Several sources on tv are now saying they hit a flock of birds.

Anyone confirm?

With the freezing temp in the northeast, I hope everyone makes out okay... Said a prayer in silence.

FlightAware > Live Flight Tracker > US Airways #1549

They're saying 146 on board. Its floating well and all of those ferrys responded. They said the river has white caps on it so its not really that calm.

Hell of a good job.
