....So I just woke up feeling better...
This morning I had to wake up super early to go to the airport with dad (going to visit family and friends back home). worked all day yesterday and got home late. ..and to make it worst I have a motion sickness problem (so you can imagine the ride to the airport-ughh!). I stayed at the airport 'till his flight took off because it started snowing bad and we expected the weather to get worst, just in case his flight got (wasn't sure but waited anyway to see the "final boarding" for his destination.
Came home got something to eat..and took a nap.....
Woke up 4:39pm ...
........a plane crashed? huh? where? how? hope it's not a terrorist attacked again! not now...not again and especially not in this weather......
What we know is, a US Airways jet made an emergency landing into the Hudson River on this frigid afternoon.
The US Airways-flight 1549, with 155 people on board; three flight attendants and two pilots, left LaGuardia and was heading to Charlotte, NC. The cause for this as pilot reported: a "double bird strike" less than a minute after taking off. That's when he felt like he had to make that pluged into the Hudson. Both engines were knocked out by a flock of geese, the pilot wanted to turned back to LGA airport but it was too late-he made a safe landing to the Hudson near 48th instead that way it would be easier and safer for the passnegers on board.
Some people suffered minor bruises and scrapes, and minor hypothermia-it could have been worst.
God forbids that plane could've worst-it could've landed anywhere on the streets on NYC (times square) GOD knows...but thanks to the pilot such thing didn't happened.
One thing I can say about this almost-tragic incident is: I am glad everyone is ok and are safe-thanks to the pilot for making that safe landing.

That was a beautiful miracle, I can't imagine what it would have been like to be in the plane. I'd just flown back to NY from my holiday break in Dallas, coincidentally on a US airlines flight too and it was pretty scary thinking what if.
