Flight #1549 from LGA to Charlotte. I understand it was a birdstrike but was it a double engine failure? One of the videos I saw this morning showed a passenger talking about the engine on his side bursting into flames but noone mentioned the other engine. Either way it’s no small feat to ditch an A320 and have everyone walk away!
