Robin Roberts Witnesses ‘Miracle’ Plane Crash

Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts was an eyewitness to the crash of US Airways Flight 1549. The passenger jet made an emergency landing in the frigid waters of the Hudson River in New York City yesterday afternoon. The pilot’s quick thinking helped ensure that all passengers survived.

Roberts described what she saw to ABC Evening News’ Charlie Gibson last night.

Roberts watched the event, dubbed the “Miracle on the Hudson,” from the balcony of her apartment.

“It completely just hit the water full-force, never bounced or anything like that, and came to a relatively quick stop," she told Gibson. “But it didn’t skim along the water. There was very little trauma to the aircraft. I still can't believe what I saw.”
