Hudson River Plane Crash, Take 2

I posted last month regarding the US Airways plane crash in the Hudson River. Now, the audio tapes from the incident have been released. It is amazing how calmly both the pilot and the air traffic controllers handle the situation. Most impressive.

Also, an odd little aside to this story is that actor Steve Martin was a passenger on the flight that crashed. Okay, that part isn't true, but it's funny Letterman footage. What is amazing about this story is that it went so well that it can be made the fodder of late-night humor.
