Summary
Unidentified passengers and crew walk along one of the wings of Flight 1549 as it sits in the Hudson River after "ditching" as a result of reported hitting a flock of geese, New York City, 15 January 2009.

The pilot Chelsey B. "Sully" Sullenberger III made a safe landing on the water that allowed all 150 passengers (including an infant), 3 crew and his fellow pilot to escape. Only one passenger was injured with both legs broken.

Assorted vessels from various law enforcement agencies were joined by ferry lines to take passengers from the aircraft to shore.
