Default Airliner crashes into Hudson River after LGA departure


Oh really, and how do you figure that. Any idea what his altitude was when
**** started happening?


I believe the mode C showed him maxing out at about 3200 MSL at 3+ minutes
into the flight. That would seem to be right with a 200 knot max glide rate
sink of about 1000 fpm and a 6 to 7 minute take-off to landing time.
