A US Airways plane with 151 people on board crashed into the Hudson River on the west side of Manhattan Thursday afternoon, sending passengers fleeing for safety in the frigid waters and startling thousands of New Yorkers.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said all passengers were rescued safely from the crash.

Government officials said the plane had hit a flock of birds that disabled two engines. Terrorism was not believed to be a factor.

According to Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown, the US Airways Flight 1549 had taken off from LaGuardia Airport enroute to Charlotte, N.C.

Bill White, president of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on the West Side, said one of the museum's employees saw the plane struggling over the Hudson just north of the museum and thought it was having engine problems.

The plane crashed between 3:44 and 3:48 p.m., federal aviation officials said.

Employees rushed onto the flight desk and saw ferry boats and other harbor crafts quickly converge around the partially submerged aircraft and passengers wearing yellow life vests sitting in life rafts. He said there was no sign of fatalities.

The crash quickly drew at least six rescue boats. The jet is slowly sinking into the river but its nose is still visible above the water as of 4:15 p.m.

New York City firefighters and other rescue workers are on the scene; it was not immediately clear if there were injuries. CNN is quoting a passenger that there were no fatalities. The plane carried 146 passengers and a crew of 5.

"I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And, splash, it hit the water," said witness Barbara Sambriski, a researcher at The Associated Press.

The plane was submerged in the icy waters up to the windows, and rescue crews had opened the door and were pulling passengers in yellow life vests from the plane.

The plane was floating on the river near the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum off 52nd Street.

"I saw what appeared to be a tail fin of a plane sticking out of the water," said Erica Schietinger, whose office windows at Chelsea Piers look out over the Hudson.

"Wow, thank the Lord and thank the pilot," said Alberto Panero, a passenger quoted on CNN. "I can't believe he managed to land the plane safely."

US Airways officials says anyone with family on board the flight should call 1-800-679-8215.

everyone's got out ALIVE!! the pilot = hero!

Tegs4tugs · 01-15-2009, 05:35 PM

That was a good save and even better that they landed on water and not in the city.

itsbrokeagain · 01-15-2009, 06:07 PM

yeah that pilot had a good set of steel ones there......you set that plane down at the wrong speed, or just slightly off the wrong angle, and it will fold up on you and head straight to the bottom with everyone on board.

Thats good tho that everyone got out...
