New York City in the 1920s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud5wk-5NRNM.
Here is the video of New York City in the twenties. The documentary movie is implemented with short descriptions of every scene. I thought it would be interesting to see how the City lived more than 90 years ago.
Resources: Ira H. Gallen Video Resources that have spent over 30 collecting and restoring from 16mm & 35mm Film Prints and Kinescopes some of the rarest and in many cases one of a kind FILMS.

Miracle on Hudson
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.
