Miracle! All USAir Flight 1549 Passengers from LGA to NC Safe After Crash - UPDATED



Per MSNBC, ALL SAFE AFTER AIRLINE CRASH!

UPDATE: Charlotte Observer in BofA, Wachovia workers were on plane, has more information on the passengers, which seemed to include many business travelers, i.e. NY-Charlotte commuters:
As many as 20 Bank of America employees may have been on the US Airways flight that crashed this afternoon into the Hudson River. The employees were part of a team that had been flying often to New York to work on the acquisition of Merrill Lynch.

Wachovia, now part of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, said it was aware of three people on board and that they have been confirmed safe.

Charlotte-based Belk had six employees on board.... All are OK, spokesman Steve Pernotto said.

Retirement giant TIAA-CREF, which has a major Charlotte office, had two employees returning home to Charlotte from New York.
