Minutes ago a US Airways flight crashed into the Hudson River off of Manhattan. Survivors were seen standing on the wings.
CBS managed to get it colossally and obviously wrong by calling the plane an Airbus 380. US Air doesn’t have any A380s, it’s waaay too small to be an A380, and it only had 60 passengers on board. Someone at CBS is a little clueless.
Update: A co-worker looked up the status of the flight and it’s shown as “Status Exception”. Indeed!
Update #2: It appears that a flock of geese flew in front of the plane and a goose entered each jet engine causing them to burst into flames. Fortunately all humans have been rescued and two charbroiled geese are the only reported casualties.

Don’t you just love all the different versions of a story?
There was a salesman in here yesterday giving the boys the story from his point of view- it was quite hilarous! Not a 100% factual, but that’s what made it funny!

I’m a little puzzled as to whether it was CBS that said “it only had 60 passengers on board” or if it was Hans.

It was CBS, but they since changed it (just like they changed the A380 to an A320).
