did you take any cool pics??? I was reading that on the news today, freaking nuts! Although it would be pretty cool to survive a plane crash into the hudson river, i'm sure it wasn't fun, jumping into those freezing water temps!

From listening to the survivor testimonies on CNN lastnight, I think only a couple of people even got wet. Help was there so fast that most of them were getting right off the plane into a raft. Thats pretty freakin amazing.

20 people that work for the same company here in Charlotte that I do were on the aircraft. I know 2 of them. One guy called his wife from his cell phone as they were going down.

Kudos to the pilot...crew and for the overall rescue effort.

Bullshit. Cell phones and aircraft navaids operation on completely different frequencies.

"And in further news, I doubt it plus if the guy "thought" he was about to die he probably didn't really give a f*ck at that moment.
