Miracle On The Hudson

Miracle, I love this word, and it will happend suddenly, don't know where, when and to whom it's happened. I just saw the abc NEWS from Yahoo about US Airways plane crashesinto Hudson Rivew.


Now I read the Crews hoist ditched plane from Hudson River.
Salvage crews hoisted a downed US Airways jetliner from the Hudson River and onto a barge late Saturday, three days after its pilot made what he told investigators was a split-second decision to attempt a water landing to avoid a possibly "catastrophic" crash over populated areas.
Investigators retrieved the plane's black boxes, which were filled with fresh water, packed into blue coolers and were to be sped immediately to Washington.
The aircraft's torn and shredded underbelly revealed the force with which it had hit the water. Its right wing appeared charred, some pieces of metal dropped from the plane as it was maneuvered in the darkness, and the destroyed right engine appeared as though the outside had been peeled off.
An emergency slide still hung from the plane; nearby, a compartment door was open, with some luggage still visible inside. A gash extended from the base of the plane toward the windows. And in places, the skin of the aircraft was simply gone. But much of the top half of the fuselage appeared relatively untouched.


After you read and saw the Video, how do you think? is it Miracle?
Please give me your opinoin.
