One Year ago today, US airplane in the Hudson River



I watched a TV show earlier this week where the pilot of the US airplane explained how he had to decide where to land his plane that had lost power. There were only moments to communicate with the air traffic controllers and attempt to land at any closest airport or runway. I think we have all seen the news coverage of the plane land in the river and float there as the passengers were rescued. Last May while I was at MQS one of the entries in the quilt show was that exact photo turned into a quilt. Here is the news photo and the quilt photo. The hands that were quilted truly tell the story of the landing.
