Markus Schenker was not the pilot here

A US Airways plane with 55 people on board went into the chilly Hudson River, apparently after striking some geese upon takeoff from New York's LaGuardia Airport. Everybody made it out.
If these were Canadian geese, is this a terrorist act?

The stock market should go up today...what a country! Seriously this pilot must have a huge set of balls. He deserves whatever he wants, because it won't be long before PETA uses his likeness in a campaign for saving the geese.

And I hate to dampen the euphoria, but this America, and the plane was loaded with business people and other assorted asshats, who appear to exiting WITH THEIR CARRY-ONS! C,mon people... survival first, bag of make-up and your free peanuts next.
