A Year After a Splashdown, Returning to the Hudson

clipped from cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com A Year After a Splashdown, Returning to the Hudson By JAMES BARRON Michael Appleton for The New York TimesUS Airways Flight 1549 crash-landed in the Hudson River on Jan. 15, 2009, one year ago this Friday. In almost everyone’s mind, it ranked as one of those where-were-you-when moments: the moment on a waning January afternoon when an airplane landed in the Hudson River. Of course, there are 155 people for whom it really was an unforgettable moment. They were on board. And more than half of them will celebrate the first anniversary of the splashdown together on Friday, in the same spot in the river — but this time they will be on a boat.
