Another "Miracle on the Hudson"

Facebook

Miracle on the Hudson — it’s happened again.

This time it was 60 miles north of New York City. A small plane with just two aboard, pilot and passenger, crashed into the Hudson east of Stewart International Airport in Orange County about 8 p.m. The Cessna 172 landed on ice near Newburgh. First responders found it. Those aboard escaped and swam to shore. Both had only minor injuries.
