Pretty intense stuff especially when the job is confirmed and they declare a "10-60" Major Incident. You can imagine what
is going through the minds of all the first responders upon hearing of a commercial jetliner in the water. I thought the
Manhattan FD dispatcher did a very good job and you can also hear the Bronx dispatcher in the background also receiving
calls.
The Aircraft will be going to Weeks Marine on Linden Ave in Jersey City. Other recoveries have been brought there. From there would be anyone's guess.
You beat me to it Bill! Wow, what a difference a day makes, it was almost toasty warm today compared to Saturday! I was disappointed that they lifted the jet last night after we waited all day, but when I heard it was still at Battery Park City, I had to take a run in.

Yes. Apparently broke off on impact. They found it last night I think, using sonar. It was in the drink basically where N106US came to rest.Quote:

Here are some shots I got. So many trucks, trees and people in the way, I only had my short lens.

Bonus! Some other vehicles you don't normally find on the river: about 40 recently retired subway cars on their way to being reefed on the bottom of the Atlantic.

Sunday evening update:
* The barge carrying the plane has completed its journey across the river to Jersey City.
* NYPD believes it has located the missing left engine via sonar, but will not send divers down there to verify until Tuesday due to the ice in the river.
* Capt. Sullenberger will not appear on the Today show Monday morning as originally planned after being asked by the pilot's union to wait.
* There is word that Capt. Sullenberger and his family have been invited to the inauguration on Tuesday.
I think Airbus wants it for long term examination and to avoid parts being used.Quote:

It’s not up to Airbus. Once the insurance company determines the damages, and I'm sure it’s a total loss as salt water has a habit of destroying anything it touches, the insurance company will own the plane. After that what happens to it is anyone’s guess. I'm sure if Airbus wants the plane something will be worked out.Quote:

Well the first real day of business since that accident and figure a day to be relieved...isn't until Tuesday.Quote:

Being grateful for life only lasts so long...
They should sue Canada... a squadron of their geese flew into restricted airspace and did not file a flight plan.....Or maybe U.S. Air should give every passenger a Duck Dinner....think how one of those broken engines could be made into a roitissory with little effort! :borat: Just think, they would get a first class meal yet only paid for coach.
Perhaps even a free goose hunt in Ontario?? :lol:
All jokes aside though, I really hope nobody sues. I mean, I know that's like asking lead to float (no pun intended), but they all did live! I agree with whoever it was who said that if any money is gained from legal action against either U.S. Airways or Airbus, it should all be put into a college fund for the crew's families. I mean...c'mon...they did kind of earn it on this one!
I think the TSA/Customs should be to blame for this incident.. Everyone is saying Canadian geese... but did anyone think to check their passports??
