All Survived

It looks like all of the passengers and crew got off safely from the plane that crashed into the Hudson River after hitting a flock of geese. I still feel awful for them, though. From the pictures and clips I've seen, it looks like they weren't allowed to bring their coats on the life rafts, and its as bitter freezing there as it is here.

It looks like even the plane itself might be okay. I really hope the airline gets the passengers' purses and coats and things back to them ASAP. How terrible to be stranded in some city with no ID or wallet or even coat.

They are very lucky that the plane didn't hit a solid object, and that it landed in a river plied by lots of commuter ferry boats.

Speeding up the rescue, and minimizing weight on the boats, may have been the reasons the passengers couldn't bring their coats with them.
