It would be great if lemmy could not be Reddit 2.0 with everyone racing to make the most upvoted joke comment in a news story about three dead kids, but here we are.
This isn’t aimed at you in particular, I’m just sick of seeing it because it’s indistinguishable from actual callousness, even if you’re “coping” through humor.
I don’t know what Information you’re seeing, my comment is far from the most upvoted
One thing keeps surprising me: the number of aircraft crashing into the Hudson river instead of crashing into a crowded New Year City block just nearby. I don't know if it's sheer luck but it sure looks like it.
It's more likely that most flight paths go over the Hudson vs NYC to avoid massive crashes in the city itself.
Especially for the helicopter tours, which aren't allowed over land in NYC.
Well yeah, but airliners and military choppers have come down into the Hudson also.
What airlines other than the Miracle on the Hudson, which was done on purpose?
Edited to add, why the hell did I get downvoted for asking for some examples? Sorry for trying to learn.

I don't see specifically an airliner (i.e. large-body commercial passenger aircraft), but there have been other aircraft:
Deadly NYC helicopter crash adds to tragic list of crashes in Hudson River
Later the same year as the “Miracle on the Hudson”, nine people died when a tourist helicopter and a small private plane collided mid-air and plunged into the Hudson River on August 8, 2009.
Another plane went down in the Hudson River in May 2016.
A World War Two-era plane — a P-47 Thunderbolt — crashed during a celebration for the American Airpower Museum’s 75th anniversary. The pilot, William Gordon, died.
Then in 2019, a charter helicopter crashed in the Hudson River near a heliport after refuelling.
