Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.

Re: Video of hudson river plane crash
That's incredible footage! Full marks to the crew for the speed at which they got people out of there. The CCTV operator must have got a shock...
There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning....
And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave....
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

Everyone who saw it falling was in shock.
Thank god the pilots were skilled enough to land in the best place possible for a rescue.

Yeah, this was a really amazing incident. Miracle, even. The pilot managed to land the plane okay without hitting a bridge or anything, and not a single person died. Good thing NYC's been training for stuff like this.
