After US Airways flight 1549 emergency landed in New York’s Hudson River last January, citizen journalism provided the first on-the-scene reporting, thanks to Janis Krums’ infamous Twitpic of the crash.

More citizen journalism from David Martin resulted in the following time-lapse video embedded below, of the Airbus A320 aircraft submerged in the Hudson’s icy waters and eventually extricated by crane. It’s a strangely captivating book end to the crash landing, which thankfully saw all 155 passengers safely rescued by nearby watercraft.
