Will there be complimentary champagne service while waiting for rescue?
This is why you only fly baller-class.
Doubtful that short flight even had a first class cabin.

@3: It did.
i heard they gave double miles for the flight. so gracious
It’s not first class and coach anymore – it’s Goldman and Citi Holdings
Thats awesome! Thanks EP. On a boring ass conf call and I had to mute before I laughed out loud!
people on the wing are trying to stay away from lawyers in the raft lookung to sign them up.

“i heard they gave double miles for the flight. so gracious”
So, 20 miles instead of 10?
Presented without comment? Uh what do you call those words superimposed onto the picture?
That is nasty EP. I think that is the emergency exit slide and not a life raft.
@9- my word your standards of humor are low. this seriously made you laugh out loud?
I always had wanted to make a splash in NY…
This would have been an excellent time to join the sea-level high club.
Thank goodness Robert Kennedy & Pete Seeger cleaned-up the Hudson River.
those c-level executives i guess?
Much better than diverting to Jersey….

@7 not quite – Goldman is coach and Citi Holdings is Greyhound.
No. 21, you’re an asshole, but I don’t really to tell you that, because you probably already know it.

Someone commented yesterday about the people in refugee class on the wing with their carryons. Those are seat cushions!
#23, I think my many friends have a more appropriate term: schmuck
@9, 15, 16 go back to Yahoo finance message boards.
@11 pretty funny.
@21
go climb into your bunker and put a couple rounds in your mouth

@26 Justifying, on an anonymous message board, that you have “many” friends… is just sad.
A source who was on the plane (part of rescue effort) has confirmed what we’ve all (presumably) been wondering:
There were “no hot chicks” on board.
Make of that what you will.
#26 here
#30 – cute, made me laugh
I think you know what I meant
or are you just a withered one?
No raft. Emergency chute. If the plane went in nose first the picture would be different.
too long, didn’t read
I know you are trying to be funny, but that is not a raft, that is the front door slide!
I think EP should have her IP range banned.
@27.
@33 and some of you others, ding! thanks for playing, but on the A320 the forward slides are designed to double as rafts.
Call it a “front door slide” a safety slide, a impact cushioning device, whatever you like.
The reality is that it is an inflated rubbery object keeping the first class passengers out of the water. Where I come from that’s also called a “raft.”
Of course, the comparison is supposed to be humorous and a little tongue-in-cheek, but it is still amusing that refugee class doesn’t even get a nice, visible yellow inflating preserver.

I here you get a free cruise certificate with every air ticket you purchase from US Air
EP, I can see that. I guess, in a way, I can see the humor considering everyone got out safely.

I apologize for posting twice, the site gave me an error.
The post was intended as saatire and had more than enough veracity to it to pull it off, in spades. Well done, EP, and some of you dim bulbs need to take a break.
FYI — that isn’t a raft. Those are the shoots/slides that deploy in a crash and they happen to float as well … however, I’m no aviation expert — not sure if all the doors have them and it’s not a seat-class thing.
@2 – Recent Reader Mail Bag post notwithstanding, if you’re still in banking, I don’t know if you can still afford “baller-class” anymore.
Those aren’t seat cushions they’re holding on the wing, those are pitchbooks.
And no using the first class bathroom on the way out, either.
Shouldn’t they have let women and children on the raft first, rather than first class passengers???? Like in Titanic?

Plane was filled with BoA people doing ML dd….water was probably warmer than ML broker welcome!!
@47 — hilarious
Do you think they had time to serve the engine-made foie gras before the landing?
(ps only asking given that everyone is safe)
those inflatable slides are detachable and can act as a raft

@54 – 58: seriously? did you not get the message yesterday? click one time then move along…

@60 awesome
Sorry to be a spoiler but there were slides/rafts on the wing. They deployed towards the rear of the aircraft and so are out of view in your photo. If you care to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mLKfRVU3qM you will see both the wing rafts deployed about 3 minutes into the clip.
I hope there are NO lawyers circling…..it was an unavoidable accident….the pilot and US Air did an amazing job……
If someone forgets how lucky they are and does file suit…..it ‘s a SURE sign we need to reform our legal system!
