In The Unlikely Event of a Water Landing

The Unlikely Event of a Water Landing: New Photos From Flight 1549: “On Jan. 15, 2009, a few Canadian geese with bad timing became snarge, a steely pilot became a hero, and the world became fascinated with images of a jet splashing into the Hudson River and then floating calmly as passengers crowded its wings.
But until now, few people have seen the equally surprising pictures of the second half of this story: when a salvage team used the biggest floating crane on the East Coast to pluck the ill-fated Airbus A320 from the frigid water.”

An incredible set of photos! There’s also an interesting story behind the images in the article.
