Text: A US Airways Airbus A320 passenger plane carrying 135 people has crashed into the Hudson River in New York, the Federal Aviation Administration says. Rescue boats and ferries are alongside the plane attempting to pick up people standing on both of the plane's wings. The plane, which the FAA said was flight 1549 from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, is partially submerged. It is not known how the plane came to land in the river, but the FAA said it might have been due to a bird strike.
