US Airways plane goes down in New York's Hudson River
A US Airways pilot guided his jetliner into the frigid Hudson River today after a flock of birds knocked out both its engines just after takeoff, sending 155 people on board scrambling onto rescue boats. One victim suffered two broken legs, a paramedic said, but there were no other reports of serious injuries.
