"Miracle on the Hudson" plane up for auction
The plane that Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger landed safely in the Hudson River just over a year ago is going up for auction. Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services is accepting bids on the plane, which is described as "having severe water damage throughout the airframe and impact damage to its underside" according to USA Today, though March 27. Unfortunately, as celeb-gossip site TMZ points out, the survivors of the harrowing water landing won't be able to take home a memento from the plane. The plane is being auctioned off in its entirety so those hoping to snag just a small piece cannot do so. Looks like they'll have only their memories. The survivors recently got together on the anniversary of the crash landing and toasted with champagne and Grey Goose vodka (a nod to the flock of birds that downed the plane) at the moment of impact.

They are auctioning it off without the engines.
Captain Sullenberger should buy it.
He don't need no pussy engines to fly a plane.
