Reports are saying that the pilot hit a flock of geese during takeoff and it messed everything up. He was able to land the plane in the river, rather than risk crashing in the city. Pilot deserves an award.

Wow, that Pilot deserves a winning lotto ticket and a lot of credit. That's great that everyone seemingly survived.

I've never heard of something like this.

155 out of 155 alive including his own skin.

Pretty good reward if you ask me.

That's not an easy thing to do by any means. One wing touches first that's the end of it.

I was on the phone and couldn't figure out why everyone was looking out the window. by the time I got off, it had floated south.
