Crazy Plane...
I've often wondered what would happen if a flock of geese hit a large airplane. Oddly enough, whenever I fly over the Hudson or East River, I always think that if we had to land in water, I would want it to happen there. I always figured that since it was so close to shore, it would be really easy to get back on land. That pilot was legit. He stopped that thing as close to the edge as he could have. Had he not made it to the river he was only 3 block from Times Square. It's kind of insane actually.
As soon as I heard about it and found out there were no casualties, I grabbed my camera and hopped on a train. Unfortunately by the time I got down there there was not much left to see. The police wouldn't let anyone get close enough to the water to see anything. There were more emergency vehicles than I've ever seen in my life in the span of about 4 blocks. It was nuts. My pictures are no where near as cool as the one above, but here are a couple of them.
I'm headed out to DC for inauguration so if I don't get to blog again before I take off, I'm sure I'll have stories when I get back. As always, go big or go home...

oh ps -
tell 'em what to watch: Friday Night Lights (NBC - 8pm) returns finally!! Last season was cut short because of the writers strike. It almost got cancelled but NBC struck a deal with Direct TV that seems to have put some life back into it. Watch it!! It's an awesome show and I'm always worried it might get cancelled. Obviously, Monk and Psych are also on as always (USA - Monk @ 9 and Psych @ 10). These are three of the best shows on tv and you need to be watching them!!!
