US Airways Jetliner Crashed!

I logged on the net tonight and instantly saw that a US Airways jetliner had crashed into the Hudson River in NYC. According to the article it had happened right around 3:30 p.m. est, right after take off. As I read on I was totally surprised to read that there was no reported deaths or major injuries. One eyewitnesses of the crash said that “it looked like a control crash into the water.” If that’s the case when I fly US Airways again I want that pilot. And the reason why for the control crash is something had to go wrong with power on the plane. There’s a report going around that the plane could have became disable when it hit a flock of birds. I have read in the past that planes are delayed all the time when birds are in the area, so this could happen. What happens is when birds get sucked into the engine it instantly blows it. And that’s what could have happened here, that’s what they think. Anyway, I came across the article on Yahoo if you want to read more on it. And I also wanted to add that from the images I saw it seemed that ferries in the area responded to the crash first, as they did on 9/11. These ferries operators saved a lot lives today, as they did on 9/11 when they moved thousands of people out of the city.
