U.S. Airways Flight 1549 Crashes into Hudson River

U.S. Airways flight 1549 has crashed into the Hudson River in New York shortly after taking off from LaGuardia Airport in New York en route to Charlotte, N.C.

Early reports have suggested there were 146 passengers on board the U.S. Airways commuter jet when it went into the Hudson River with wings level. While there has been no official word on what brought the twin-engine jet down there is speculation that a flock of geese may have been involved.

Rescue workers and the New York Port Authority are currently surrounding the sinking jet and gathering passengers, many of whom have been standing the on the wings of the plane. Divers have been sent into the water as well.

Temperatures in New York are currently 21-degrees making the turbulent water of the Hudson River all the more dangerous.
