The Plane from our house

So here is the plane from our house.
.
It landed a little north of our house (so I couldn't see it), but it kept drifting more and more south.
.
First of all I was amazed at the great job the pilot did landing the plane. I mean any mistake and they are toast.
.
Second how lucky to land on the Hudson river during the day. The commuter ferries were there in less than 5 minutes to take the passengers off the plane's wings.
.
Which probably saved a lot of lives or at least help avert a ton of hypothermia.
.
It was quite the thing to watch live and on TV at the same time.
