Time-Lapse Video Of US Airways Flight 1549 As It Is Struggling To Stay Afloat

US Airways flight 1549 was a passenger flight from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina, that, on January 15, 2009, was successfully ditched in the Hudson River adjacent to Manhattan six minutes after departing from LaGuardia Airport.

The Airbus A320 remained afloat, though partially submerged, and was quickly moored to a pier near the World Financial Center in Lower Manhattan.

Fascinating footage; corny commentary.

Angela, the music is from Transformers, 'Arrival to Earth' by Steve Jablonsky.

That's amazing! I never stopped to think about how they got it out of the river. Thanks! www.satisfiedsole.com
