Amazing new video of the crash and the first moments thereafter was released today. It shows just how quickly passengers were moved outside the plane and just how little time elapsed before the first rescue boat arrived. In about four minutes, a river ferry arrived and did an amazing job of matching the drift of the plane to help remove passengers. Had that not happened, the ferry could have made the situation much more dire in the opening minutes.
The more I read about this, the more it looks like the plane's pilot, Captain , is -- to quote "Apollo 13" -- a steely-eyed missile man. Bravo!
