Today is the 17th anniversary of the #MiracleOnTheHudson US Airways Flight 1549 which made a forced landing in the Hudson without loss of life. Curiously, it is also the 73rd anniversary of #PRR #GG1 4876 crashing into Washington Union Station and through the floor into the basement below (https://dcist.com/story/13/01/24/post-55/), also without loss of life. Quite a day in history.
