This pilot deserves a total award for this one. Wow how it is still floating is beyond me. He just saved a lot of lives. I know this flight well as I have been on it flying with connections in Charlotte a lot. Im in shock and awe right now over the experience in flying that they have on this plane. I dont think ill ever fly any other airlines again.

NYPD reporting that they believe all "humans" are off the plane and alive at this time. Supposedly hit a flock of geese.

Yeah I work for the airlines and a FA called in to get on to Catcrew (their bidding software)
to check to see the crew thats on the plane.
Needless to say we've been bogged down at work ever since.
Good news is, FAA confirmed all crew (5) and passengers (146, roughly)
have been evacuated and made it out safely!
Thank the lord! Terrible how statistics were just saying
how we havent had a plane crash in 2 years and then this happens,
sounds to me like they jinxed them. Next time why can't they just
keep their mouths shut, and birds fly low?
