On January 15, 2009, U.S. Airways Flight 1549 made an emergency landing in NYC's Hudson River. I was sitting at my desk at 30 Rock when I got the news. Having long been obsessed with all things aviation, my work was cut out for me: I sprung out of my seat like a Jack-in-the-box, left the building, and despite the 19- degree temperature, I sprinted 15-20 minutes to the Hudson River. There I stood outside in the cold and watched the story unfold in real time.

Right away MSNBC decided to do a "crash" (quick-turnaround "Insta-doc") about Flight 1549. I suggested that we flesh the story out to other planes that had had made emergency landings in the water. (The technical aviation term for this is "ditching.") I found other instances and then tracked down survivors, including a pilot of a DC-9 who had ditched in the Caribbean decades earlier.

Another plane that ditched, albeit unintentionally, was an Ethiopian Airlines 767 bound from Addis Ababa to Nairobi. The plane had been hijacked. Pilots tried to tell the a-hole hijackers that the plane was going to run out of fuel. They refused to listen and the plane ended up in the waters right off the Comoros Islands, near Madagascar.

I interviewed Salim Amin, whose father, a famous African journalist, was killed trying to save his fellow passengers.

I discovered other little-known accidents, including Pan Am Flight 943, which ditched in the open Pacific on October 16, 1956. Incredibly, there were no fatalities. One of the survivors was a 3-year-old girl named Joanne Marzioli, who was returning to the Bay area from the Philippines. I tracked her down. Her interview is incredibly emotional.

One of the other cool things I did for this story: Lester Holt and I went down to U.S. Airways' Charlotte, NC training center, where he attempted to land a plane in similar circumstances in a flight simulator. You'll have to watch to see how he fared.

You'll be surprised to learn how many ditchings there have been, even though the A320 "Sully" flew is likely the only one you've ever heard of. - bsocially

American Airlines Flight 587 was a regularly scheduled international passenger flight from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. On November 12, 2001, the Airbus A300B4-605R flying the route crashed shortly after takeoff into the Belle Harbor neighbourhood of Queens, a borough of New York City. All 260 people aboard the plane (251 passengers and 9 crew members) were killed, along with 5 people on the ground. It is the second-deadliest aviation incident involving an Airbus A300 and the third-deadliest aviation incident to occur on U.S. soil.

The location of the accident and the fact that it took place two months and one day after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan initially spawned fears of another terrorist attack. Terrorism was officially ruled out as the cause by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which instead attributed the disaster to the first officer's overuse of rudder controls in response to wake turbulence from a Japan Airlines (JAL) Boeing 747-400 that took off minutes before it. According to the NTSB, the aggressive use of the rudder controls by the first officer caused the vertical stabiliser to snap off the plane, along with the plane's two engines separating from intense forces before impact.

Because the crash occurred just two months and one day after the September 11 attacks in New York, several major buildings including the Empire State Building and the United Nations Headquarters were evacuated. In the months after the crash, rumors circulated that the plane had been destroyed in a terrorist plot, with a shoe bomb similar to the one found on Richard Reid. In May 2002, a Kuwaiti national named Mohammed Jabarah agreed to cooperate with investigators as part of a plea bargain. Among the details Jabarah gave authorities was a claim made to Jabarah by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's lieutenant, who told Jabarah that Reid and Abderraouf Jdey had both been enlisted by the al-Qaeda chief to carry out identical shoe-bombing plots as part of a second wave of attacks against the United States. According to this lieutenant, Jdey's bomb had successfully blown up Flight 587, while Reid's attempt had been foiled.

In May 2002, a Canadian government memo was written that repeated the claims suggesting that Jdey had a role in the crash, while conceding that the reliability of the source of that information — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's lieutenant — was unknown. According to information contained in the memo, Jdey — a naturalized Canadian citizen — was to use his own Canadian passport to board the flight. While American Airlines' passenger manifest did indicate citizens boarding with passports from the United States, the Dominican Republic, Taiwan, France,[d] Haiti, and Israel, no passengers boarded using a Canadian passport. According to NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz, the weight of the memo's veracity was put into question, as no evidence of a terrorist traveling on board was found. The evidence suggested that the aircraft was brought down after a piece of the empennage, "the vertical fin, came off", while it did not indicate "any kind of event in the cabin." - bsocially
