A plane carrying at least 150 people has crashed into the Hudson River in New York City.
The plane had only been in the air for three minutes after take-off when it went down.
The US Airways Airbus A320 passenger plane was flight 1549 from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte.
Officials have claimed that everyone on board survived the crash.
Fox News has also quoted passengers as saying that everyone from the plane had escaped alive.
Airline investigators have blamed the crash on bird strikes, which apparently disabled two of the plane's engines.
Because the plane is partially submerged in water, rescue boats have been picking up passengers who managed to clamber onto the plane's wings.
