"There's a plane in the Hudson"

U.S. Airways flight 1549 touched down on a frigid Hudson in New York shortly after 3.31 p.m. on Thursday.

When I read about it on AP around 3.50 p.m., I immediately expected Captain Sully's crash to make citizen journalism (I'm a bit embarrassed to admit).

And it did. Twitpic contributor Janis Krums (jkrums) beat AP to the story.

Update: Check out Lisa Respers France's CNN report of Krums' scoop.
