US Airways Hudson Crash Caught on Tape

Shocking footage from the descent of the US Airways plane that crashed into the Hudson River was captured by Coast Guard surveillance cameras.

The video also demonstrates how quickly events transpired after the crash -- real time is shown in the bottom right of the screen. Flight 1549 made impact with the river at 3:31:02 PM, and exactly one minute later -- 3:32:02 PM -- the emergency raft was out and passengers were disembarking from the plane.

about a year before 9-11 a plane crashed near Long Island egyptair 990
check into that. It was suspiciou the pilots somehow lost control …and the pilots recordings were saying prayers and acting very confused, as though something else were controling the jet.. too bad they didnt live to clarify
very mysterious

They are not the towers…the towers were twice the height of almost any building in lower Manhattan.
