    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.

    I can honestly say that I use to feel the same way. I've come to realize that they make some good pills that will get you over that train of thought. If I can fly sideways and no lose my marbles then anyone can get over that fear of flying! (disclaimer: to get over the fear it might take the use of medication )

    I just saw on the news that the only injury was one person with two broken legs. This is truely a remarkable day that a plane crashes and no one dies. Who really cares what airline it is.

    The only big hairy VAGINA around here is the SOB that can't get in his truck and drive to Arkansas to go hunting unless he can find somebody to hold his hand. Damn if a MAN wanted to go hunting bad enough you'd think he'd go if he had somebody to go with him or not. Oh and not to mention if you are too much of a pussy to go out Saturday just because it's going to be a wee bit chilly then that makes you a double big hairy VAGINA!

    Besides the pills make the flight more fun! They won't let you toke a so you got to do what you got to do.

    My friend and SCDUCKS member, Trigger, made it through the crash landing just fine. He said that the water was cold as an ex mother-in-law but other than that it was more or less anticlimatic. I know one thing, talking him into whacking some goose ass will not be all that hard in the future...

    Just read the updated story on one of the wires and apparently the pilot was pretty calm & level headed. Told the passengers to brace and prepare because we're going down. No fatalaties is quite a miracle.

    Good to hear you buddy is doing well JAB. I know I would not want to get in that water unless it was a life or death situation.

    Careful there, SM, you might be making some poor assumptions. There are a lot of factors involved with an engine's ability to keep running after a bird strike. Large, slow-moving ingestions are pure hell on a jet engine. If you pony up a bottle of Glenmorangie, I'll explain in detail

    Amen! Less-than-stellar airline or not, that was a case of really good piloting skills. Of course, from what I hear, this particular pilot has a better piloting skill set than most...
