Thank you for that... that's a great picture.

That's why I'm here... to get answers to simple questions.

I just know that every time I've flown commercially and look onto the wing, there are "Do not step" warnings with weight restrictions in the hundreds of pounds...

... So when I see more than 20 people standing on a wing, I ask about it.

I don't really understand the hostility quite frankly.

Lemme guess, a 9/11 Truther too, eh?

Then what about those OVERWING EXITS that exist for the sole purpose for getting people out the cabin, onto the wing, then off the wing and away from the airplane.

Water is heavier than fuel, meaning fuel is buoyant in water. The airplane might be metal, but a semi-enclosed vessel (especially with a couple thousand gallons of fuel in each wing) helped keep it afloat.

The hostility comes from the suggestion of a conspiracy relating to this accident, when anybody who has flown airplanes professional knows of the risks birdstrikes pose an airplane.

To answer your question about birds not hitting the nose - birds will often dive downward in the last instant before there is a collision...sometimes they're successful in getting away from the fuselage and engines, sometimes they are not.

It is because you are saying that this is fake and nothing happened.

When a plane falls out of the sky and every person lives is a miracle.

This plane did take off and had engine trouble and ditched in the Hudson.

are you saying that the wing would break apart or that the airplane will tip to one side?

I am sure that if the people huddled to one side it would start to crack but they were spread evenly and they were not on the wing to long

Wings are crazy strong. Walking on them isn't really good for them, hence the no step markings you mention. Many of those stickers are on moving parts, or thin covers to mechanical items, etc.

As far as no close photos, I would hope non essential people would be kept back.

What would be the point of this massive cover up?

You don't understand??? Ok...155 people just survived an accident that could've been catastrophic and you pose SIMPLE questions about the validity of 20 or more people standing on a wing? By the way, I'll give you a hint: physics and pressure. Next time "google" your questions.
