US Airways Hudson Crash Caught on Tape
Shocking footage from the descent of the US Airways plane that crashed into the Hudson River was captured by Coast Guard surveillance cameras.
The video also demonstrates how quickly events transpired after the crash -- real time is shown in the bottom right of the screen. Flight 1549 made impact with the river at 3:31:02 PM, and exactly one minute later -- 3:32:02 PM -- the emergency raft was out and passengers were disembarking from the plane.
