Plane Crashes Into Hudson River

January 15th, 2009. Filed under: Thursday's Travels.

I just received a breaking news alert from The New York Times that a USAirways plane carrying 146 passengers and 5 crew members is now mostly submerged in the Hudson River after a failed attempt to return to the airport.  It is believed that the plane may have hit a flock of birds.  Rescues are in process right now.  You can read more about the crash here.

The Washington Post has now picked up the story and you can read more and see a video there.
