It is in the river about a mile from where i live on the west side of the Hudson.
It's very sad to see the neighbors rushing to the park at the edge of the bluff to see whats going on, like rubberneckers on the highway.

That's how you fly in NYC!!!!! Great skills to the crew for taking it in the river instead of the city. That's why pilots should be paid more than doctors because of the great CRM and skills that the crew showed the world today. Great JOB!!!!!
