2. Hudson River Water Landing
The Hudson River emergency landing was one of the most famous instances of reporting via Twitter. U.S. Airways Flight 1549 took off at 3:26 PM. It was less than a minute later when the pilot reported a double bird strike.
Onlooker Janis Krums was the first to break the story when he snapped this shot with his phone and he uploaded the photo to TwitPic while on the ferry to rescue the passengers.
