It really is too bad the FO didn't do anything, however. Lazy bastard. Probably couldn't even swim.

Haven't heard one thing about the FO.

According to CNN, the Airbus has a special "Ditch Switch" which "seals up" all the doors in case you need to land in the water. That way the aircraft won't sink!!! Where do they come up with this stuff?

LaGuardia "Airport Monitor". Change time to 15:26, click start, click on first airplane that departs (turns green) and the flight info is shown on the right.

Looks like N461SA had front row seats (chopper heading north up the river at 1000ft).

Wow, I saw that, looks like N451SA was at 800 feet or so when the USAir guys were ditching, must have been a surreal experience...
