This picture was taken by Eric Thayer and was published on MSNBC on January 15, 2009. The plane struck a flock of birds during takeoff at LaGuardia Airport and it caused an immediate loss of thrust from both engines. However, the pilot managed to land the plane safely on the water. This miracle is important because all the passengers survived. There were 155 passengers on board that day.
Blessings for everyone, especially for the Pilot. A real miracle.
This must of been the biggest fear those passengers ever experienced, thank God that they had a pilot that was able to keep a level head. That really was Miracle on the Hudson.
