Media reports indicate the Airbus A320 struck a flock of geese shortly after take off from LaGuardia Airport.

Serious Bravo Zulus and Sierra Hotels to the flight crew… Setting that aircraft down in the river intact was one hell of a piece of flying!

Update: Michelle Malkin has a profile of the pilot, Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger.
