These are some ****ing happy looking people. Some black guy was just dancing around.

Early reports seem to be saying everyone is ok

Sick landing job to keep the plane intact on the river.

IT looks like most people are ok.

Wow, that is frightening stuff

Also why is SF a faster source of news for me then major news outlets?

You know how they always say, "In the unlikely event of a water landing"? Well, is this a first of a successful such landing? I mean, apart from sea planes?

I'd dance around if I survived a plane crash ....

What a fright, and in this kind of freeze-ass weather.

Glad everybody is OK.

How do you define successful? 100% survival rate amongst those on board?

are they all standing on the wing in that pick?

No, but I always read that the warnings were a joke because the overwhelming likelihood was that the place would be destroyed on impact.
