Hats off to the lady pilot who by all accounts made the right PDM.

 

The must have had to get tetnus shots after being in the Hudson River.

Kudos to her for stayin' cool as a cucumber!

 

And I'm laughin' at that tetanus-shot thingy, Don. One of my guyz stayed on the Hudson on the Jersey side—cheaper to visit NYC that way. But kinda dirty and stinky. He fit right in! Ahahahaha!

I saw a cbs news clib on this and it was brutal. They showed a picture of either a longranger or a 407 or something and they said "here is a photo of the helicopter before the accident" haha. I think they also mentioned the pop out floats automatic deployment haha. Not a single credit to the pilot for a gross weight auto onto water with pop out floats.

I have to agree, she did a great job..

 

For those who are interested, here is a video showing the EC-130B4 after "ditching" in the Hudson:
