Meanwhile Back at the Ranch

A few minutes ago, I logged onto my Twitter account (mostly to see what I could see) and saw a tweet about today’s incident involving US Airways flight 1549, which landed in the Hudson River following some sort of trouble prior to or shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia.

In less than 10 minutes, a Tweetdeck search for “US Airways” has turned up nearly 1,200 different tweets related to the incident, meaning that reports—both accurate and inaccurate—are making their way around the globe.

Let’s all pray for the souls on board.

And for the good folks at US Airways who need to activate the crisis page on their Website NOW.
