Today Flight 1549 of US Airways crashed into the Hudson River (no fatalities yay). Janis Krums, visiting form Florida, was on a ferry and overheard people saying “There’s a plane in the river!” Thinking they were joking, he turned to see a freaking plane in the river with people piling onto the wings and into life rafts. He posted a picture to his Twitter account only to be interviewed 20 minutes later by MSNBC. Nuts.

thx Laura.

hot damn!

Mitsubishi Plastics came up with a resin-based plastic that’s easy on the wallets of rinks. Plastic not-ice! Kind of awesome. It seems to work just fine with regular ice skates. I want to know how the blades handle that kind of surface after a few skates, and then after a month or two. Hmm hm. deadspin.
