I did see the news. I saw no ice on the river.  They said all made it out successfully.
Joyce, I am guessing he avoided the city?   Very fortunate. O0

It's not so hard to avoid the city...all the airports are on the outskirts/suburbs, not in the city....and rarely does the river freeze.
Maybe just around the edges at the shorelines if we have a cold spell, Canadian blast...damn those Canadians!  ;)

They hit a flock of Canadian Geese and blew out 2 engines. Damn those Candians again!  ;) ;)
You'd think in the 21st century they could design an engine that can handle a goose strike. ::)
Dumb ass engine designers! >:(-

It was very smart of him to choose the river for a soft landing. SMART man!  O0

Exactly.  (8:-)
And it happens all the time, what is it going to take to get them to deal with the design problem?
A really bad fatal crash? Hasn't that already happened a few times due to birds?  ::)

 I think you are right. Men design everything, so you have to take the good with the bad I guess. Women just like to complain about everything. >:(-  No real good and bad there though.   {:-P;;  8)

The pilot is a former Airforce F-4 Fighter Pilot.
That experience no doubt helped him keep his cool and make the right decisions. 8)
