This Day in History

[Carruthers]

Also on this date, 2009, the Miracle On The Hudson occurs.

I remember that vividly. I was looking after several horses at the time and as I drove into the yard for the last check of the evening the first news report of the ditching was on the radio.
My first thoughts were that it was going to be an accident similar to the Air Florida flight that ended up in the Potomac in 1982.
Thankfully, as we know, everyone survived.
Still can't believe it was nine years ago, though.
