Apparantly it hit a flock of geese,and both engines died.The pilot mannaged to keep it in the air and did a soft landing in the river.

All the passangers are ok,including the crew.

There was a whole discussion on radio about the flock and gaggle thing.

Indeed you are right,it's a gaggle.Highly trained suicide birds,flew in from Iraq on Wednesday night.
