...coldest days of the year, a passenger jet carrying more than 150 people was forced to make a water landing in the frigid Hudson River. US Airways flight 1549, with 150 passengers and five crew members, crashed into waters just west of Manhattan after taking off from LaGuardia Airport en route to Charlotte, N.C. "I was driving down 72nd Street [on the west side of Manhattan], and I saw the plane falling, falling," one eyewitness, Spiro Ketahs, told TIME.

Perhaps a diet of strictly romcom fare is no healthier for movie stars than it is for audiences. Still, Hudson does win the bridal wars in one sense: when it comes to The Dress...
...Perhaps appropriately, the Normandie ended its days in New York. While being refitted as a troop ship in 1942, it caught fire, capsized and sank in the Hudson River at 47th Street. At war's end it was sold for scrap. But along with other reminders that the two great cities were once joined at the hip of all that was hip, the Normandie lives on in wood, silver and memory. Rivalries end, style endures...
