CNN.com Live Streaming Plane Crash in Hudson
The sinking US Airways plane in Hudson River makes compelling live online video. Here is the CNN.com coverage. You will need to download a small application. (This still image was taken at 4:11 EST)
CNN.com has been leading the online media industry with live streaming of news events. This will certainly be among the most widely viewed. Beet.TV has learned that CNN.com began its live coverage at 3:48 EST about 15 minutes after the plane landed in the river.
All the passengers have been removed from the plane, according to early reports.
Dan Frommer over at Silicon Alley Insider has a report of "citizen journalists" covering the event with an amazing photo taken on a iPhone. Eric Zeman at Information Week talks about how Twitter spread news of the event. More on crash tweets from Venture Beat's MG Siegler.

Comments
After the plane crash in the Hudson River and all the praise being handed out, I have not heard any comment about the 3 flight attendants on board. I know they are there to guide people and help them out of exit doors and calm the passengers. I think they should receive a large amount of praise along with the job the Pilot and Co=Pilot did to get everyone out safely.
I've seen some pretty amazing photo's taken of the plane and the people perched on the wings in the Hudson. It's incredible that all those people survived.

After watching the Mircle on the Hudson, I had to call my daughter in NY who is a flight attendent with Delta. First,I told her that we love her and then I told her how very proud we are of her for choosing her profession. The flight attendent is NOT a glorified waiter on a plane. They could save your life!!
