I can't wait to read an interview with the pilot. Apparently he has a airline safety business on the side, which will boom now I'm sure, but I am guessing is that he knew he would not make it back to LaGuardia and rather than trying a water landing in open water miles away from services, he chose the East River. Substantial waves, a 30 minute response time both would have had tragic results.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
