Airplane in Hudson River after failed takeoff, FAA says

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Emergency officials are responding to a downed plane in 
the Hudson River in New York City, according to the city fire and police 
departments.

The FAA confirmed US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320 headed from New 
York's LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, North Carolina, was down in the 
river following a failed takeoff. 

The U.S. Coast Guard said units were also responding, and a ferry on site 
was dropping life jackets into the water. 

The plane approached the water at a gradual angle and made a big splash, 
according to a witness watching from an office building.

"It wasn't going particularly fast. It was a slow contact with the water 
that it made," the witness, Ben VonKlemperer, told CNN.
