    That is seriously intense. It's crazy to see the cabin just floating in the water like that. Glad to see your pal is ok.

    well I'm not sure the passengers should, or would want to, pay for the experience :D but I agree SOMEBODY should sort this guy out... what a landing, eh?

    The airline OWES the pilot/co-pilot a nice raise and bonus. I'd imagine though ,that the plane will be stripped of it's skin and thoroughly checked for stress fractures.

    One of the news website had a similar picture taken a bit earlier.....the plane was little higher in the water at that point.....BTW, yes...that is a cool pic. 8-)

    In fact, your friend's picture was just on msn.com.

    You know, you'd like to think you could keep your composure in a situation like that, when the water level starts to rise to your window, but i have a feeling I would turn into George Costanza and start stepping on people to get to the exit.

    I just add that to list of why I don't like to fly. Last time I was in a plane we went sideways in the air for what felt like a minute but more likley a few seconds but that scared the hell out of me. When we landed, everyone was clapping and what not. I hate flying.

    or they will just dry it off replace some 30 weight ball bearings maybe add about 10 quarts of antifreeze, preferably Prestone. No, make that Quaker State.

    That pilot is a true hero.

    Landing a plane of that size, going 130 mph, on water, without any engines is truly amazing!

    I just read an article earlier about how The US airlines haven't had a single death for 2 years. Were there any deaths?

    Nope. There was even an infant onboard. Everyone survived.
