US Airways Fight 1549: New York Marine Operations

摘要

"Plane crash in the water." The radio stack in the office lit up with reports. "Pretty common," Fire Department of New York (FDNY) personnel thought.rnFDNY Marine Operations, the Marine Battalion, and Marine Company 6 all operate and respond from the Brooklyn Navy Yard (just north of the Brooklyn Bridge). Seaplanes land not far from the Marine Division on the East River and have a Manhattan-based berth. So as usually is the case when a seaplane lands, FDNY receives the report of "Plane crash in the water." However, on January 15, 2009, FDNY received further information that the plane crash was in the Hudson River. Realizing seaplanes do not normally land in the Hudson, it was "All Hands."
