  1. US Air Salvage-Miracle on the Hudson -photos Some interesting pictures of the Heavy Lift operation by Weeks Marine. Thought you might find these interesting.

It's now being looked at right here in the port of Jersey City ... bb Music Albert Hammond Read the first page Click and then watch the rest Set to Powerpoint by Frank Vader

  2. Notice the Ice in the water. Submerged weight 39 500 kg + weight of the water? Weight above water approx 39.500 kg. Look at the size of those strops.

  3. Note that only one engine was sheered off, not both... And considering that landing in water is like landing on concrete, not a whole lotta damage to the Airbus fuselage... Musta been one great spash landing.
