 [beer] to the pilots and that everyone gets to go home.  [thumbsup]   This could have easily ended up like that D.C./Potomac crash.

Some colleagues of mine at the bank were on that plane. Thank goodness everybody is ok. Big props to the pilot.

That article was horribly written and repeated information two, sometimes even three times.  [roll]

Good to hear everyone made it out alright though.
