This is jaw-droppingly amazing!

Apparently the pilot lost both engines when colliding with a flock of geese, circled the airport and realized there was no chance of a safe landing, then ditched - intact - in the Hudson!

Early reports is that there are no life-threatening injuries, and everyone has evacuated. First responders were commercial ferries, and they were on the scene within 2-3 minutes.

Amazing isn’t even strong enough a word.
