US Airways Flight 1549 Tribute

US Airways Flight 1549 was an Airbus A320-214 which, three minutes after takeoff from New York City's LaGuardia Airport on January 15, 2009, struck a patch of Canada geese just northeast of the George Washington Bridge and consequently lost all engine power. Unable to reach any airport, pilots Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles glided the plane to a ditching in the Hdson River off midtown Manhattan. All 155 people aboard were rescued by nearby boats and there were few serious injuries. The incident came to be known as the "Miracle on the Hdson"
