Airbus Ditches in Hudson River
After apparently striking some birds and losing all thrust in both engines, the pilot, Sully Sullenberger, landed his Airbus airliner full of people and fuel in the Hudson River right in New York City approximately due 
west of Times Square. It gradually drifted downstream near to where the Twin Towers used to be.
How wonderful people can behave sometimes still amazes me.
This is not April of 1912 when the Titanic sank.-- In the self centered “me first” 21st century, the male passengers on the downed airliner apparently insisted that all the women and children exit first when the rescue boats began to arrive.
After all passengers were rescued the pilot insisted on walking the length of the airplane twice to make absolutely certain that no passengers were still on board.
