I wish someone nearby caught it on video. FFS it happened in the states and those clowns walk around filming everything (or is that only on holidays).

Would love to have seen the landing.

Good to know all that training we do at the start of all the flights isn't in vain.....you can survive a water landing.

There is a video here that catches the last few moments of the crash landing on the Hudson and the first ferry boats to the rescue:

I am sure their may be more video cams to come...
