thanks

From what I heard it stayed up for so long due to being almost topped off with fuel

I think the river at the deepest point is like 200ft, like 30ft on the average

Awesome pilot, plain and simple. My hat's off to him/her.

I read that it was engine failure due to a flock of birds. It must've been a **** ton of birds, because engines are tested for multiple bird attacks.
