Amazing save. This must be one of the millions of cases when the life vest comes in handy. ;)
That happened less than 1500 meters from my home. It was amazing that there as not serious loss of life/injury or property damage. A few small changes in the location or timing could have made it a major disaster.
Wow CPU!
Yes, definately a "Wow".
FYI: The pictures of the tall "apartment" buildings in some of the shots (starting in the fourth on on the linked images) are owned by Donald Trump.
September 2007, my wife and I were giving serious consideration to moving into that very building (but instead chose an 1880 "Brownstone" bacause it had much of the character, but was also fully modernized.
I heard that the pilot was the ONLY one to complete a succeful DITCH. Ever.
Expect him to join the new president shortly after the swearing in ceremony tomorrow
