NEW YORK — WFMY News 2 turns 75 in 2024. So to celebrate, we're opening the News 2 Vault to give you a glimpse of what stories we covered on certain days throughout our history.
Jan. 15, 2009, is a day many people remember as the day a miracle happened.
That miracle happened on the Hudson River. U.S. Airways Flight 1549 took off from New York bound for Charlotte.
The plane hit a flock of birds after take-off and had to crash land on the Hudson River.
All 150 passengers and five crew members survived.
The crash and investigation led to safety improvements, including technologies to reduce bird strikes.
