What amazes me, with all the cameras in New York, that no one got a picture or video of the actual crash.
I'm still trying to figure out how the hell that plane stayed afloat as long as it did. The more I read about how everything went right, the more I think that is just not possible. Not going all tin foil hat, but, seriously. Who crashes a plane, in 35 degree water, in 20 degree temperature, after losing both engines, and not a single person dies and the plane doesn't break up.
Fuckin amazing.

Planes are pressurized for high altitude. Um, wouldn't you think that would entail a semi-enclosed capsule? And if so, water would seep in slowly?
Thats the thing. The survivors all report water rushing into the plane fairly quickly. That, and the fact that the landing gear was down, opening up the lower compartments to water, and the doors were all open, means that the 'semi-enclosed capsule' really wasn't when it hit the water and afterwards.

Mikey the aviation engineer is on the case!
