An excellent view from the Con Edison security camera shows the immediate reaction after USAIR Flight 1549 lands. You can see the doors open, the inflatable raft/slide pop open, folks climbing out on the wings and the ferry rescues. First view I’ve seen that shows how much it drifts in the current. Utterly amazing how fast the rescue takes place. Piloted by Captain Chelsey Sullenberger III.
