The aircraft had a double engine failure after taking off from LaGuardia airport, but he managed to get it down safely by landing in the river! I'm amazed no-one was seriously hurt (or worse).

That really is fantastic news - I bet the family of the pilot are very proud.

NY deserves a good luck story!

Excellent skills indeed. the pilot couldn't have timed that any better.

Here's now a hero all offer the nation thanks to the news coverage of the crash.

The mayor of New York is giving him and his crew the keys to the city.

Imagine the homecoming he'll receive
