seem that flying up the corridor when there's a cross wind isn't very
smart. When they entered the corridor, the die was cast baring
climbing above the roof tops, entering Bravo airspace, or executing a
chandelle type course reversal (or ditching).

I'd love to see radar tracks for other aircraft, either from that day or
days with similar weather. It would be illuminating.

Planning is the key.

Agreed. While I was in training, I flew the Hudson River Corridor with my
CFI. When we reached the Statue of Liberty, we got clearance to enter the
class B airspace and overfly EWR. I remember thinking that when I did it
on my own, I'd better have a REALLY good plan for how I was going to
handle it if Newark Tower declined the clearance.
