New York–The Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board released Coast Guard footage today of the U.S. Airways passenger plane as it conducted an emergency landing into the Hudson River Jan. 15, 2009.
The Coast Guard is conducting a safety zone around the plane, which is now located at Battery Park City, N.Y., while a commercial salvage team is working to remove the plane from the water.
The Coast Guard, New York Police and Fire Departments, New York Waterways and Circle Line ferry rescue teams launched a multi-asset response yesterday when the plane ditched onto the Hudson River, at approximately 3:30 p.m.
Upon initial notification, Coast Guard Sector New York launched a fleet of small rescue boats and the 87-foot Coast Guard Cutter Ridley was diverted to the scene. The Coast Guard Cutter Katherine Walker also arrived on scene to ist in the search and rescue efforts and enforcement of the safety zones.
Three Coast Guard helicopters from Air Station Atlantic City, N.J., and one from Air Station Cape Cod, Mass., worked closely with New York City Police air ets to provide aerial support.
The video was captured by Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service. The purpose of a VTS is to provide active monitoring and navigational advice for vessels in particularly confined and busy waterways. There are two main types of VTS, surveillance and non-surveillance.
Surveillance systems consist of one or more land-based sensors
(including radar, Automated Identification Systems and closed circuit television sites), which output their signals to a central location where operators monitor and manage vessel traffic movement. Non-surveillance systems consist of one or more reporting points at which ships are required to report their identity, course, speed, and other data to the monitoring authority.
The Coast Guard operates 12 Vessel Traffic Centers (VTC): Prince William Sound, Puget Sound, Valdez, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles/Long Beach, Houston-Galveston, Berwick Bay, Louisville, Saint Mary’s River, Port Arthur, Tampa, and New York.

New York is prepared for most anything these days but who could have imagined that something potentially as tragic as this could turn out this way? What an amazing pilot, crew and rescue service.

Inguags, was this in response to my comment? Regardless, I heartily enjoyed your previous use of the term ‘dumbass,’ so much so that I even found myself relating the whole story to my mother just yesterday.
By the way, please let me ure you that I am an Internet crackpot/wingnut, and not, in fact, a pseudo intellectual YouTuber. I get that a lot, actually; it’s a pretty common mistake.

i am almost certain you were so proud of yourself when you wrote this. your prose give me the idea that you’re just another pseudo intellectual youtuber…
and since i would rather never have to talk to you again, i will leave you with one bit of advice; learn the difference between jokes/sarcasm and being a complete idiot.
btw, if you did not get the underlying message from the previous paragraph, ill be clearer. don’t respond, i wont listen.

FYI, the junior flight attendant on that aircraft was 51 years old. Think about that. Experience does count for something. They operated without benefit of knowing what to expect as far as landing conditions, time available, etc. Their training took over and they just did their jobs. There has never before been a successful ditching by a US carrier. NEVER. This is historic and heroic…kudos to all.

Is that the intrepid museum at 3:50 - 3:59? Looks like the Concorde appeared at 4:15.

No, we pretty much just say things to get a rise out of others.

Holy Crap, I was totally joking about the Concorde being docked in Hudson Bay, I mean River! I just naturally umed that what looked like the Concorde in this video was a trick of light and shadow, conspiring with low-resolution, to make some other structure or craft resemble the legendary bird. I’ve now googled “Concorde in New York,” and gotten clued in.
I’m glad to know that one of those beauties is receiving the care and appreciation it deserves!

Have you never heard of the river Forth? Someone who rates (or grades) said river is a forth-grader! Pretty obvious if you ask me!
