Here is a series of photos lifting the US Airways Airbus from the Hudson
River.
Note that only one engine was sheered off, not both. And considering that
landing in water is like landing on concrete, not a whole lotta damage to
the Airbus fuselage. Musta been one great spash landing.
These photos were taken by the crane operator lifing the Airbus out of the
Hudson River. He's a friend of a local EAA members buddy Tommy, a fellow member of the CG Aux. They lifted the airliner out of the Hudson yesterday (think 01-23-09). It's now bein' looked at right here in the port of Jersey City .
