A USAirways plane that took off at 3:26 p.m. from La Guardia Airport landed in the Hudson River five minutes later, where it remains mostly submerged. Ferries and other boats converged to help with a rescue effort, as the plane drifted south. There was no immediate information about the 151 people on board.

U:Miraculously, everyone onboard appears to have survived!

Everyone is going to listen to the in-flight emergency instructions differently after this. And guess what, they do float!
