One news report said A bird had hit both engines. Presumably it went through 1, climbed over the wings, then went through the other engine. Don't you just love pig ignorant journalists!
There was a man satnding on the riverbank, who took a picture with his iphone, posted it on twitter website from his iphone, and within seconds millions of other twitter users had accessed the picture. All the big news agencies now actively monitor Twitter for breaking news.
