Photo of the Day (1/15/09)
From our Gadling group at Flickr comes this shot taken by olyman almost exactly where the USAirways flight 1549 ditched today. I've always wanted to kayak around Manhattan, and I probably would have discovered this picture eventually, but with the exciting news that everyone appears to have survived the ditching of the A320 in the Hudson River, I wondered if there was a picture in the Gadling group taken from a a similar vantage point.
Sure enough, this looks like it was taken around the same spot, albeit at a much warmer time of the year.
My hat's off to the flight attendants and pilots of USAirways 1549.

i just want to say hats off and a million thank you's to the pilot and crew staff of this plane. i heard a new york hip hop station talking about the details of this crash and how many people are happy yet there are some that are thinking conspiracy theory. i just want to say that this just encourages me to fly even more because the staff and crew really are as capable....according to the radio station-this pilot had to think fast, all within a minute and a half of landing the plane on the hudson river. this man deserves accolades for being honest as well but what amazes me is the people running up and down the aisles??? anyhow, this story has made my day.
