Default Re: US Airways Flight Down In Hudson River...

The way they have it strapped and the size of the tug boat next to that plane, that thing is not going anywhere. That, coupled with the pilot's amazing job of gently laying it down on the river without damage to the fuselage appears to be the saving grace. They are saying he had no engines. He glided. Not sure how valid that is but that just makes it even more incredible they all survived.
