plane rescue gratitude

i am mainly stupefied and amazed and dazzled at today’s plane crash and rescue. when i first saw the feed of the plane submerged in our river, i thought, oh my god, there are people in there. but there weren’t. every single one out, no one seriously injured–physically, at least. so, thanks. to the ferry boats and the fireboats and the police boats and the coast guard and the people who dove into the water and the pilot and all those passengers and crew for remaining calm, for working together. it could have been such a tragedy. but nope. just a crazy new york story. i love when that happens.

(though i am saying a prayer for the geese. that part is sad.)
