  Several groups have filed suits against the airline, the pilot and the Port of New York.

  Greenpeace is claiming that marine life was disrupted by the water landing and it will require between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 to restore the habitat.

  Peta is asking punitive damages of $15,000,000. for the families of the geese that were killed and they are investigating allegations that some animals in the cargo hold were not provided with adequate emergency flotation devices.

  The ACLU has filed a class action against US Airways for not having a black man or a homosexual on the flight crew. They contend that this is a troubling sign that affirmative action quotas may not be getting enforced.

  "There were some church ladies "oh lawd"ing this morning and "thank you Jesus"ing. Of course, the next logical question is:"

  Why did god let the geese fly into the engines to begin with?

  If he could have changed the geese flight pattern, he would have saved the geese and the people would have went safely on their way.

  "Praise is also going to the three cabin crew who organised the evacuation of the 150 passengers. And there is credit for the French-based European Airbus firm for building a tough airliner. Among other things, unlike Boeings, the Airbus has an emergency "Ditch button", which closes vents and makes the fuselage more watertight. Airbus pilots have always been sceptical about the button, on the overhead panel. Today, they are saying "Oh, so that's what it's for." "
