Like many news events, it has been extensively covered by news agencies, and, as we are seeing more frequently now, by the public using camera phones. With the popularity of the iPhone a breaking news story, it seems, is never far from our favorite cellular device."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1232140901.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>Not a bad picture considering the conditions. The picture made the front page on several newspapers. It still amazes me that no one was killed or seriously injured, says a lot for the skill of the pilot and flight crew.&nbsp;</p>
