...Prestige and Mobility’s future is unclear. When we first started writing for FM, we had a list of demands. Although we still haven’t received our secretaries, our sexy secretaries, or our sexetaries, we did get the glass-bottomed hot-air balloon, the collected works of Afroman, and a commemorative photo with Registrar Barry S.

By 4 p.m., the plane had sunk into the frigid waters. MSNBC reported that the pilot had radioed air-traffic controllers shortly after takeoff to say that the plane had collided with a flock of geese. Losing altitude, the pilot reportedly opted for a water landing. A survivor told reporters that he was sitting next to the wing when the engine exploded and the pilot announced, "Brace yourself.

...accident appears to have had a much better outcome than many similar incidents in U.S. aviation history. In January 1982, an Air Florida flight crashed into the Potomac in Washington. That plane was not fully de-iced on a 24°F day; only five people survived the accident, in part because it took a while for rescue vehicles to get to the plane in the cold water...
