"I Saw The Plane Crash!"

From my window, I watched a miracle

-The Betty Editors, BettyConfidential.com

We are all awed by the story of a plane crash with a happy ending. What was it like to watch it happen? Beth Schoenfeldt of Collective-E.com gives Betty an eyewitness account:

I live on 66th and Riverside Blvd in Manhattan and was working from home and on the phone. I looked up and saw a plane flying really low over the river. It was a fairly large plane. I immediately flashed back to 9/11 and knew something was wrong. It was either an attack on the city or it was crashing. I ran and got my husband, who also works from home and we watched it land in the water. It actually looked like a very smooth landing, like a sea plane.

It was surreal because it was so quiet. It seemed as if nobody but us noticed. At the same time we knew lots of other people must have seen it happen. We were relieved to see a door pop open and then see people walking out on the wing of the plane. Instantly, ferry boats started heading out to the plane. It seemed like forever (probably only 5 minutes) for them to get there and for helicopters and everything else to start showing up.
