Video: 'Miracle of the Hudson Plane Crash'

(Thursday, January 15, 2009, 3:31 p.m. EST) — US Airways Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and First officer Jeffrey Skiles ditched their Airbus Airbus A320-214 in the Hudson River today between West 48th Street in Manhattan and Weehawken, N.J. after a flock of Canada geese just northeast of the George Washington Bridge disabled both engines.

All 155 people aboard were rescued by nearby boats and there were few serious injuries.

The accident came to be known as the “Miracle on the Hudson,” and a National Transportation Safety Board official described it as “the most successful ditching in aviation history.”
