unbelievable how the plane didnt explode.

great job by the pilot to gracefully bring the plane down... i wonder what the reason was; must be a mechanical failure.

plane is "floating" so it might be still pressurized so they cant open the door. it doesnt seem like anyone was pulled out of the plane.

apparently this is one of the deepest areas of the Hudson; and the water must be freezing. it must feel like a fridge inside...
