This is a picture of US Airways flight 1549, after it had crashed into the Hudson River, but before any rescuers had arrived. The people who look like they’re walking on water? They’re actually standing on the wings, and it looks like they’re being uncharacteristically patient about it. Consider this: the water must have been freezing cold, and anyone who survived the crash landing might not have survived falling into the water.

I am trying to get some background on this picture, but according to a comment on Facebook, this picture was taken by a private citizen through a telescope. Pretty amazing shot, IMO.
