Let's give these pilots a hand.. or a medal, a raise, a statue.. SOMETHING

'Miraculous' landing in frigid Hudson

Passengers scrambled to get off a sinking jetliner today after it went down with more than 150 people on board in New York's Hudson River. All passengers are believed to have escaped from the US Airways jet, which was en route to Charlotte.

The pilots angled the plane so it belly flopped and then slid along the top of the water. Hydroplaned, and no pun intended. From what I have read, minor injuries only, and all passengers have gotten out.
