Miraculous escape from Hudson River plane crash

I've just been watching the escape of passengers from a downed US Airways jet en route from La Guardia to Charlotte, North Carolina. All passengers got off. The pilot did a fantastic job by landing the jet in a perfect way.

The first thing you need in air travel is an unflappable pilot of the Lloyd Bridges type. Assuming that an incident is not terrorist related, which this thankfully was not, you put all your trust in the pilot and the crew. They did well!

At about the two minute mark you can see US Air Flight 1549 skid into the Hudson. Then, you can see the passengers climb out onto the wings. This video is 10 minutes long. Actual video of Flight 1549 skidding into the Hudson.
