First of all, I'm amazed that nobody died when that plane crashed into the Hudson River. Everyone was rescued.

Secondly, I'm amazed at the coverage. I received an iChat instant message telling me about it. I went to CNN.com and watched live TV coverage on my computer.

And now, at Yahoo! News, I find a 46-picture slideshow which pulls good photos from a variety of sources (mostly the Associated Press and Reuters). As if this is something that happened yesterday, rather than a couple hours ago.

Amazing is our world.

That pilot should be given some major commendation. I heard some commentatro state that this was the first emergency landing by a commerce jet where the plane didn't break apart and no one died. God really was watching over them. It would be interesting to learn how this affects the passengers' beliefs toward deity.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
My posts stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense. But the continuing thread is serving God faithfully through the local church.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
