Probe launched into 'Miracle on the Hudson'

An investigation will take place today into the cause of a plane crash which saw 155 passengers and crew plunge into the freezing waters of New York’s Hudson river last night.

In what was described as the 'Miracle on the Hudson', airline pilot Chesley Sullenberger managed to land the plane intact on the water from where emergency services and commercial ferries were able to transport all the survivors to safety.
