I'm on 31st and 9th and I can't see it from the 18th floor roof of my building!

I got my brand new camera with me too!

It is still floating down it seems.
They are holding it afloat as I guess the NTSB is not going to let that plane go down only to have to pull it out later.
It seems it is being towed to a spot it can be recovered.

Yea I've had a bird go through the engine of my helicopter before. It really messes up your compressor blades. No compressed air no engine. Glad everyone is ok. Airbus is know for their ability to glide and make good emergency landings.

Well, there is our answer. Interesting those small things can bring a big "bird" down.

Thanks.
