A US Airways plane has landed in the Hudson. I can see it from my building.

The ferries have circled to help, there are tiny specks that look like they’re standing on the water, and the sound of sirens has drowned out every other sound in the city.

If what we’re hearing is true, and the pilot landed in the water after his engines died, that’s the best fucking plane landing in the world ever. I mean, people are walking away from an emergency water landing.

ETA: And it’s over. That was the fastest, most organized emergency response ever, you guys.
