The plane, according to the news report, may have hit a flock of birds. The pilot tried to return to the airport when the plane fell into the Hudson.
Television reports show several boats around where the plane is mostly submerged in the water.
One witness interviewed by Channel 4 said he saw the plane decending steadily without its landing gear down."
