Telecasting lifting 80-ton Airbus A320 out of the water went on the air. To the fuselage is not falling apart, he pulled out of the water in stages, a few meters behind each technique, giving spill scored in body water. In any case, the pumps were kept ready. Divers, even before the rise found that one of the two engines of the aircraft is not broke when a hard landing, as previously thought, but remains attached under the right wing. Made it difficult to work for a strong, muddy water, and strong for the New York cold - minus 10-14 degrees Celsius.
Now airliner loaded onto barges and sent for examination to the neighboring state of New Jersey. Specialists from the National Transportation Safety Board US begin to decipher the flight recorders.

Sullenberger immediately took it over, and as the plane did not have time to climb and could not fly away with broken turbines, took an instant solution to sit on the water.
It turned out to be the only true: otherwise the plane would have fallen on densely populated areas of the city.
