NEW YORK – A US Airways plane has crashed into the Hudson River, sending passengers fleeing for safety in the frigid waters. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown says the US Airways Flight 1549 had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport enroute to Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday when the crash occured.
Brown says the plane, an Airbus 320, may have been hit by birds.
New York City firefighters are responding to the crash. It was not immediately clear if there were injuries.
Witness Barbara Sambriski, a researcher at The Associated Press, said, "I just thought, 'Why is it so low?' And, splash, it hit the water."

That makes for sense. The pilot did his job and landed in the water rather than on land and endanger hundreds if not thousands more people.
