Seems like everyone did a great job all around, great job to all in the worst of circumstances !

Thankfully it seems everyone is ok !

Appears to be NON-terror related...but crazy no less.

A U.S. Airways airplane has crashed into the Hudson River, CBS 2 has learned. The plane appears to be in one piece and passengers are being evaucated by rescue teams.

Officials tell CBS 2 the airplane is Flight 1549, an Airbus a320 that took off from La Guardia Aiport and headed to Charlotte, N.C. There are reports that there were about 60 people on board. The plane seats about 120 passengers. It went down around 3:30 p.m.

My wife works as a flight attendant on U.S. Airways and she kept getting phone calls all day from her family worrying about her. Luckily she had off today...
