Only a mile or so west of TPM HQ a US Air jet has crashed into the Hudson River. We’re watching video of the plane. And — thankfully — it looks more like a crash landing than a crash, because the plane appears to be fully or nearly intact floating on the water. Passengers are being taken off the plane by boats.
We’ll bring you more shortly.
…
The plane took off at 3:26 PM from LaGuardia. So even now as I write only 22 minutes ago.
4:16 PM … Fox is reporting that NYC police now say that all passengers have been successfully evacuated from the plane.
4:34 PM … The FAA is now issuing a preliminary report that the agency believes all passengers and crew were able to safely evacuate the plane.
