up.

Apparently it went down on takeoff and is an Airbus A320. US Airways flight 1539 in route to La Guardia went down right after takeoff on the west side of Manhatten roughly around 42nd street.

---Yahoo news---

NEW YORK – A US Airways plane has crashed into the Hudson River, sending passengers fleeing for safety in the frigid waters. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown says the US Airways Flight 1549 had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport enroute to Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday when the crash occured.

Brown says the plane, an Airbus 320, may have been hit by birds.

New York City firefighters are responding to the crash. It was not immediately clear if there were injuries.

Witness Barbara Sambriski, a researcher at The Associated Press, said, "I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And, splash, it hit the water."

That makes for sense. The pilot did his job and landed in the water rather than on land and endanger hundreds if not thousands more people.
