Amazing Story

The plane crash in the Hudson River today was absolutely amazing. A perfect story, if you will. How many good endings do we actually see occur after a plane crashes? I believe technology played a huge role in the story today. Many Americans across the country found out about the news thanks to sites like Twitter. Some of the earliest candid pictures arrived on Twitter and Flickr minutes after the crash. CNN and Fox just cannot compete with that. That's what makes it so cool. Thanks to the internet we get to see live shots from real people of these crazy events. I love it. Here are some pictures that were taken by real people on the scene that I found on Twitter and Flickr:



That first picture is an early favorite for Picture of the Year. Just a great picture that tells a great story.
