A US Airways jet apparently took a goose to one engine on takeoff from LaGuardia, and the pilot made a perfect water landing in the Hudson River -- no one was hurt, everyone was pulled off the slowly sinking aircraft by local ferries that arrive in less than 3 minutes (the people were standing on the wings) and the pilot had enough time to walk through the plane two times to ensure that no one was left on board before left the plane. Pictures here.
Bravo! Talk about calm, cool, collected thinking in a crisis.
Apparently the landing was perfect enough that some bystanders thought that they were filming a movie or something. Wow.
