Amazing All Around

US Airways plane crash in Hudson River, originally uploaded by mattsnod.

It is awesome that everyone on the plane lived. The folks on flight 1549 were lucky to have a great pilot. He knew what to do.

Update: People are calling it a miracle. It really is not a miracle so much as a testament to the skills of good union workers. As Emptywheel says in her post every one involved was a good union worker. Pilot, Flight Attendants, Ferry boat captains and crew, police and fire fighters. All skilled union workers.
