A Florence attorney traveling on a U.S. Airways Jet that crashed in to the Hudson River on Thursday afternoon is doing well, according to a colleague he contacted immediately following the crash.
Mike Nunn, a law partner at Aiken, Bridges, Nunn, Elliott and Tyler Law Firm, was in New York for a deposition and was returning to Florence on that aircraft when it crashed, Glenn Elliott, Nunn’s law partner, said during a telephone interview.
“He called shortly after he got off the plane. He apparently was helped off fairly quickly,” Elliott said,. “I understand that he got wet — I’m not sure how much exposure he had — but I understand that he’s afraid he might have a little frostbite otherwise he is safe.”
Nunn told Elliott he heard a loud noise and all the passengers assumed there was something wrong with the engines.
“The plane banked and, shortly thereafter, the pilot told them to brace for impact. That’s all he heard,” Elliott said.
Nunn was scheduled to be on a later flight home. But he finished his work early and decided it was in his best interest to catch an earlier fight, Elliott said.
“He was trying to get out of town early to beat the bad weather,” he said.
Nunn is a shareholder in Aiken, Bridges, Nunn, Elliott and Tyler, according to the firm’s Web site. He primarily handles business, corporate and complex litigation.
