Some info here, http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?se...cal&id=6606410 atleast they got the a/c type right by the looks of things! |

looks like something from a movie, I don't mean to laugh at the pics but it just looks quite funny, little a/c nose popping out of the water like that, it could almost be a scene from a Bond film!

Some reports say that it's possibly a multiple strike of geese, and that smoke was seen coming out of the right engine.
Congrats to the pilot and crew for the apparent safe ditching, but also hats off to Airbus; the aircraft did what it was designed to do in the event of a ditching, possibly resulting in a fatally free crash. |

Judging by the ABC news film clip they are towing the plane down the river.... I assume this would to to assist in keeping it afloat and not let it sink?
