Lucky escape

Amazingly, it appears that all passengers and crew have survived the emergency landing of a US Airways flight within minutes of it taking off from La Guardia airport. With both engines failing due to (based on early reports) bird strikes, the Airbus A320 was ditched successfully into the freezing cold Hudson River in New York.
No doubt suitable recognition will be shown for the skills of the pilot, co-pilot and cabin crew.
