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.
