Just an amazing story. Don't recall seeing Omni ever out at Sea-Tac.

Hope all is well everyone

Very cool. Lucky pilots

Tried to see Sully speak at the Museum of Flight in Seattle a few weeks ago. Standing room only and weren't letting anyone else in in accordance with fire code. It was amazing.

Using United name but Continental colors and livery....interesting site to see.

Congrats to the launch and takeoff; watching live in Seattle.

Three Boeing employees reported among the dead; the fourth in critical condition. Sad news.

Nationalities of those who died are five Turks and four Americans.

The Costner commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vAJox4Puaw

Cheese Factor: High

Four Americans among the dead...and Kevin Costner was about to film a series of commercials for Turkish Air....If only this had been done beforehand; Costner cures all.

Yahoo listed the three pilots of the plane, two of whom were killed.

1) Was there a standby pilot, i.e.the third?

2) Looking at the cockpit and relative lack of damage I assume if the cause of death was simply blunt force trauma in the impact.

Sorry if I missed this but was the Ditching mechanism/button/functionality engaged? Looks like there is no confirmation yet. Seems like the non-flying pilot would have had time to engage the button before impact no? I would assume it would be part of protocol..

Cable is apparently through the doors and attached to the tug keeping it afloat.

Local news says it was a LGA to SEA flight???

Reports are all got off and very minor injuries. Amazing.

Seems to be a remarkable job by the crew; fantastic.

Crazy to see if floating down the river.

Pretty dramatic video; plane seems to not be sinking, at least not quickly; this is deep water apparently. Coast guard dropping life jackets to passengers. A320.

On cnn now...

what's the latest with Andy Reid's delinquent sons?
