We just went two calendar year without an airplane casualty in the US. With luck, we can pray that this streak gets extended and that all passengers escaped successfully.

According to FOX and CNN there appears no fatalities. e.g. everyone’s shook up and cold but okay.

No fatalities from what I have heard, which is great.

How soon can they yank that plane out of the drink, blow dry it, and get it back in service?

Wow...the next time the flight attendant is explaining how, in the unlikely event of a water landing, my seat may be used as a flotation device...I’m going to listen!

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!)
