    Hudson River aircraft recovery.

    The US Air Airbus(!!!), being recovered from alongside one of the piers.

    As you can see, the shear bolts on the left hand engine worked as intended and the engine detached. Why the RH engine is still attached will be determined during investigations.

    Thought that you all might like to see the recovery op's.

    Some bog and some fresh paint and they will sell that to Quantas as 'near new - one careful owner'

    Did you see they have found the cause of the crash?

    Pretty impressive bit of flying all right.

    Give Skiddy a call - that could be his next project. A bit of a do-up.

    I'm actually surprised that it sank. Anyone know how long did it take before it went under?
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Its actually an A320, similar to the Air NZ one that crashed off the coast of France.

    I think it was there for a wee while after before it went under completely. The whole saga from bird strike to being in the river took just over 5minutes.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Loving your avatar Swoop!
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
