I also had been thinking the pilots must have been prior military. Good job! It will be interesting to learn the credentials of the pilots.

Terrorist trained kamikaze canadian geese.... makes perfect sense to me.
I'd like to hear the cockpit voice recorder from this one.

Agreed. Although, I don't immagine there would be much to it. Seems like they would have spent most of their time on the whole aviate part rather than navigate or communicate.
Cockpit Voice Recorder goes like this:
"WHACK (Unintelligible sounds of feathers fodding engines)"
PIC "What the fuck was THAT?!"
FO "Uhh, that would be geese, sir"
PIC " Canada or Snow?"
FO " Uhh, looks like it was a Canada Goose, sir"
PIC "Shit, I thought so...what airport is that? (pointing)"
FO "I don't know, let me ask control"
Control "That's Teterboro"
FO "It's Teterboro sir"
PIC "Think we can make it?"
FO "Nope"
PIC (over intercom) "Well, uhhh, folks...it looks like we won't be making it to Charlotte today...we, uhhh, are experiencing a little difficulty here, and, ahhh, will be setting her down in, ehhhh, the Hudson...We would like to thank you for flying US Airways, and, uhhh, will be pleased to inform you that you will receive 13.8 frequent flier miles today."
(137 seconds of uncomfortable silence)
"SPLASH!!!!"
PIC "Welcome to New York City, the time is now 3:28, the temperature is a balmy 20 degrees, skies are clear...looks like a great day outside...we'd like to thank you again, we know you have a choice and are grateful that you chose US Airways"

I was on a Delta flight out of Denver that hit a bird last summer. Right engine compressor stall and loud bangs and whooping sounds and lots of fire/smoke. Aborted takeoff and stopped on rwy. I was thanking God we hadn't rotated. It scared the piss outta me. I can't immagine what these folks were thinking when they were a few thousand feet up and it happened. Actually, I wonder if they knew what a serious situation they were in.

I don't like flying commercial, because I know if something goes wrong there is jack crap I can do. I especially hate flying behind the wing... not a comfortable position.
