All 155 passengers and crew of U.S. Airways flight 1549, which was forced to make an emergency water landing in the Hudson River on Jan. 15, survived - making it the rare accident that airlines and the NTSB might look forward to investigating. Water landings (attempts to bring an aircraft down in a controlled manner on water) and water crashes (which are anything but controlled) are somewhat of a mystery to the engineers who design, build and study aircraft safety features and procedures.

Then we go into the water and form a larger circle there - people are welcome to scream - and then it's a kind of open swim after that. For the past few years, the New York Aquarium has let us use their Education Hall as a clubhouse where we can change and have some tea afterward.
