Flight 1549 Towed Through New Jersey

Flight 1549 has been all the rage for the past few weeks; understandably, considering it's an airplane that splashed down in the Hudson River.

And it was really put on display yesterday, as it was towed out of NYC and through New Jersey (see above) to it's final resting spot. Which is probably a junk yard while it awaits investigation.

Actually, wait, it is a junk yard. So why doesn't everyone have their luggage back yet, then?

The plane was transported on a huge flatbed trailer after the wings and tail section were removed for transport on another trailer. The operation took place on blocked streets from the marina in Jersey City where it was parked to its final destination, Supor Industries salvage in Harrison. It'll stay there for 18 months for the National Transportation Safety Board investigation. A sight like this ranks pretty high on our "stuff you'd don't see every day" meter.

Indeed. Right up there with "a plane landing safely in the Hudson River."
