It looks like it's in shallow water right now. A good deal of the passengers were on lifeboats, waiting for assistance from the Coast Guard.

Rumors are that the plane hit a flock of geese.

Speaking as someone who's almost drowned before that is not a way you want to die. I hope they save everyone in time if no one died immediately from the impact.

Is this newer than what CNN is broadcasting?

Prayers to all involved and I hope all come out safe and sound.

the best pilots are the ones who don't panic in situations like these.

all he told the passengers was to prepare for an impact and made a perfect landing in the water.
