Another Rescue On The Hudson

Everybody remember the crash of US Airways Flight 1549? Where Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger heroically landed the huge A320 Airbus on the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 people on board....

Since the plane crash, reporters and camera crews were kept away from the scene by the police and the FBI.... However, New Yorker David Hugh Martin, who has an apartment right above the Hudson River, positioned his camera to record the rescue of the plane.... Three days of rescue footage were clipped together to make an amazing time lapse video of crews trying to bring the plane out of the river. It's amazing to watch the plane struggle to stay afloat as huge chunks of ice barrage the rescue efforts....

Time To Move

If anybody has ever needed to move, this is the lady. This is Kathleen Caronna.

Remember that Manhattan apartment building we saw on TV this week that New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed his plane into?

This lady lived in one of the apartments that was destroyed by the plane crash and the ensuing fire. The plane's engine landed in her bedroom!

An interview with Mrs. Caronna revealed that she was picking her son up from school, and if the plane crash had occurred just minutes later, both she and her son would have been in the apartment.

Mrs. Caronna seems to be a magnet for freak and bizarre accidents.

In 1997, during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Cat in the Hat balloon went out of control and knocked over a section of a lamppost that weighed several hundred pounds. That section of the lamppost fell on the head of Mrs. Caronna! The impact cracked her skull and left her in a coma for 28 days!

The associated press reported that: "Caronna had been watching the parade with her husband and infant son at 72nd Street and Central Park West. The plane crash occurred at 72nd and York Avenue, several blocks east."

What a weird coincidence!
