Truly a miracle they where able to rescue all of them passengers in a fast and efficient manner without anyone dying from hypothermia. Also an incredible act by the crew to land that plane and it not breaking apart.

Yeah the more details that come out, it sure does look like a miracle, and how smoothly they rescued everyone, not sure it could have been a more perfect rescue.

I cannot imagine being on that plane and seeing the water getting closer and closer. Sometimes things just come together and today was one of them days. Sure are alot of happy families right now.

Wonder what kind of money these passengers will get?

This is one of the rare times everyone survives but surely they will be compensated, how do you put a price on this experience?

One guy got interviewed on channel 10 news and he said he was thankful for his life but I had to laugh. He said he was on his way to a golf outing in the carolina's and the news guy said "well I guess your sticks are at the bottom of the hudson" and then guy responded "I hope they find them because they were a good set of sticks".
