Obama will give a bail out to geese as it has been several years since an ingestion of geese as caused a crash. WHY? Global warming. Bushes fault. (only a few days for the DUmmies to say that!)

Ah heck, just “clean” that title by transfering it in certain lax states (like certain dealerships used to do when I was in the car business), et voila, what water? what salvage? that was some other plane, LOL.
“Never buy an airplane without a Carfax vehicle history report!”
That thing is a writeoff. The flaps and slats were probably ripped off, the engines probably torn off as well. What’s worse, it’s immersed in brackish water, and the salt is going to start corroding any steel parts immediately, not to mention every piece of wiring and electronic equipment, not to mention the entire passenger cabin, will have to be torn out and replaced. I’d guess that after they pull it out and let the NTSB go over it, it will be written off and scrapped—it’d probably just be cheaper to buy another one from Airbus, or used from the next airline that shuts down.
Then again, forty years ago a Japan Air Lines DC-8 plunked down in San Francisco Bay two miles short of the airport...and they did pull that one out and rebuild it, and it flew for thirty more years. And that’s when planes were actually made out of metal! :)
